He is 74 yrs old. I worry this sends the wrong message that we continue to be the political party of old ideas and old ways and old people.
While I don't always agree with everything some of the younger members say and do we need new ideas and new approaches.
No 74 yrs old has the same fire and stamina of someone in their 30s.
We are only hurting ourselves to think we can keep doing things the same way and expect a different result.
