    Its a shame, at 70 years old he was injecting some much needed youth and vigor into the party

    What is the average age of our representatives? My guess is it’s close to 75.

    All they do is sit on their ass and bloviate. Age isn’t the issue it’s senility and dumbassidness.

    It’s late 50s. It’s just the leadership that is ancient.

    What we need is voters who are smart enough not to make these lifetime positions.

    Not a valid argument against term limits. Using your logic, we could eliminate all law if people were simply 'smart enough'.

    His passing has no impact on upcoming votes. If two Republicans vote no on any upcoming bill then it still dies
