Blaming "the media" & Bill Kristol for the Democratic Party's failure to have a slate of younger, more vigorous candidates lined up months ago does no good.

It may feel great to rant, but Bill told us months ago that Joe probably wasn't the best one to take on Trump again. We all (including me) just ignored him, because he used to be a Republican.
But maybe Bill Kristol had taken the time to look up all 23 sitting Democratic Governors - some so popular that they're in their second terms! And some are governing in "must-win" states, like Mich, Pa & Wisc. Bill probably saw some great potential that the rest of us missed. That's on us & the Democratic Party, not Bill or the media.
I can honestly tell you that I had never heard of Jimmy Carter, the Governor of Georgia, or William Clinton, the young Governor of Arkansas, before either man threw his hat in the ring.
gotta say that as great as he has been as gov in wisconsin - not sure anyone would call Gov Tony Evers charismatic :) so I don't think he would carry the rest of the country in a presidential contest.

Kristol is still a Republican and his wanting two people on a Dem ticket that meet his criteria isn't going to happen.
Let him clean up his own party.
