Our US Rep, Dean Phillips, is willing to say it out loud. Abilities based on age should be a factor in evaluating the performance of duties for public office. He recently encouraged his party to look for a new presidential candidate instead of endorsing someone who keeps loosing track of his speeches. He’s willing to say Biden is too old for the job.
This week Senator Diane Feinstein of California died while serving in office at age 90. She had recently been ushered in and out of the chambers in a wheelchair looking old and confused. Perhaps Philips was influenced by her recent passing when he stepped down from a party leadership role today. Perhaps he is trying to gin others up to say out load what everybody knows to be true. Age matters.
