The democrats are becoming the party of senior citizens and no fresh faces.
Consider their possible candidates for POTUS in 2016 and their age at inauguration ( if theere to win ):
Hillary 68
Biden 74
Elizabeth Warren 67
Jim Webb 70
They’re old but they’re probably the smartest people in the Democratic Party today and that’s not saying much. These are the string pullers. The people who control the party agenda. The younger ranks are nothing but braindead followers who have been spoon fed leftist crap from the elders, and they’re not ready to run for national office yet.
I'm reminded of Andropov's Kremlin.
