By the numbers: Sen. Bernie Sanders, 77 (five years older than President Trump, a spry 72), jumped into the race yesterday. And Sen. Elizabeth Warren, 69, was one of this cycle's first to announce. For some in the party, former Vice President Joe Biden, 76, is the savior.

Why it matters: Despite that lineup, today's Democratic Party is actually dominated by youthful energy.

That's clear from all the young House members in the 2018 midterms, the activists pushing lawmakers farther to the left, and the fact that millennials are Democrats' strongest age group.

i'm kinda hoping that AOC will sweep the primaries :)

The Establishment would never let that happen.

But it would be interesting: If by some wild chance she became president in 2020 would she not really be a prime target for removal from office due to being unfit?

None of these old farts will be the Democratic presidential nominee in 2020. The Democrats will nominate either Kamala Harris or Gavin Newsom. Trump won in 2016 because he garned JUST enough white votes to offset the massive support the Democrats get from Black an Latino voters. The Democrats know this. They will nominate a younger more progressive candidate that can pull enough white millennial votes. The GOP was able to hold off the white millennial votes in 2016. Can Trump do it again in 2020? We shall see.

Maybe the Dems are hoping one of their old white Presidential candidates will die in office to let a younger Vice President (who couldn't be elected as President) become President?
