Democratic candidate for President Bernie Sanders is 74-years-old. So yeah, for all of us in our roaring twenties who “literally can’t even,” step up. For anyone that’s noticed, being POTUS basically sucks the life force out of you and everyone in the White House (Michelle Obama’s arms NOT included). This got me wondering, if Bernie Sanders got elected, how would a man nearing his 80s handle the heat?
Well Bernie, as vivacious as you are, I think some dietary changes are in order. If the White House is to accommodate someone of your “wisdom,” things have to start getting soft.

While he’s not soft on matters of federal minimum wage, you bet oatmeal would be nice and soft on the palate of old Bernie.

This fruit just sounds like the old version of a peach. If he’s ever stuck in a summit he’s ready to get out of, he could suck on one of these bad boys. The sound will probably be so intolerable, it’ll have everyone there begging for world peace. World 0, Sanders 1.

Nothing like a soft, All-American, treat to gorge when you’re busy fighting for women’s rights.

This food just seems like a personification, you know? That’s because he’s a Vermonter, and there’s nothing like some Vermont cottage cheese (if you made that joke superficial, know you went there on your own).

Have you seen Bernie’s twitter? For 74, his game is strong. Beet drop. Keep it real, Sanders.
