This is not a primary question, as the 2016 elections have their players set up. What I am talking about is something a bit deeper: who are the next generation of Democratic stars ready for the national spotlight? If the next Democratic president wants to accomplish anything, we will need to take back Congress, which implies a fair amount of newer people. I am concerned because I do not see a lot of discussion for the next generation, which could cut off whatever momentum the next president would have.
