Well what do you know? I agree with Nikki Haley on something.

Joe Biden's decline? Look, I don't like having great-grandpa in the Whitehouse or Senate or Supreme Court, and I think we should have an age limit, but there's no need to invent a "decline" to make a point.
And I'd press her on naming one "great thing" McConnell has done...
Depends on perspective. If you're a fascist, that list is quite long.
His unwavering support for Ukraine.
Or if you want a dish that is well chilled but much spicier look no further than the Anti-Corruption Act of 1988
Look at the Sponsor, then look at the Co-Sponsor, then read the Summary. Look familiar? 😉
Sad that “one great thing” now equates to doing their fucking job.
To be fair, can you think of anything that would qualify as "one great thing" that doesn't fall under the purview of "doing their job"?
Like, I don't think the expectation is that he would have run into a burning building to save some starving orphans?
Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Fuck Haley, but she is right about the nursing home part. But there is a fix that Americans don't want to admit - their voting - or LACK OF voting - is what is keeping these elderly Senators in office. Of course she is an opportunist twat that is only saying this to try to hit at Biden indirectly by bringing up the age issue.
Damn if she's not right about that.
She is but I can't help but think she has unstated motives for saying it.

She's not wrong, she's just an asshole
Politician reads the room and adopts the most lukewarm, obvious, low-hanging-fruit take in an effort to score free publicity. Damn, really raising the bar here.
I actually hate Nikki Haley. Her policies, ideas, and alignment are all wrong. But she is somehow self-aware enough to realize that a bunch of old people are running our country right now, and how detrimental that is.
Her miscalculation is that she believes young voters will refill the GOP coffers with people as crazy as she is. Won't happen.
A heartbreaking story is currently unfolding that’s sure to have devastating ramifications for years to come. Just moments ago, without any warning, the worst person you know just made a great point.

100%. We need age and term limits for all elected offices.
We don't want a Senate with 60 Ted Cruz's. I agree with the other guy. Money reform first. Then we can consider age and term limits.
Abolishing the senate is the right reform for the senate.
I guess the question is: what problem are you trying to solve by instituting age limits and term limits?
If the issue is the advantage of incumbency and having entrenched politicians with large campaign funding operations behind them, then maybe a better way of solving this would be campaign finance reform that prevents private dollar donations from non-individuals and heavy restrictions on how much an individual can contribute.
All that term limits and age limits in Congress would achieve is setting an artificial barrier for those who do the job well while setting up a new group of people to benefit from the legislature's dysfunction.
Wouldn't it be easier to "get your guy" in if they pushed rotate people through the Senate. Its not like either situation is good. But I don't trust Nikki for shit. I still think she's a stooge
Haley said on Fox News that the Kentucky senator has “done some great things, and he deserves credit,”
Examples?
For one, he destroyed the legitimacy of the federal judiciary & supreme court. Which is terrible, but great. Like Voldemort.
Who cares what this monster says? Yall want federal abortion bans, lgbt bans, more environmental damage and worse access to medicare?
"Absolutely devastating, the worse person you know just made a great point."
She's terrible, but she doesn't crack the top 100 worst American politicians. Her point is accurate, though.
This is due to the rules of the Senate which state that committee seniority is given to the longest serving members. Both sides keep people in office as long as possible to secure these important positions.
Wow that huge bigot finally said something good. Let’s see where she is at 80.
Of course, attacking McConnell's health was part of the game plan. She's not wrong though.
