Well, Blunt is 71, Shelby 86. Portman 65, Burr 65.
All will be past normal retirement age in two years.
Maybe, at least some, really want to retire!
Did you ever consider that some people just want to retire, when they reach certain age?
The senate term is 6 years. Blunt would be older at the end of his next term than Resident Bidet is nowadays.

Rinos hitting the eject button. Reminds me of the Arab pilots who did the same once they saw an Israeli radar lock from an F15.

At 88 Grassley’s clock is running out...his years are few...he looks close to the end already and he is loosing his ability to put two sentences together to make any sense...

AGE MATTERS...and these politicians need to vote for TERM LIMITS...even Sen. Blunts is wasted away...as for Pat Toomey, he saw the writing on the wall and knows he would never get re elected in PA. again...

Time for NEW candidates to get out and about and make themselves familiar with voters. Time for DJT to decide we need a new Party and the GOP IS DEAD and needs replaced by new people, new blood, and new fights...get with if deplorables...wake up...let's roll...

It’s always refreshing when Democrat/leftist/liberal media types try to advise Republicans and conservatives on what’s in our best interest.

Want to make it that, have every Republican Senator start pushing for repeal of the 17th Amendment. To use the Left’s idiom.....if they’re all so good and do so much for their respective states and constituents, then they shouldn’t fear having the state legislatures sending someone else Senate.

People who push for the repeal of the 17th Amendment act as if it would be a magical elixer to restore Constitutional checks and balances.

I do not believe it would be.

State legislatures may well be easier to bribe/corrupt than state voting populations.

Senators still represent the entire state, instead of a voting district.

A Senator from Rhode Island still has as much power as a Senator from California.

A major reason for the 17th Amendment was the high level of corruption among Senators.

You make good points about the makeup of state legislatures.

It is something to consider.

The big problem with the state voter selecting Senators is the enormous influence of the Progressive Media and the Tech Oligarchs.

They’ve all had a good talking to. Look for Mitt to announce soon.

I was reading back sometime near 1996 that the Republican party was hoping to get enough immigrants into the south because they hated pandering to southern conservatives to get their votes. They do not like their voters is true.

I suspect that you (hopefully) understand that there will not be an honest election for the foreseeable future.

‘22, ‘24, you’re kidding, right ?

Think about it. Bush was first elected 20 years ago. That would be like comparing Eisenhower era politicians (1961 when he left office) to Reagan era politicians (1981 when he assumed office). 20 years is a long time in politics. Good riddance to all the Bush era politicians.

Bad journalism as usual. They don’t “represent the Republican party” idiots. They represent states and districts.

Establishment Junk!
