 Here’s a simple question I’d like to hear you reporters asking in your “what voters are saying” segments:

Which do you think should be more disqualifying  for a presidential candidate:

1) Openly admiring dictators and nations openly engaged in ruthless authoritarian acts against their own people.

2) Being 80 years old? 
 @40cd5708 Well, number 2 has only four words without too many letters, so I'm going to go for that one. I won't pick number 1 because it would take me about three hours to understand what it means, and then my head would hurt.

;) 
 @40cd5708 

I think you need to rephrase option No. 2:

“2) Openly being 80 years old?"
