Just how desperate are the Democrats about their empty bench? This desperate!

By Thomas Lifson January 23, 2017

The conventional quantitative measure of the fall of the Democrats – over a thousand elective officials defeated by the GOP in the eight Obama years – doesn’t fully capture the seriousness of the problems the party faces.

The party is in the hands of ancient leaders: Nancy Pelosi is 76 years old, Chuck Schumer is 66, and Hillary Clinton is 69. Bernie Sanders, the only Democrat to ignite genuine enthusiasm in the grassroots, is 75. Add four years to each, and you get the ages these leaders will be the next time the country inaugurates a new president.

So what are the Dems to do?.....But the Democrats, despite their pretensions of being the party of the people, love dynasties........While I relish the thought of Caroline Kennedy engaging in an ugly intra-party struggle.........I'm afraid she is not presidential material despite her last name. She dropped her previous bid for the Senate when her inability to string together words without “ya know” liberally sprinkled throughout became painfully self-evident.........To Read More...

My Take - Unlike Hillary she has no baggage?  Really?  The Kennedy's leave a lot to be desired and will not be able to capture the nation's interest, for a lot of reasons.  But history is can be ugly.  We now know Camelot really was a myth, and none of the Kennedy's were as great as everyone thought, and both JFK and RFK were trash.  Neither of them were nearly as bright as they, or their tumpeteers in the media, thought they were, and still do.   With the exception of young Joe Kennedy who died a hero in WWII - all the Kennedy men were a disgrace  from old Joe to they youngest Teddy, who was a drunken murderer -  and that's the baggage they all carry - and her cousins have done nothing to make it any better.  As for her cousin Robert  - RFK's son - is nuts!
