    Before you get excited the “young blood” replacements are: 72, 62, 60, and a long shot at 52.

    It’s fucking insane that a 72 is saying the incumbent is too old and we need fresh leadership skills of a 72 year old

    That line of thinking alone should disqualify Costa from the position

      Looks like Costa also co-sponsored a bill that let’s farmers dump their toxic shit without any oversight and he supports building the Keystone XL pipeline. He also was blocking the ACA passage for a while. He’s a shit bird.

      Jesus. For just a second I had some hope that they learned something.

        They somehow learned less than nothing. They sound like theyve learned that they hated the youth and the left even more than they thought, and that there can be no half measures in sucking up to the “left wing of the republican party” for votes. Too much “woke” and “abortion support” was the whole problem, they think.

    They’re replacing the 77 year old with a 62 year old. At least it’s a step in the right direction… There is an age minimum, I would love an age maximum. Airline pilots do, let’s put that same restriction on our leaders.
