    He’s 71. America needs to get over it’s fetish of old men politicians. Every single position of elected government should have two term limits.

      It’s not a fetish, they’re the only people that want to go into politics.

      At 25, when people are eligible, they have usually worked for a bit and politics isn’t on their mind.

      Old people can also afford to fuck around with the economy more, they got theirs.

        That is not true at all. The problem is that the archaic US political system is geared towards benefiting old white men.
