This is so frustratingly idiotic

They don't even articulate who they want to primary, or what metrics they might use. Is it going to be by policy, action, other? Who even defines what "old" is w/respect to Congress--where 50 is still considered spry? Does it include middle-aged reps like Crockett at 44?

How do we know who is on the Hogg Hit List? It could be fucking anyone. Even Jeffries for all we know.
