Secondly, there are issues with both of these people. Carville is no longer a credible source. He's become a joke to most people and he doesn't need to be the "face" of the Democratic party by any means.
Hogg is not yet seasoned enough to understand the big picture. I am SO sorry that he (and all of the others) endured the tragedy that occurred. But that alone does not prepare him for having expertise in politics. Give him ten years, and then get back to me.
The Democratic party needs a new "face". Someone strong, yet calm. Someone easy on the eyes. I know that's shallow, but hey, this is America, and it matters. Someone articulate and quick witted and smart. I'm not sure who that is yet, but there's got to be someone.
Pete Buttigieg has the most of these qualities in my opinion. But the bubbas - even the independent bubbas - aren't willing to accept anything that comes from a gay man. That's not my thinking, but it is reality.
We need that person NOW and that person needs to be on every network, every chance. They need to be at every official event where Trump doesn't show. They need to become "THE face". People need to become comfortable with that person, trust that person, and want to hear what that person has to say.
