10. I read a lot of comments here at DU criticizing

our youth and younger leaders on the basis of “experience”. That is exactly why I posted this article; in response to arguments that are not sensible to me. If someone can win the primary, that should be sufficient evidence of ability ... especially in these times when there are no norms. If younger legislators can challenge and displace older leaders, that in itself is sufficient for me to give them my support.
