  No, everyone is hoping Feinstein retires because she sucks. Age has nothing to do with suckability--just look at the Republicans.
context: Lee is a good rep and she was chair of the progressive caucus but she is too old. Porter and Schiff are much younger and Porter in particular has shown she can be an aggressive advocate for the people of California and the US in general. >
  
  Schiff is a no for me. >
  
  I think I'd much rather have Porter over both Schiff and Lee.  Lee is just too old, and sue me for being ageist, but I just don't think we need someone would be retired in any other field sitting in a body of only 99 other lawmakers.  And I love Schiff, but I'm pretty sure he's in a safer congressional district than Porter, and would hate to lose that seat.  Sorry Schiffy, that's politics baby. >
  
  If Schiff's district is safer than Porter's, doesn't that mean you should prefer Schiff to run rather than Porter? Because Schiff's seat is less likely to be lost by another candidate. >
  
  Babara Lee is 76 years old.
  Catie Porter is 49 years old. >
  
  Krysten Sinema is 46 years old. >
  
  Jon Ossoff (D-GA) is the youngest sitting senator at 35, replacing Missouri Senator Josh Hawley, who at 41 was the youngest senator of the 116th Congress. Ossoff is the youngest person elected to the U.S. Senate since Don Nickles in 1980.
  My point is that everyone is hoping Feinstein to retire because she is too old.
