Correct your misspelling. It's DISSENT, not DECENT.
We’re talking about people who get their news from Jon Stewart and John Oliver here.
Love it!
Perhaps we should start referring to them as the “Blue Pill” generation.
Next time they’ll be facing an incumbent, so they’ll be at a bigger disadvantage. The millenials did turn out for Hillary in the end too; young people and minorities were her only reliable voting blocs.Millenials still don’t get it, and I doubt most of them ever will.Trump won because Millenials sat this one out. They could not stand Hillary, and the WikiLeaks about how Bernie got scroooood were the kiss of death for her.
But they would not vote for Trump either, having consumed the Kool-Aid that doing so made you a racist.
Next time the Dems will run a younger, more vigorous version of Bernie and they’ll clean-up. - Buckeye McFrog
Another factor will be that the Democrats have a thin bench; their ranks have been decimated down-ballot. ‘Course Obama had no credentials besides his race and his (D), and that didn’t stop him. But as you say, incumbency will be a significant factor. And as with Reagan, Trump is following an economically destructive Democrat - and if he is fairly competent he will seem like a genius. He also has the advantage over Reagan, not only of having majorities in SCOTUS and the House as well as the Senate. And with a little early success, he stands to pick up a serious increase in the Republican margin in the Senate since out of 32 seats up in ’16, the pubs have only 8 incumbents to defend. Whereas the Dems will have 24 incumbents to defend - ten in red states.Trump stands to have little trouble defending his SCOTUS pick - (or picks, if Ginzberg, Kennedy, or Breyer leave the bench) because he published his short list before the election and it was not an issue in the election. Bit late if the Democrats in a Senate minority try to make it an issue after the election is over. Trump could even actually ask for advice from the Senate - something no president has ever really done - about who to select from his predefined list.
I'm seeing a large number of people clambering for Moochelle to run. They just gush over how she would be the best president ever. There is no end to their stupidity.
You mean “too long”. Or were you addressing somebody named Long?
I suspect 1980 did not look much different. The 18-25 year olds generally don’t vote but those that do, vote for democrats. Having a full time job, paying a mortgage and taxes, getting married, and having kids tends to change the thinking.
Well by now we know how to spell dissent.
That is a great video, very amusing!
