Do the graphs on this site put the lie to the Democrats's diatribe that the Republicans are the "old men"?
http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/both-republica...
Thw first graphs shows that the Democrats in Congress are nearly 5 years old on average than the Republicans. In addition the oldest Senator at the Moment is Democrat Feinstein at 81. Out of the eldest 20, it isj 10R-9D-1I(or 10-10 if you count Sanders(I) as a Dem).
In addition we Republicans just electeed an 18-year old to state office in West Virginia. I'm sorry Liberals, weren't ALL the millenials and later supposed to be yours?

I think you misunderstood the original point.
We're not saying Congressional Republicans are older than Congressional Democrats, we're saying elderly Americans are more likely to vote for Republicans.

Not really. The bases of each party couldn't be more different. Republicans are, by and large, older white folks. Democrats are, by and large, everyone else.

The Dems aren't as much ageist as they are racist. The Dem's focus is more on old WHITE men, rather than simply old men.

they are't talking about the politicians ages. they're talking about the voters.
