Alaska U.S. Rep. Don Young has died

28. I usually think if he's a lousy person but a "good politician" if you can make more money

In office than on the outside, they always want one more one more term because you can never get enough money. If you're a good person and a good politician, the longer you're in office the more you tell yourself that you're needed there, and sometimes that feeling that you're needed is almost like a drug. It's hard to quit, even though someone younger with fresher ideas might be better for the job. It sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. In 2020 I think Joe Biden guessed right because given the circumstances he was probably the only one who could have beaten TFG.

Funny, though, as old as Young was, people weren't calling him senile and feeble.
