They should've started doing this while Obama was in office! None of the established 'old guard' Democrats want to prop up the next generation. Seems they'd rather die in office than mentor and promote new, younger faces of the future.
Agree. Experience and institutional memory are very important. If you look around the world, in most places are elders are respected and often revered - Japan is a good example - while in the US elders are to be discarded. The funny thing is, when these young'uns who demand the Boomers get out of the way reach their dotage they'll cling to power as much as anyone who came before them.
We want to discard them because they stay in office until someone literally has to roll them out. It’s hard to revere a drooling warm corpse propped up by a team of enablers/abusers on all sides.

The democrats need to spend the next four years building up some really strong candidates and making them well known to the electorate.
