Hillary Clinton Might Be Only Dem Under 70 Running for President

Don’t worry, they have great new ideas for the future. Okay mostly they’re the same ideas from the Woodrow Wilson administration, but they threw in a lot of stuff about solar power and sustainability.
In addition to Clinton, the 2016 Democratic field could include: California governor Jerry Brown, Vice President Joe Biden (the presumed frontrunner), and Socialist Senator Bernie Sanders.
In such a scenario, Brown would be the oldest Democrat in the race; he’ll be 78 in 2016. Biden will be 73. Sanders will be 75. Hillary, who will be 69 on Election Day, would be younger by comparison. If Elizabeth Warren decides to run, she would be the youngest Democrat, thought not by much. Warren will be 67 in 2016.
Warren seems like she won’t run unless Hillary Clinton screws up even more egregiously than she has so far. The Pride of the Cherokee is saving herself for 2020 or maybe 2024, when the Democratic Party will really need fresh new ideas from Das Kapital.
So that leaves Jerry Brown, who inherited the rule of the Mexican Protectorate of California from his father, Bernie Sanders, who occasionally knows what year it is, though usually not what century, and Joe Biden, whose brain was removed to make way for his new hair.
Behold the party of tomorrow.
