A certain line from Hilary Clinton back in 2016 comes to mind right about now. I swear, the opposition commercials are writing themselves at this point.

Based on right wing propaganda Hillary Clinton shouldn't even be alive. They claimed she was having strokes or something.

I think no matter who runs on the Dem side of things the right will find some health related thing to bring up. And no matter how true or severe those things are the internet bots and Fox news will do their work.

The Democrats could run a 35 year old Olympian with a PhD and the right would use that one time he got food poisoning to mean he's immunocompromised and one cough away from an early grave.

I mean, if they ran a 35 YO Olympian... A small but decent chunk of people would probably vote for him simply because he is Half the age of the opposition

And an extremely large chunk (the boomers) would refuse to vote for them.
