    You watch. They will only take his congressional seat from his cold, dead hands. He would have to be a drooling vegetable.

    Anyway, if Democrats won’t get rid of Feinstein, Republicans sure as hell won’t get rid of McConnell.

      It’s going to take these old assholes dropping dead in the Capitol before we start doing anything but bitching about the ages of our congresspeople. And yes, anyone selfish enough run for re-election when they’re over the age of 70 is an asshole in my book

      I really think every level of politician should have age and term limits. Get more people in there, maybe there will even be one with some grasp on reality.

        That limit should be the same as for anyone else - retirement age, 65 and ciao. This holding on to the power with limp hands while half dead is just stupid AF.

    This guy is spring chicken and chock full of ideas for a better tomorrow. Hope he stays in Senate for another 50 years, if nothing else, as a brain in a jar, Futurama style.
