(or indeed 'age limits'). Ample evidence (for me) out there that 'newer' is not necessarily 'better' ... ( by any applicable measure or yardstick. )

Then too - how about allowing ME to decide who is the better person for the job (in both primary and general election)? By all means - line them up side by side. But, I should get to choose!

And - in the case of the 'new' GOP. Lookout! The new breed of candidate - is kryptonite!
With anyone willing to run under THIS banner .... Literally has two strikes against them in advance!
