So what. You support them staying in congress until they are taken out feet first. You are a huge reason we have a geriatric facility for the congress. It’s disgraceful that you are boo hooing these ancient senators for finally retiring. And yes the old crones have been retiring the last three cycles. Glory be for that. Yes your hero McCain was a sample of your desires for all senators to stay until last breath. Yuk!

You do realize you are playing the part of a nincompoop
here right?

So desperate were you, that you had to mention McCain as if
I would support that man to be dog catcher.

We need bodies in Congress. We need to have the majority.

Every time an incumbent steps down, we go from a 80-90%
chance of holding a seat, to a 50/50 at best.

I’m 70 years old. I’m not in favor of being mean to old
people. If you think it’s bad for me to want us to remain
in the majority, think where we are headed with seniors
right now, rationing medicine for the elderly.

In Great Britain, they put old people on DNR without their
consent. This means that if they stop breathing, or have
some other think happen that can be remedied without too
much trouble, they don’t do it. They let the person die.

That is coming here. I don’t want it to. If our party is
in the majority, it won’t come as quickly, or perhaps not
at all.

You can play this silly game of trying to shame me all you
like, but if you give a darn about this nation, you’ll get
with the program and support people staying on.

The year Trump was sworn into office, a whole slew of people
left the House. If I remember correctly, one or more left
the Senate also.

What happened in 2018? We lost the majority. How did that
work out for us?

Now, do you want to slander me by saying I’m heartless, or
do you want to pick up your intelligence off the floor, and
realize how badly this nation is being damaged by the Left
getting breaks when it comes to people stepping down in
large numbers?

Read this:

In 2017, 55 Republicans decided not to run again.

One of them was Paul Ryan. Now there’s an elderly person
huh.
