136 year to vote in a "Democrat" What? Congress, Senate, President, Governor, Mayor?

There have been a total of 10 Democratic Presidents elected since 1893 with Wilson serving 4 terms. As for the Congress and others, it has not been a purely Republican Congress or Senate for 136 years, if it had been there would be no reason to vote on bills, they would just pass everything that rolled across their desk. Not all Republican Congressmen and Senators are 136 years old or older, so there had to have been a lot of Democrats elected within the past 136 years.

Did you consider that there are also State Representatives and Senators? You need to be more explicit before you start doing political cartwheels.
