Are you older? I notice some older ones close their eyes to the reality of new demographics.

We can win, but your “people” comment is something out of the 80s.

We need overshelming numbers of white me to vote like never before.

But stay in the past if you feel good there.

With all due respect, the demographics is away from broadcast TV as for the younger crowd goes and the broadcast networks recognize it but are stuck in their past templates. The demographics show unless you are poking away at a smart phone keyboard to communicate, you are not in touch with them.

Reasonable older crowds have left the networks many moons ago for the obvious reasons with the overall demographics totally changing the ways they attain their news and at what time instead of the boiler-plate 6:00 local and 6:30 national. All are in a continual downward spiral to include the newspapers.

The left recognizes that and they are trying desperately to get the networks to move accordingly but as any corporate structure it is a slow move.

Then comes telephone polls. More and more people are going wireless and cutting the cord. In so, most no longer need to get up to answer the phone. They can just see who or what number is calling and then decide to let them go to voicemail or not.

So, to say that anyone knows what the landscape is today is doing nothing more than wishful thinking or looking at dusty paintings on a wall. All we can go on is morsels of information and one of those is that new independent voters are coming out of the woodwork like never before. One hard data set is the simple fact that those voting in the primaries are up over 60% for Republicans and down over 30% for Democrats even with the Burn crowd.

So, with that, give the guy some slack on his comments because I feel the simple truth lies somewhere in between and with that, advantage Trump.

Reading some of your comments for the past few months I got the impression you are younger than me, perhaps much younger. That is my inspiration, you might only be one person, and there's not much one person can do. But it's a start.

“Older” than what?

Old enough to know how a silent majority can drive things, whippersnapper.

Now get off our fucking lawn.

Congratulations. You've won the unconscionable jackass award for 2016. Unless you actually are a freshman in High School who just finished your first psych class, your first poli sci class, and are currently drinking your first beer.
