In 1980, Ronald Reagan set the record for the oldest first-term winner at age 69. Beginning with that election, take into consideration the ages of the Republican presidential nominees since.
1980: Ronald Reagan, elected, 69
1984: Ronald Reagan, re-elected, 73
1988: George Bush, elected, 64
1992: George Bush, unseated, 68
1996: Bob Dole, 73
2000: George W. Bush, elected (without the popular vote), 54
2004: George W. Bush, re-elected (with the popular vote), 58
2008: John McCain, 72
2012: Mitt Romney, 65
Take this "New Republican talking-point about Hillary: 'She's too old !'" and dismiss it immediately.
