I agree that Dems win with ....Younger Candidates.
FACTS:
Every Dem President Actually elected since Kennedy... was under the age of 54.
Every Rep President Actually elected since Kennedy... was older than 54.
..... All things Considered- A Dem candidate in 2020 under 54... would be a pretty good start. (Also, In general, younger Candidates tend to do a better job turning out the Youth Vote... which tends to be overwhelmingly Dem)
LBJ was over 54 in 1964 and won. George McGovern was under 54 and lost. Al Gore was under 54 and lost. The GOP has nominated quite a few older candidates that were roundly defeated (Dole, McCain, Romney, etc.)
Bernie Sanders and Ron Paul were both quite popular with the youth and they were old.
I think the age thing is much more of a coincidence than anything.
