I think it would be a big mistake if the DNC got rid of David Hogg.

49. Or start with races like school boards where he would be a good fit.

I like the guy and he's wise beyond his years in a lot of ways. But we need to unify the party, not fracture it.

Look, the Democratic party is not the only workplace where people are not giving as much value to age and experience as we used to. We live in a disruptive time marred by inorganic change, which is frightening to a lot of people. I like a mix of age and experience with youth and energy in almost every environment. That's why guilds and then unions worked. People started as apprentices, then became journeyman, and so on, carefully training as they moved up.

Now the model seems to be taking shortcuts and jumping the line. That's a broad brush example, I know. Some people don't even want to move up in the line and some people obviously have the talent to get ahead faster.

I agree with trying to flip districts instead of primarying people in safe districts. Among other things, people who have been in office longer have formed alliances we probably don't even know of, and have learned a lot of the unspoken rules.

I am firmly against term limits in Congress. We like people in other professions to have experience. I don't know how to strike the correct balance but I don't think it's helpful to get rid of all the seasoned pols.
