These senators are old AF.

They all look like muppet characters. This cannot be good for our country. Can we get some talent in there?

It is tough for smart younger people to get elected because you need money and you already have a job/career. Hard to tell your employer that you are going to be in Congress for a few years then go back to real work. That's why most of them are lawyers, old retired people, or idiots that couldn't get a real job.

Old senators is only bad when the are old AND career politicians.
Young, smart people should be out in the world making money or having careers.
Politicians, in theory, should be people that have already spent a life being successful and gaining experience and wisdom.
But we have the worst of both worlds. Old fricks whos only experience is politics.

There’s got to be some Ivy League kids that can’t cut it In industry...with money. Hell, I’d take state school history grads...

It’s a terrible look.
Our system was set up so the best and brightest represented the citizens. Now it’s just mostly corrupt dinosaurs.

Term Limits, that is all that would keep a career bureaucrat from being re-elected.
But the political purists tell us we have term limits, they call term limits elections. I think we can agree that elections are woefully inadequate to limit the tenure of career politicians because encumbents quickly tap into the money from special interest groups and corporations. If 8 years is enough for the president 12 years is enough for congressional members.

One problem with term limits is that you need to have a lifetime limit.
You can’t just do a Louisiana Legislature version where you serve 3 in one house then run for another seat in the other house and then come back to your original seat with your original seniority.
I am starring at you John Alario who was in the legislature for decades before retiring last year.
Also, better regulations on campaign finance laws where you cannot live your life through campaign donations.

Senators can't have a real job and be in office. That's why Rand had to drop his medical practice. I would repeal this.

At least this one doesn’t look like he needs hospice?
