Who are the rising Democratic stars

[DonCoquixote]

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.

1. Well I don't know about congressional level,I live in a very red state, but nationally Kamala

Harris, Julian and Joaquin Castro, Cory Booker, the Kwame guy who filled Obama's seat and Jimm Carter's grandson Jason. Sorry, that's all I've got.

2. Who's on the bench?

Uhm. Ah.

Here's why the Fairness Doctrine is so important: The media would have provided an opportunity for someone other than pukes to open their pieholes on the tee vee.

3. Donna Edwards seems impressive.

Especially since Chris Van Hollen seems like another milquetoast, middle of the road, Dem.
