As we move into April, the presidential campaign trail has only become more controversial. With Republican presidential candidate and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz's alleged sex scandal, his back and forth with GOP frontrunner Donald Trump, and an online Twitter war between Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Election Day can't come soon enough.

Another interesting tidbit: If Clinton and Trump secure the nomination for their respective parties, it will be the first time in the history of the United States that two presidential nominees over the age of 65 years old would face off, according to Newsweek.
