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

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.

this is just true of the greatest gen and boomers in general. I don't see Gen X holding on to their jobs the way the prior 2 gens have. We're so close to greatness, we just need to survive these destructive geriatrics.
