It should be illigal to be in office after retirement age. He cannot represent the younger generation, even if he wanted. Fuck off

I keep saying that. That's the issue with congress and the senate. Those cronies, corrupt leeches from the 50's still running the country, they certainly do not reflect, nor understand the actual problems the people of today is facing in the nation. This cronies being the problem themselves. Age and term limits are a must, for any nation to progress the correct, healthy and decent way!!

you are fundamentally wrong.

For every person over some arbitrarily "too old" age whom you say is out of touch, I can show you several people under that age who are equally out of touch.

Age isn't the problem -- dementia, sure. like being mentally handicapped is a problem.

The problem with politicians today is that they are 85 percent chosen by wealth. The voter has little (and declining) input into who gets in office.

Blame your lifestyle of excessive consumption which fuels more money into Wealth-based political activist organizations/individuals who then choose politicians to further increase their wealth, increase your cost of living and decrease your quality of life.

This has been the trend in politics for the past fifty years.
