General Discussion

Hogg has shown that he simply does not have the temperament for such an important, high level, high visibility job. He has never won an elected office (much less RUN for one). He spends his time shitting on Democrats and blaming Democrats for every one of his medley of issue. Rather than attacking and laying the blame where it belongs and where it's deserved.

Feel free to chat all you want about age issues, new-guard vs old-guard, etc etc. That's a different argument and this isn't about that. It's foolish to allow someone like Hogg to be swept into a party leadership and "gifted" the role simply because a group of malcontents thing that the party is "too old" and that "youth will be our savior" (ie: loving youth for its own sake, with no regard to one's suitability, experience, demeanor, coalition building skills, listening skills, etc.) It's irresponsible to shield his shortcomings, inexperience and personality flaws by continually "blaming his youth" or accusing his detractors of not liking him simply because he's young.

No, that's not it at all. I don't like him because he's a jerk and an asshole. We don't need people with acidic personalities like that in party party leadership roles. We certainly do not need someone to be instantly elevated to such a lofty position IN SPITE of his shortcomings rather than because of anything worthy he brings to the table (aside from "youth" and little else).

Let him prove his mettle elsewhere. I'm sure his fan club and other acolytes would be delighted to help him to run for public office so that he can earn his stripes and prove his worth. He may discover that being a good leader involves more than just reciting a laundry list of complaints without offering any sort of realistic solutions. And burning it all down is not a solution.
