Nancy, otoh- past time to retire bitch

I meant NEW adaptives, children.  Bernie, Pelosi, Reid (now retired), McCain, and others are just dinosaurs at this point.  The fact that they're still clinging on is a bit ridiculous.

  
-- your last sentence sez it all: they should go home & STFU. Actually l can think of some Boomers ( starting with the Donald & $hillary) & Xers (Ryan) who need to go home & STFU too

But ya know, it got me thinking, does the Grey Champion have to be a prez? Bernie going toe to toe with the Donald (who should really STFU) got me thinking, mebbe he could be our Grey Champ?

-- I'm just sayin what l heard. I forget where l heard Uncle Joe say he was considering it, but Bernie did not rule it when asked about it on his CNN Town Hall. 3 yrs is a long way off, things can change. Bernie in particular would probably step aside if enough Berniecrats step up to the plate

The Millies could very well ahem, drain the swamp, throwing out both Boomers & Xers, as well as any remaining Silents. Except for Bernie, that is.

SomeGuy Wrote:As voters or office-holders?  If the latter, that's ridiculous.  We still have old Silents in positions of authority and you think within 8 years we're going to have politicians no older than 42? 

--as both. You think these pols just pop up whole cloth? Millies need to run in munincipal & state elections, & maybe the House if they aren't already. As the 2020s progress they move into the Senate, & eventually the WH. Speaking of which, John Kennedy-a Civic- moved into the WH @ age 42, so it could happen. It depends how bad this Crisis turns out to be. They are already the largest voting bloc, & will get bigger when the last cohort (my 16 yr old nieces, et al) turn 18. Meanwhile, the Silents & 1st wave Boomers are dying off. So yeah, l can see the Millies throwing out the dinosaurs (your term, not mine) thruout the 2020s
