    Also, you do want people with experience there. Having a rotating door of only young people doesn’t really help anything.

      The door wouldn’t be rotating anymore than it is now.

      And what’s your source on young people not helping anything? All the times in US history that we made the most progress were under young Democrat presidents.

        I didn’t say young people don’t help anything. I said having only new young people all the time doesn’t help. Having people with experience is a good thing.

          Do you think JFK had no experience? He became president at 47. Did he “not help”, as you put it?

          Your claim is not only vague but has also been presented without any reasoning.

            Why are you trying to argue? It was a general statement I made, I’m not presenting a case study.
            Chill out, goddamn.

              Because the statement you made doesn’t have sound reasoning.

              In other words, you’re wrong.
