I’m more worried that a cashier gave me an unsolicited senior discount a while back and I’m not even a senior yet.

Seniors must have gone overwhelmingly for Trump, now it’s chucky’s job to scare them back in line.

LOL. I started getting grey hair in my 20s. Many, many moons later, I still don’t get offered any premature senior discounts, though. :-(

Same ole song Dems have been singing for years — every time they lose an election.

Fearmongering.

Republicans need to start labeling Dems — Fearmongers — until it sticks.

That’s an old fear tactic we have heard before. Joe needs new material.

Wow, they’re playing this worn out old record again. Actually it’s more like an 8 track it’s so antiquated.

Seniors are healthier, better informed these days than previous generations. The ‘Rats haven’t figured that out yet.

Look for the price of dog food to skyrocket as seniors will be left fighting over the last cans of Alpo on the shelves.

“”Congressman Price and the average American couldn’t be further apart””

That idiot wouldn’t recognize an average American if they broke down his front door in the middle of the night and hauled him out of bed to the nearest lamp post. It’s always the ones without a clue who want others to believe they speak for us. And sadly, the people they count on getting votes from will eat it up.
