Rand Paul Hints Hillary's Age Could Deter Presidential Bid

Is Hillary Clinton too old to be president? Sen. Rand Paul hints that he thinks she might be.

During an interview with Politico, Paul — a Kentucky Republican who has yet to say publicly whether or not he will run for president in 2016 — said Clinton's age, 67, could be a factor in her campaign if she decides to join the race.

"I think all the polls show if she does run, she'll win the Democrat nomination," said Paul, 51. "But I don't think it's for certain. It's a very taxing undertaking to go through. It's a rigorous physical ordeal, I think, to be able to campaign for the presidency."
Last week, Paul was critical of Clinton on the night of the midterm elections in the form of several tweets.

As the votes were being counted and it was becoming clear that Republican candidates beat Democrats in several key races, Paul tweeted photos of Clinton posing with six Democrats who lost. Each carried the hashtag #HillarysLosers.

"Her main Achilles' heel is that she didn't provide an adequate defense for our consulate in Libya," Paul told Politico. "And also, she didn't think through the unintended consequences of getting involved in the Libyan war."
