1. Please, God - DON'T let her run!

If elected, Mills will be 78 when she takes office - the same age Trump is today (and just look at that bastard.)

Despite her history, Mills is too old to be an effective Senator. She will be a junior senator until she dies. Is she going to run again 6-years later when she is 82? (Would you want to elect an 82-year old to serve until she is 90? Remember Diane Feinstein's last Senate years when she approached age 90? Remember how frustrated the Party was over her mental confusions...?)

The top of the Party - in fact, BOTH Parties - are looking like the Soviet Politburo of the 1980's. One-quarter into the 21st Century is not the time to elect someone from the first half of the 20th.

Mills is running for vanity. She should not be elected to satisfy that vanity.
