(4,533 posts)The youngest 40% of those eligible to vote favor Dems by almost two to one, a huge unprecedented mismatch. Pew tracking shows they are not getting more conservative with age. That tidal wave will soon drown the Republican Party. It will cease to be a national political party. Trump is fifty fifty to be re-elected but he will be followed by Republican ruin. I saw this before. California Governor Pete Wilson, behind for re-election adopted a horrible strategy, demeaning the undocumented. He ran TV ads showing them crossing a highway into California like roaches scurrying when you turn the kitchen light on (for those who like me lived in east coast cities before coming to California). National Republican wise men begged him to not do that. Because they knew it would end up killing the Republicans.It worked for Wilson. But it was the death of Republicans in CA. The new electorate hates Republicans in the big California populations. Now we see it nationally. Trump will destroy the national Republican Party. In 20 years his grandchildren will be in court houses petitioning to legally change their last names.
