We don’t have term limits now. So, at this point I want as many conservatives serving as long as they possibly can. If he were still alive, I’d take an 80 year old Jesse Helms over almost any young whippersnapper.
I have absolutely no doubt that the Leftists would rather have a demented old broken down Lefty white guy than a fresh new conservative. In fact, the Leftists do have such a guy and his name is Harry Reid. And I’ll bet that your fresh new energetic guy who can withstand the rigors of frequent flights will vote for the demented old white guy aka Harry Reid.
But many of the old folks keep losing! Roberts does us absolutely no good if he loses the election to a liberal.
