Trae Crowder opens the conversation with Mitch McConnell freezing up a couple of times now. He then seques into a discussion about how we have too many extremely elderly people in charge of the country, which is not a recipe for confidence in government.

Personally, I think the best solution is to stop creating the problem. Instead of growing complacent and voting for the same people year after year and decade after decade, allow the younger generations their turn. You never know, you might like it.
