He's 74. How hard is it to look up his actual age before starting a thread like this?

No, and he's pushing up the age bar to run for POTUS, so that I can run when I am 80.

The life expectancy may be 76 but for someone who has already reached that age it's much higher because you factor out all chances of death up to that point. Sanders seems healthy so there are much better reasons to oppose him than his age.

Yeah, on average a 74 year old American man will live for 11.55 more years.

Though of course that doesn't mean that he'd necessarily be in good enough health to be POTUS the whole time.  Just look at Reagan.
