No doubt the two nominees are certain that they are the most qualified public policy leader to guide the country and that they, more than anyone else, are best able to manage a nation of 335 million people. They seem to think that younger leaders are not capable enough. Their ego tells them so — and that’s a loud voice in their ear.
Just because we are living longer with better medical care and healthier lifestyles doesn’t give us the right to extend our leadership past its expiration date. And that date should not be based on whether we can still give a speech, make a decision, convene a meeting or proclaim an unfinished agenda, but on whether younger people are ready to lead and deserve the chance.
