Chuck Grassley is 88 years old and running for his next six year term in office. How do we get age/term limits on these fossils?

On the flip side, Nancy Pelosi is 81 and powering through. Be careful what you wish for.

But Nancy says this is her last year ! I'm being selfish but, she can't leave - who could replace her ? I'm not sure.

She is one of the few whom I'd trust to have a plan. :)

I honestly thought Nancy should have let one of the younger members of Congress, like Katie Porter, become Speaker. Then she could mentor Katie and the next Speaker would be prepared to handle the role. There may be another choice but Porter is immensely popular and it would be tough for Republicans to criticize her for her wealth or anything else. Her ethics are phenomenal. And her whiteboard is awesome.

Katie Porter is incredible. She is so much smarter than any republican they wouldn't know where to begin is they chose to criticize her! She does her whiteboard brilliantly as she focuses on facts and redirects.

I agree! Though Pelosi is good at what she does, there comes a time when the addiction to power must be let go for the good of all...

I would not want to do without Bernie either, but still think we could use some fresh ideas and courage that might come along with someone not so set in their ways. (Schumer, etc)

Vote them out.

ItтАЩs hard to vote them out when no one will primary them. We had no choice but Feinstein in the last cycle.

Diane Feinstein has also filed to run again.

Unfortunately, I don't think that is a good decision. She has shown signs of dementia and the democrats should be spending time mentoring someone else to run in her place. Nancy Pelosi has been great, but there comes a time when it is time to let go of the gavel and push the mentoring! There are generations out there that have to live with whatever is going on a lot longer than we senior citizens!! Get them into office!
