Too Young? Too Inexperienced? Too Immature?

"Are we the country we say we are? Are we the country that holds certain truths to be self-evident, words which incidentally were written by a 33-year-old named Thomas Jefferson. You know, are we the country that judges people by the content of their character, not the color of their skin -- words that were written by Martin Luther King when he was about 34 years old." - John Kerry
This whole age/experience/maturity argument is beginning to wear thin. Thinner, I should say, since it was never much of an argument to begin with. Can Clinton supporters just give up with their BS arguments and just admit they want Billary in office because: a) they're more interested in having an identity in office (in this case of woman) than the best candidate, or b) they can't wait to settle the scores of the past (whether the battles of the 90s or the entire Boomer Culture War, or c) both.

The Clintons are tearing this party apart. It's hard and ugly to watch. If they win,
they win. The rest of us lose.
