1. Love Love Love Boxer!!!!

[hollysmom]

6. in general or for insulting her self and her constituents?

[NCTraveler]

8. She has been a great representative for her constituents for decades.

Insulting herself? That is simply too funny. I love it when people try to outdo themselves with their rhetoric. It always brings something funny out like you did there. NCTraveler, you have insulted yourself!!!!! Bwahahahahaha. This is really getting good and people are becoming more and more transparent with their Boxer hate.

[Betty Karlson]

15. She is undoing a lot of good work by hurting so many of her constituents.

And by the way: if I resent Clinton for praising Nancy (Reagan), that doesn't make me an ill-informed "bro". It just makes me an irrevocably lost voter, who overmore is hell-bent on overturning 20th century politicking.

[hollysmom]

16. I don't hate her, but I do find she does have great party loyalty that affects her votes.

and if you love party loyalty, you should really love republicans, I find most liberals (or are we now eliminating the term liberal fromthe party?) think for themselves.

2. I know--it's like when you have to remind Clintonistas that their candidate is, in fact, white

"white candidate!" "but she and you are white!"
"straight male candidate!" "but you're a straight guy!"

[tonyt53]

3. When you have become as accomplished as Boxer, then your opinion of her might matter more.

Experience really does matter.

[CorkySt.Clair]

7. She's done more good than Backbench Bernie that's for sure.

[Yurovsky]

24. Hell yeah! Torch that broccoli!!!

Hahahahahahaha!!!!



Make them earn that $0.25 a post...

[tonyt53]

27. Been a real Democrat for about 45 years. Didn't just jump on a bandwagon.

Also, what the hell does it matter how long I've been on here? I did not see any time criteria for posting and/or replying. So, I guess since you have been on here longer, that your opinion counts more than mine? Sorry about the butt-burn, but that isn't the how democracy works.

4. I don't read Boxer's comment as a reference to Sanders's age.

[Uncle Joe]

5. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, cyberpj.

[Faux pas]

9. Kicketty Kickin' for the

hypocrisy of it all

[AzDar]

10. She's a liar. I put nothing past her after her NV Convention behavior...

[Surya Gayatri]

11. "Barbara Boxer is 75, 1 yr older than Sen. Sanders."

She looks 15 years younger. Frankly, The Berned One looks increasingly hunched and doddering.

Hardly a robust image. His mouth hangs open in fatigue when in repose, and his shoulders curve over in a widow's hump.

Not ageism...just simple reality.

[Surya Gayatri]

18. If calling her the "w" word is your pleasure, you can always try to slip it in (as you did here).

Good luck with a jury.

And, after June 16th? No way, José.

[RiverSong]

20. You people are absurd.

[Yurovsky]

25. Yes they are...

It's typical elitist behavior. Rules are for thee, but not for me... Laws too, apparently.

[jwirr]

12. It's the issues.

[Vinca]

13. Hillary isn't what you'd call a spring chicken.

IMO, it's a shame we didn't have some younger candidates run, but the track was cleared for you-know-who so our nominee will be old no matter who it is.

[Tarc]

21. Ageism against millennials isn't a thing, any more than misandry is actually a thing

[anotherproletariat]

23. Exactly. And really, and the whole concept of "ageism" needs to be handled carefully.

There are many age based laws in our society, which most people feel are helpful...driving age, drinking age, minimum age to be President. And realistically, there is an arbitrary upper age limit for many things as well. Many states require older citizens to be retested for driver's licenses more frequently than younger citizens. Professions such as pilots, air traffic controllers and in many states, judges have mandatory retirement ages.

I think most people would think that an 80 year old is too old to run for president. Some people would think it is younger. While we don't have a firm law on this, it is not unreasonable to take age into account when considering a presidential candidate. I know that if a 35 year old was running, it certainly would be a factor in people's decision, and it should be. Younger people by and large do not have the understanding of someone even slightly older. It is a well-used tactic for a fringe candidate to use the younger generation's idealism and inexperience to amass a large following (and focus on large rallies, to use as photo ops). Older people have seen this time and again, which is what I believe the Senator is referring to.

[ContinentalOp]

22. No, it's entirely different than racism, sexism, and homophobia

Everybody starts out young and gets old if they live long enough. Plus it's legal to discriminate based on age. For example people under the age of 18 can't vote.

[2banon]

28. Word.
