Age is Only a Number

There is a lot of political talk from the left about the age of President (45) Trump vs President (46) Biden. Both are running for the same office in November’s Presidential Election and there can be only one winner, but as we know there could be over 43M losers – American citizens.

Well let me burst your bubble – Age is only a number! Yes that’s right!

What age doesn’t do is change your maturity level when it comes to politics. Someone dumber than dirt at age 35 may still be dumber than dirt at age 75, 85 or 95.

Watch each politician. I mean really watch them, listen to what they say and how they say it (their message delivery).

Are they energetic, engaging, dynamic and are they communicating to you? Or are they lackluster at best?

Do they command a crowd? By that I mean are there crowds of people leaning in anticipation waiting to hear what they have to say?

Do they use a teleprompter and still have trouble following along or reading their given lines?

Or do they speak from their heart and tell you what they really believe or just what you want to hear?

Politicians are like flies. Once they touch the sweet stuff (honey, sugar, nectar) they just can’t let it go. We see that in members of congress who’ve taken up homesteading rights, making the House or the Senate their HOME!

Am I right?

Lately we’ve see several coming to the chamber being pushed in wheelchairs and stay until they have to be carried out on a stretcher. Their funerals paint them as a saint or demigod. Their co-harts (compadres) have the audacity to demand that certain politicians are banned from attending. Unless it is written in their last will and testament “that politician “X” be banned from my funeral” who are they (anyone) to think they (Nancy) can demand anything?

Maybe that’s really what age does to some people. They either can’t function as they grow older, but then again who’s to say they were functioning when they were younger?

Politics should NEVER be a lifetime thing. I mean a career in politics simply means they couldn’t find or gain meaningful employment elsewhere and made getting votes their only claim to fame.

It’s the “how many politicians does it take to change a lightbulb” kind of thing? They must first see, know and recognize that the lightbulb has burnt out! – RTM
