13. I don't get why people think this is good news.

Sherrod Brown is 72. He was retired by the election and needs to stay in retirement.

Younger people can do the job. There are younger people who are just as pro union as Brown. Let them do the job.

Democrats have a huge problem if he is the best choice. That means Sherrod has squandered his time as a senator and did not build up the bench of Democrats coming behind him.

What a narcissistic and fuck up thing to do.
