39. WRONG!

Sat Nov 4, 2017, 10:50 AM

Nov 2017

Seniority only matters when you're in the majority though.

WRONG! Wrong-wrong-wrong. You couldn't be MORE wrong if you tried.

Actually, Ken, seniority and experience matter even MORE when a party is in the minority! The majority party has the biggest advantage of all, therefore the Democrats need EVERY advantage we can get.

Experience and seniority ARE INDEED advantageous to the party that's out of power. In what alternate reality would such a thing be true? Why would any mature and rational person think otherwise?

Care to explain? Can you elaborate on how you arrived at that conclusion? Or will you just ignore us and pretend it never happened?
