Marco Rubio is an anxious public speaker, and Chris Christie is a narcissist, so no. Hilary is a corrupt career politician and I think we've had our fill of democrats for awhile.
Heres my list who whose values I consider close to my own and who would make great leaders for this country (no certain order)
Allen West
Sarah Palin
Michelle Bachmann
Ted Cruz
Ben Carson
These people will not be chosen, I know, but I can dream. Any two combination of those I consider my dream team.

Not really sure what you are basing your argument on here.
The Democrats do not lack young fresh faces, we simply have a sitting VP and a former Secretary of State who are front runners by a mile compared to the rest of the pack.

By many of us, I mean the public overall. What you are missing is: those old names have had their chance; they were not able to make it before because too many didn't agree with them, what makes you think they will have new ideas?
Your argument is flawed because you believe if a candidate has lost once, they will always lose, but the field is not the same, nor are the issues.
Hillary lost in 2008 not because her idea were stale, not because people disliked her, but because to many Barack Obama was a better candidate.
that same thing many not happen in 2016.
If what you had said was true, Mitt Romney would have never had a chance in 2012 after losing in 2008, John McCain would have never gotten the nomination in 2008 after losing in 2000, Al Gore in 1988 and so on.

That's plain funny.
Considering lefties despise old folks, why pick 2 completely over-the-hill seniors, both suffering from extreme memory loss?
In my ideal world where people would educate themselves on the issues facing this country I would love a President Ron Paul but I realize that has a slim chance of happening so I will accept what I consider the next best thing, Gary Johnson. Not sure who I would like as his running mate but I sure hope he runs and people wake up to the madness and insanity of the current failed 2 party system.
