Blatant ageism!

uncommon != inappropriate

I’m only slightly kidding. I am thoroughly impressed with his comments thus far and would like to hear more of what he has to say.

On one hand, I remember thinking I knew a lot more than a I did when I was 14. On the other hand, he is not me!

Ageism over being too old is forbidden. Ageism over being too young is enshrined into our Constitution.

I'd rather vote in someone who is young and perhaps naive, if they happen to be altruistic and are at least attempting to work for the common good to the best of their ability... in contrast to (some but not all) more experienced candidates who know how to kiss babies and work a crowd, but who are ultimately making promises they don't intend to deliver on, in order to gain a position of power for selfish reasons.

At the very least, this guy probably has better written and verbal communication skills than certain well-known politicians... seems like a decent start.

You make some fine points. I may appear gullible in this exchange, but so be it. I cannot disagree with you here. Consider me won over.
