We are supposed to trust Harvard polling.

I can tell you that this HOPE is what is causing the media infatuation with these babies like the camera hog and the punks walking out of schools.

On the other hand, grown ups need to show up en masse and vote out the liberals.

Give the babies what they think they want and you'll see a destroyed nation.

"And when they do, it will be a wave favoring the Democrats,"

I surmise that the post-17th Amendment ratification, vote-winning, constitutionally non-enumerated “right” to have an abortion has hurt the Democrats more than it has hurt RINOs.

Corrections, insights welcome.

Millennials eh?

From September 2016:

“Young voters in this poll have low opinions of Trump; only 23 percent have a favorable opinion of him compared to 44 percent who view Clinton favorably.

Seventy-three percent see Trump as “racist,” 74 percent say they “would be scared” if Trump controlled nuclear codes, 70 percent said he is “unfit” to protect Americans and 25 percent think he “respects women.”

Furthermore, most respondents find some of Trump’s actions to be “very offensive,” including 72 percent of young adults who found “mocking a reporter’s disability,” an issue Clinton has highlighted in her campaign ads, offensive.”

How’d that turn out for Hilary?

Today would be a Good day to End the Filibuster and raise the Voting age to 25 and require a self sufficiency test to qualify.

Only Obama has gotten the youth vote energized. I don’t think it will happen during a midterm.

One of Nixon's biggest mistakes - Lowering the voting age to 18.

Not old enough to buy a gun.

Not old enough to get off mommy's and daddy's medical insurance.

But old enough to vote for democrats.

This story has been written over and over since the 1960s. If it were true, we’d have a Dem-dominated government already and the GOP be a small minority. And yet, as of now, we have more GOP officeholders than at any time since the 1920s. Why? Because the “youth” never vote. And many of them become conservative as they get older.

On The Other Hand, it must be admitted that the GOP, as a party, has stood for exactly nothing in their so-called platform planks during these kids entire lifetimes.

  1. Constitutionally limited government?
    NSA, CIA, TSA, ATF, FBI, DOE, etc.
  2. Accountability?
    The NSA's complete disregard of the 4th Amendment?
    The CIA's domestic operations?
    The TSA's complete disregard of the 4th Amendment?
    The ATF's complete disregard for the 2nd Amendment?
    The DOE's rather obvious indoctrination campaigns?
    The Iran Deal? The Clinton Foundation? The mishandling of classified information?
  3. Fiscal responsibility?
  4. Abortion?
  5. Border security?
Which of the above have the Republican party actually stood firm on?
The simple truth of the matter is that if the Republican party is functionally indistinct from the Democrat party, and at this point it really isn't distinct, then it does not deserve to exist as a separate party.

In a way, I hope the Demonrats do take over in November. It is time for the American people to see who they really are. It may take a bloody civil war to learn that painful set of lessons all over again. You know the Demonrats from Justice John Paul Stevens on down are just itching for such a bloodbath. Let it come in my time, I say, that my children may be free.

Meanwhile Hillary is in her second year of the Presidency, according to the polls.

They always do this and then they always fail to turn out in November.

Here’s hoping that global warming prevents the majority of them from being able to vote!

It’s not as if the GOP has given conservative kids (and there are a lot of them) any reason to vote for them. Still believe they are throwing the midterms to allow impeachment.

Maybe Republicans should put campaign ads on boxes of Tide pods.

Many people start off as leftists or ultra liberal in their late teens and early twenties -- when they have few responsibilities, fewer things they themselves have earned/worked for and they want to "get" quickly

This is true of youth throughout the ages - with no responsibility you want to get yours (even if you don't know what that is)

As people get families, jobs, things they have worked hard to get, they turn conservative and indeed are more responsible -- one can't constantly vote for government to give you money if you realize that ultimately YOU are giving gov money to hand out to you

I support raising the voting age to 25 and also putting in a clause that one gets the right to vote only after:

  1. Passing a citizenship test similar to what naturalized citizens have passed - in fact the exact same test
  2. Putting in 6 months or more of supporting your nation - military or natural disaster support or projects or whatever.

Voting is a privilege - a privilege to be given to those who earned it, not just by accident of birth

Remember 2006?

I do.

Depsite the conventional wisdom, the democrats won not because they were better, but rather that the RINOs in Congress weren’t conservatives, so conservative get-out-the-vote dwindled.

We’re here again.

They had a chance. They could have strongly supported Donald Trump and made wonderful things happen. And except for the Gorsuch appointment to SCOTUS and the Tax bill, they decided to obfuscate and oppose. The NEVER TRUMPERS are killing the GOP.

I will still vote, and I’ll vote straight Republican (or at least NEVER democrat) but I do not see enthusiasm for voting by conservatives like we had in 2010 and 2016.

I’m worried not about Millennials, but rather conservatives.

Half the Trump voters in Alabama stayed home and didn’t vote last December, when Roy Moore lost.

I’m worried about this happening coast-to-coast in November.

Here’s a link to the poll, which contains the methodology. Not a lot of info on that, however. Poll’s a hoot, though. Anyone who needs a laugh, or an emetic, should check it out...
