But it’s Democrats who have the bigger problem, starting with Biden.
Bob Dole’s death at age 98 after a battle with lung cancer reminds us of how much people can contribute in their 80s and beyond. A disabled veteran, Dole served as national chairman of a campaign that raised funds for the building of the National World War II Memorial. Until recently, Dole frequently spent mornings in his wheelchair at the entrance to the memorial greeting visiting veterans. He also was active as a lobbyist, established a public-policy institute in his native Kansas, and wrote his autobiography.
But all of that service came after Dole left public office following his loss, at age 73, to Bill Clinton in the 1996 presidential race. Dole stepped down as Senate majority leader and resigned his Senate seat to make way for someone else to represent Kansas. He later said that, with perfect hindsight, he saw that he might have been a little too old to serve two terms if he had been elected president and very well might have served only one.
President Jimmy Carter, who at age 95 is the longest-lived chief executive in American history, said in 2019 that he didn’t believe he could have managed the most powerful office in the world at 80 years old.
Carter didn’t tie his comments to then 73-year-old President Donald Trump or to Democratic candidates Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders, both of whom were in their late 70s.

Of course, Jimmy Carter proved he could not manage the office period.
Where’s Feinstein?
Crenshaw and Cotton are as RINO as they come. Yes they served. Yes they’re Establishment all the way.
As for the age stuff, other than Grassley, it would appear that the Dem’s have the market corned in that respect. Another ridiculous article from the ultimate in UNIPARTY/RINO/GOPe/Country Club Republican clowns at National Review.
Old democrats are fools and the young ones are commies... must be crap to be them.
100%.....But in their bubbles, they are all the King/Queen Sh*ts of Turd Hill.
And they have a very loyal following.
I wouldn’t lump DeSantis in with Tom Cotton and Dan Crenshaw.
I see more young up and coming GOPers than Dims and without the GOP “trying” to be “more diverse” it is becoming so because the “minorities” are increasingly finding their way out of the Dims intellectual plantation. It is more diverse younger folks finding their home in the GOP. To the extent that dispels the myths the Dims spin that is a good thing.
I really like DeSantis. Looks like a winner to me.
