Nope. People, and in particular, millennials, are clamoring for a leader, someone who doesn’t mince words. So many of them watched Trump as the undisputed authority on his TV show and grew to admire him for his strong leadership. From a marketing standpoint, he created a brand for himself that is consistent with his conduct in is campaign and people already know it and love it. The rest of the status-quo lightweights are conducting themselves as metrosexually as possible and here’s this guy, not afraid to speak his mind, state his views and fight back.
The great Gen. Patton was spot on when he said that “...traditionally, Americans love to fight. All real Americans love the sting of battle... Americans love a winner and will not tolerate a loser!” Which status-quo republican candidate is posturing themselves as a winner? NONE! They’re simply echoing the PC mantra and political speak of a withering generation. I think the Don is articulating the frustration people have been forced to stuff regarding PC, the freedom to speak one’s mind and to call out BS when it’s flailing in your face.
Given the rate at which traditions and conventional thinking are being superseded these days, Trump running as a third party candidate might suit millennials on both sides of the spectrum very well. This coming-of-age and influential demographic are highly open to change. And, people inside and outside of that demographic are sick of ineffectual democrats and republicans. Trump’s third party run, should it come to pass may be the next evolutionary step in American politics and the highly dysfunctional (and traitorous!) republican party could go the way of the dinosaur. And we still preserve the two party system. Death to the RINOsaurs!
White millennials vote very much like their parents.
In 2012, white voters (age 18-29) voted 51% for Romney, and about 5% for the Libertarian candidate.
In 2012, non-white voters (age 18-29) voted almost 80% for Obama.
Each year, the “youth” vote becomes less white - and more Socialist.
In 2012, voters in the age 18-29 group were roughly 50-50, white to non-white.
In case you haven't noticed, the overwhelming majority of non-white young Americans are “clamoring” for a country that is Socialist and Pacifist.
