Right now, we stand in a good position. We have in office a pretty popular and successful two term President; we stand a good chance of winning next year as well, holding office for at least 12 years.
However, look at that Democratic Debate podium. The main stars in the party are elderly people, and the younger people like O'Malley and the Castros are no-names. The moderate wing is rapidly disappearing, as well. The only liberal voices are those of Sanders and Warren, one who is old and the other a middle aged woman who has no desire for the Presidency.
Now, look at the GOP. Right now, they're where they were in 1964. Divided, tugged far to the right, too far to win. But, they do have some moderate voices who might emerge in 2020 as potential big names like Rubio and Jindal, for instance. They have a lot of young minds and voices for Conservatism as well.
Long term, does the Democratic Party face an issue of lacking fresher faces and younger voices?
