The bench for the Democratic Party was cleaned out in the elections of 2010 and 2014.

Democrats are not the party of old people. Kind of funny. The old people in the democrat party who have old 1950’s ideas are being called the Progressives by the press. Is this the opposite day?

Because they are confident that their nominee will win.

Democrats are increasingly not allowed onto the field. Time is on our side. The same age comparison can be made for RINO vs. Tea.

The problem with your map is;
The population centers and electoral votes are mostly the blue areas.

It is a long term result of the Democratic party marching in lock step doing their best imitation of the brown shirts in Nazi Germany. No dissent or variance of opinion is allowed in their party. One must be ideologically pure and blessed by their sycophants in the corporate media. Their old communist 1960’s romanticized leaders will not get out of the way for anyone. These people think it is their birth rite to never leave office (just look at Pelosi and Reed).

Somehow, irregardless of these old hippies that would make Stalin proud, they keep claiming they are the saviors of America while continuing their obsession to destroy it and reform it in their own image. I keep hoping they will retire or the Democratic party will get sick of being knocked down to 1920’s level of power and final do an internal house cleaning similar to what the Republicans are going through. In my opinion, term limits would go a long way to prying the power out of life time politician’s hands and help diffuse the consolidation of power that the oligarchs hold over the political class in modern times.

Not in Pennsylvania. Allegheny county has been losing population for decades and the surrounding counties are now much larger. If you had said the Blue areas are filled with massive voter fraud, I would agree. At least that would be true in Pennsylvania.

"Why is the 2016 Democratic field so old?"

The Cintons are still trying to build America that "bridge to the future." However, thanks to the clintons, obama and the regressive liberals, that bridge ends in a grave.

.... The old farts will be trotted out first before the media .... in an attempt to expend the Republican nominee fields money as much as possible ..... then a younger Democrat contender candidate will come out from behind and sweep the Democrat field.

.... OK ... just my two cents worth ... but at this point .... Hillary and the senior contingent really do look like joke candidates.

Yes, decidedly so. That’s why they are so for dumping the electoral college in favor of a popular vote. Nothing like the interests of a bunch urban denizens, coastal entitlement raiders, and resource depleting liberals in tight places trumping over the real richness and diversity of this country in all its geographical expanse.

When humans, animals - most anything - are lumped and confined together it is all the more easy for disease to spread rampantly. I maintain this is so for political ideology as well.

Or the fact the Democratic Party knows Julian and Joaquin Castro aren’t ready until 2020.

The Dhimmicraps have no bench. It got wiped out.
