(25,023 posts)If by some chance the 27 year old is the best candidate then vote for them, I'm not talking rocket science. It is the same thought process used now just taking a few possible additional candidates for consideration but you don't think much of young people so it is transformed into something alien and complex in your mind when it is exactly the same process as we know now.
You seriously believe their are ZERO (even if rare) 25 year olds with the intellect, temperment, and knowledge to out perform the likes of Mitt Romney or a Sarah Palin?
You think a John McCain would have run circles around a Julien Castro even six years ago?
I've known extremely competent young people and foolish and ignorant older folks and vice versa. The generalities don't matter it is the specific individuals who should be evaluated.
In fewer words...so?
