    I’m so dejected about it. Our geriatric “leaders” won’t lead and they refuse to get out of the way and let younger generations take their turn. If I didn’t have plenty of skeletons that would be used against me in a campaign, I’d feel a moral obligation to run for office at some level.

      Neither Marco or “JD” are geriatric and that doesn’t make them any better.

      I wouldn’t get distracted by the age of the politician; it doesn’t make much difference. I’d take a 1000 Bernies - even at his current age - over any young douchebag being cranked out by the brosphere.
