"It shouldn't be mocked" - Good idea

"Old people should step aside" - good idea

How do you feel about "letting go" of politicians that cry crocodile tears about decorum(not mocking people for health/disabilities) while failing to live up to the standards they suggest other live by?
I am in favor of removing all of them and starting over.

On this I am 100% in agreement

Schumer needs to go

Biden overstayed by 4 years +

Nancy Pelosi by 2 to 3 years

Bernie Sanders needs to find that retirement home

There are plenty more

I think at the moment Trump is OK from aging standpoint but I would say that at the end of his term he will be heading downhill

Aging is not a sin

Just a fact of life

Are you paying attention? He is steady heading downhill and gaining speed.
I don’t disagree with the Dems you mentioned.
Wanna step way out on a limb and suggest some ‘pubs as well?
Susan Collins, cough, cough.

Wow. Thanks, traveler.
i guess the list of office holders in their ‘30s and ‘40s is pretty slim.

You are going to need to be more specific. Who is crying crocodile tears and not walking the walk?

In this specific instance it seems to be the lawmaker from the tweet in the post you first responded, but I was just asking in a more general sense.

To show I not a cult Republican

Let’s throw Mitch McConnell overboard first

There’s some more but can’t think of any that are immediate

Will say that Lindsay Graham is heading that way but with a slow walk

Still think he is doing job but needs to start on exit plant

I think Nicky Haley wants to fill that job or Maybe Henry McMaster

Henry McMaster is just as old. Get out of here with that.

I’m fine with that. Make them actually research the candidates a little.
Only way that happens is if you tell them you aren't putting party on the ballot and then they will only do enough to memorize names.

Your comments were extremely vague. Should I know who Erik Rosales is?

I don't think it's as vague as you seem to, just not specifically about anyone. It's a concept and an attempt to understand your line of thinking.

And I'll be honest, the longer this goes the less I feel you're being earnest.
