Baby boomers Ruined America: Why Blaming Millennials is Misguided — and Annoying

[tabbycat31]

117. Most of the GOP frontrunners are Gen X

Chris Christie, Bobby Jindal, Paul Ryan, Scott Walker, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Rand Paul. Even throw Sarah Palin into that mix.

The only non boomer Dem candidates I see are Julian Castro (IMO more likely to be selected as VP than throw his hat into the race) and Martin O'Malley (1963). Andrew Cuomo is a late boomer (1957) and could throw himself in if Hillary does not.

Of the Democrats in the senate born after 1960, the only two I see aspiring to higher office are Kirsten Gillibrand and Cory Booker. Of the current governors, there are no rising stars within the party. Is the next Barack Obama (who in 2003 was a little known state senator) out there in a statehouse? Perhaps, but we need to find him/her and get him/her running for a statewide office.

As for me running, that depends where my career will take me over the next two years. It's also an unpaid position. Me running for anything higher than council is out until at least 2021 (if I don't move) because I'm in state legislative and congressional districts gerrymandered for Republicans and don't want to be a sacrificial lamb. I've been asked to run for mayor before but I turned it down.
