Harrop: Democrats' battles over age ignore age of electorate
By Froma Harrop / Creators.com
Democrats are deep in debate over the age of their older leaders. Some need replacement, according to younger Democrats who want to replace them. And in some cases, they are right.
But these arguments turn toxic when they equate age with capability. Ageism is bad politics, especially when you look at the age of the electorate.
David Hogg, vice chair for the Democratic National Committee, angered many party members with his call to primary older Democratic incumbents in safe districts. The 25-year-old made no distinction between physically fit elder statesmen and others who have shown obvious mental decline.
James Carville, the brains behind Bill Clinton’s presidential wins, hit back. He said the DNC should sue the young man and called Hogg “a contemptible little twerp.”

I'd be fine of both of them went away.
