An unusual time-lapse video made by a Washington, D.C. nonprofit fundraiser and his friends shows former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton aging from her teen years to the present. Clinton, 67, is the presumptive Democratic White House front-runner and would be 69 years and 86 days old if she were to become president after the 2016 elections.
That would make her the second-oldest chief executive to move into the White House behind only Ronald Reagan, who took office 17 days before he turned 70.
A 73-year-old Reagan famously quipped in a 1984 debate against Democrat Walter Mondale, then 56, that he wouldn't make age an issue in his re-election campaign.
'I will not exploit, for political purposes, my opponent's youth and inexperience,' he said during a memorable debate.
The new video, from a trio calling themselves the 'Calculating Clinton' project, shows Mrs. Clinton in 28 separate photos, each morphing into the next at 2-second intervals.
One of the project's creators told Daily Mail Online that his partners include a social media executive and a professional videographer.
'I don't think her age disqualifies her from becoming president, but her politics and tactics are definitely relics of the 90s.' he said, requesting anonymity because his job doesn't involve partisan politicking.
'Our video is simply an exercise in branding. We have no money behind us,' he added, calling the effort 'just three young professionals interested in reaching people using nontraditional tactics and messages that break through the noise and stick with people.'
