1. There needs to be Term Limits for Senators

2 Terms maximum - just like Presidents. These guys are too old for all that work and far too set in their ways and way of thinking,which is out of touch!!

2. Let's hope this identifies a trend.... the lower the age, the lower the giddiness.

I've seen articles and such here and there that suggest that millenials and younger do have better world views. True????

[IluvPitties]

4. Yeah, for the most part.

[Demovictory9]

3. and the combined population of the states the senators represent are dwarfed by California

these old white men have set in motion the judicial governance of the state of california 40 million people that are on average much younger, more brown, much more female than these guys. ARE WE TRULY EXPECTED TO LIVE BY THEIR RULES FOR DECADES!

5. 576 years old combined

We need to find a young, hyper liberal Methuselah and stick him on the bench.

6. All members of the Silent Generation born 1928-1945

Heavily pro-Republican generation and predisposed to think that way based on Truman's low average approval rating throughout his two terms followed by Eisenhower's sky high approval ratings especially during his first term.

Presidential popularity when a person turns 18 is a great predictor toward how they will think and vote all their lives.

More often than not, obviously. As a gambler I am always interested in the cheap advantage of more often than not, and don't care about anecdotal evidence the other way. Obviously there are millions of exceptions among the Silent Generation, including both of my parents and high numbers on this website.

Trump came along at a time in which there were still enough members of that generation both in congress and especially on the voter rolls. He would have had a considerably more difficult time, if not next to impossible, a decade later.

11. Sure about the silent generation?

Most of them I have ever met (including my parents ) are staunch democrats. Especially the ones who benefited from FDR's new deal and those who grew up in the depression

7. McConnell is 76! I thought he was 102. The life span of turtles can be over 150. God help us!

[Demovictory9]

10. lol. he doesn't look that healthy... I don't think people 20 years from now will dealing

with his hate mongering politics

[JI7]

8. there is also ted cruz, lindsey Graham, jeff flake and every other one of them

[JI7]

9. i will say one good thing is that many from Kavanaugh's class years DID oppose him

and speak out against him even though republicans did not want to listen or care.
