We Democrats, we do have a very good and diverse coalition. It truly is diverse, everywhere you look at it. But in terms of leadership in Congress, it is true, they’re getting older.
Frankly, anyone who runs on that as an issue should be defeated, overwhelmingly by everybody.
The way the Senate works, as you know, it’s a supermajority to get anything done. It has nothing to do with age.
It's up to his colleagues to determine if they want such a coward, such a liar, to be their leader, and or maybe even speaker.
