A 74-year-old who is dying of cancer was chosen over a 35-year-old rising star at the insistence of an 84-year-old woman (who is currently undergoing hip replacement surgery) just months after an 81-year-old Presidential candidate was forced to drop out of the race because he showed sever symptoms of cognitive decline during a debate. If this were a satire about a gerontocracy, I would think it was too over the top.
Oh yeah, if we’re talking Republicans too, don’t forget that the 82-year-old Senate minority leader, who has had mysterious freezing spells this year, was hospitalized for a fall just last week.

In my original comment, yes, he is the person with cancer I’m referencing. In the comment you’re replying to, I’m referring to Mitch McConnell, who suddenly froze mid sentence during a press conference.. Twice.
The state of politics is truly terrifying.
What…
…are you…
talking about?
