Democrats: Gee--We Have A Lot Of Old Geezers In Our 2020 Field, Huh?

Okay—Democrats, you clinched some wins during the 2018 midterms. You retook the House of Representatives. You did let your red state coalition get wiped out, however, in the Senate, so nothing much is going to get done. With the Left jacked up, everyone looks to 2020. That cycle began the day after Election Day. When you look at the Democratic field for president, it’s sort of…old. Like ‘make sure grandpa doesn’t forget to take his back pills’ old. It’s worrying some folks within the Democratic strategist world—and these concerns were already in the air before voters went to the polls last Tuesday.
It's a question some Democrats are pondering as the 2020 presidential election inches closer: Can their party represent change when three of its top candidates are not only familiar faces, but people in their retirement years?
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (Mass.) will enter her 70s in June. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is 77. Former Vice President Joe Biden will turn 76 later this month.
Though the primaries are still a ways off, all three have emerged in early polls as favorites to be the 2020 Democratic nominee.
Some strategists say that might be a problem.
