    I’m not talking about just the president. I don’t think we need anyone older than 60 deciding the future. I’m less than a decade from 60 but have been ruled by people much older than me why whole life. It isn’t any better and in some ways worse than it was when I was in my twenties.

    If you’re old enough to draw your full Social Security payment, you’re too old to hold public office.

    Sorry, Bernie. You’re one of the good ones, but you’ll have to make sacrifices for the common good.

      Not being eligible doesn’t mean not doing campaigns for other people.
