With all due respect for Asa Hutchinson standing up to Trump, I don't think what this next Presidential contest needs is more white male septuagenarians.

I doubt he'll even win the primary. With any luck he'll be rotting in prison.

I don't think people's age is relevant unless they are very young, in their thirties, then you need to take a close look at their experience level and maturity.

I've been noticing a lot of ageist rhetoric lately in the US which I think may be originating exogenously. It feels very much like what went on in the 60's, when we were in a proxy war with China in Vietnam. They stirred up a lot of conflict here in the US and the generation gap was one of the things they agitated.

This uptick in ageist rhetoric seems very much like that, which may be clue as to its source.
