Ever since their shock defeat in November 2016, Democrats have sought comfort in the age-old proverb that “our kids are our future”. After all, Hillary Clinton decisively won the youth vote, with 55% of millennials voting for her, while Donald Trump could not muster more than one-third. So does that mean the future is looking rosy?
In the past few months, the liberal media has seen hope in America’s youth. A AP-Norc/MTV Youth Political Pulse poll found that only a minority (33%) of young Americans approve of the way Trump is handling his job of president, while the majority believe that the president is “mentally unfit” (60%), “generally dishonest” (62%) or “a racist” (63%). In line of these findings, Vox triumphantly headlined: “The kids are not all right with Donald Trump.”
Similarly, a Pew Research Center study of the “generational gap in American politics” was met with hopeful coverage. It found, among other things, that millennials have by far the most negative views of Trump, having tumbled from a 64% job approval rating for President Obama in 2009-2010 to a dismal 27% approval of Trump in 2017-2018.

Why? The latest poll shows the DEMs still up +4. Seems like they can get away with any nonsense they want, and the public won’t care enough to eject them this November.
Paycheck is a great education.
A nephew of mine was shocked to see how much of his pay on the first job went to taxes and health insurance. He said he had to redo his personal finance budget assumptions.
We all learn such lessons.
The Democrat Platform:
Absolute obedience to Large Organized Unions — the more monolithic the better.
Subservience to Professors from large universities.
Illegal Aliens and Pedophiles have become their new Mascots and Blacks better just sit back and do what they are told.
Abortion is a Sacrament of Liberty
Christians of all denominations are backward and oppressive of others.
Guns are bad, mookay?
It sure sounds inspirational to me.
“He said he had to redo his personal finance budget assumptions.”
I know a couple of people who first did their taxes or supposed to file taxes for the first time. One of them loves to soup up his ricer for local races. After he filed and HAD to pay the feds a big chunk of money, (no refund) he also did a budget chart afterwards. It was “I keep this $$” and I think he had a mentality 15% goes to govt so he was very aware afterwards..
What pollsters are they, the same ones that showed Hillary with an 87% chance of a landslide victory in 2016?
If Democrats are losing votes, they certainly do NOT need to change message. Losing votes and subsequently political power is perhaps the greatest blessing they can bestow on the people of this great nation, short of taking the red pill and renouncing their party.
