Democrats have no bench and no diversity

[Newt]

Interesting.

Contrast that with the Democratic field for president:
•Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
•Former Gov. Martin O'Malley (D-Md.)
•Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.)
•Former Sen. Jim Webb (D-Va.)

All white. Three males. One female. One candidate in his 70s, two in their 60s and one in his 50s.

Not much diversity there.

Where is the Democratic bench? Answer: It has been decimated in the Age of Obama.


Since Barack Obama won the presidency, 16 Democratic Senate seats have been won by Republicans. Eleven Democratic governors' offices switched to the GOP in 2010 and three followed in 2014.
Who runs for president? Primarily, governors and senators.

The Democratic Party has no bench.

Liberals are pining for first-term Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) to listen to their pleas and enter the race. To date, she has resisted the pressure of endorsing Clinton. She isn't running.

Who else is there?

Vice President Biden? He's 72 years old and a punchline.

Former Vice President Gore? He is amassing a $200 million fortune, mostly from Al Jazeera, which is owned by the emir of Qatar.

There are no other credible Democratic names, which is remarkable given the political logjam of eight years of President Obama, the leader of the country and the leader of the Democratic Party.

The simple truth is that Obama's record has been politically toxic for congressional Democrats and he has not been interested in building up the Democratic Party.

All the DEMs have is a message of divisiveness. They attract radical fringe one-issue fanatics, power mad incompetents, elite hippies in need of a cause, immature teenagers with a homecoming court mentality, and ignorant parasites,

There is not an accomplished individual amongst them. Hasn't been one in 50 years.
