The frontrunners keep winning, the Supreme Court keeps Trump's hopes alive, and a pinch hitter

scrambles the California Senate primary on the political junkie.

You like Ike, I like like, everybody likes I for president.

Add light to you, and think to me, I don't care how you quoted.

Come on and vote for Kennedy, vote for Kennedy, and we'll come out on top.

Vote for Richard Nixon and Henry Cabot Loss, because they're the ones to lead the USA.

Thanks for joining us, and welcome to episode 410 of the political junkie.

I'm Ken Rutan.

President Ronald Reagan was 73 years old when Henry Truitt of the Baltimore son asked him this question on October 21, 1984.

Mr. President, I want to raise an issue that I think has been lurking out there for two or three

weeks and cast it specifically in national security terms.

You already are the oldest president in history, and some of your staff say you were tired

after your most recent encounter with Mr. Mondale.

I recall yet that President Kennedy had to go for days on end with very little sleep during the

Cuba missile crisis.

Is there any doubt in your mind that you would be able to function in such circumstances?

It was an important question.

At 73, Reagan was the oldest president in history.

As Truitt alluded, Reagan seemed to be lost and confused during parts of his first debate

with Walter Mondale two weeks earlier.

The president, however, had an answer that seemed to make the issue of age disappear.

Not at all.
