GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley on Thursday called the Senate “the most privileged nursing home in the country.”

In response to a question about Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) apparently freezing up on Wednesday while taking questions in Covington, Ky., Haley said on Fox News that the Kentucky senator has “done some great things, and he deserves credit,” but emphasized that “you have to know when to leave.”

““No one should feel good about seeing that any more than we should feel good about seeing Dianne Feinstein, any more than we should feel good about a lot of what’s happening or seeing Joe Biden’s decline,” Haley said. “What I will say is, right now, the Senate is the most privileged nursing home in the country.”

        The average age IS pretty fucking high. Fresh blood would be good, methinks. Most of these codgers are career politicians who’ve just cling to their positions for decades

        Biden over Trump was an easy vote. But Biden wasn’t exactly my first pick. There’s something fucked up about people who would be considered absolutely unemployable in any other profession clinging to power and running the country like it was 40 years ago. This applies all around.

      I agree with you and her as far as health care but I doubt McConnell and Feinstein are actually enjoying their golden years. You’d expect a nursing home to help with that part.

      Oh well I don’t feel sorry for them as they are power addicted idiots.

        They look miserable. But I don’t know if Feinstein is power addicted at this point and not just entirely confused and pupeteered by other people. I wonder what she would answer if you asked her how old she is right now.
