Steve Chapman: Is Hillary Too Old?

Are there good reasons to vote against Hillary
Clinton? Plenty, writes Steve Chapman.

She’s an unreformed hawk, a true believer in big government and
a tedious speaker. During her 2008 campaign against Barack Obama,
she waffled on immigration, disparaged free trade and compared her
opponent, unfavorably, to John McCain.

She made false statements about her role in the 1993 White House
travel-office scandal, defended her husband as he lied about Monica
Lewinsky, lost records requested by prosecutors in another scandal
only to find them two years later, and managed to make $100,000
trading on cattle futures in suspicious circumstances. She has
offered no discernible reason she should be president beyond her
resume and her sex.

But there are also reasons not to vote
against her—including that, at 67, she’s too old. But that’s one
that Republicans seem determined to flog, according to Chapman.
