So by 2024--well you do the math.

Anyone thinking a bunch of millennials will vote for the princess is living in a dream world.
No, they won't. Millennials are completely turned off by Trump's Nationalism. They see the world as all connected and are globalists. His whole "America First" North Korean chant is just an anathema to them.

They are 10 year old boy scouts and have no idea what they are cheering for. If my Westie did tricks on stage they would cheer too.

That's an old adage, but it's not supported by statistical research. On a generational basis, political affiliation is determined by the politics of the era when a person reaches voting age and remains distinct as we age.

Quote:
On an individual level, of course, many people’s political views evolve over the course of their lives. But academic research indicates not only that generations have distinct political identities, but that most people’s basic outlooks and orientations are set fairly early on in life. As one famous longitudinal study of Bennington College women put it, “through late childhood and early adolescence, attitudes are relatively malleable…with the potential for dramatic change possible in late adolescence or early adulthood. [b]ut greater stability sets in at some early point, and attitudes tend to be increasingly persistent as people age.”
The politics of American generations: How age affects attitudes and voting behavior | Pew Research Center

Also, there's the racial factor. Each living American generation is more diverse than the one preceding it. Today's kids, are likely the last generation in which a majority are non/Hispanic whites. Unless the GOP can finally overcome its over dependence on n/h white voters, you have to consider that impact on future voting.

Race of Americans over age 55: 75% n/h white
Age 35/54: 61.5% n/h white
18-34: 55.8% n/h white
Under 18: 51.5%

These are the values of an authoritarian narcissist who can extol only himself and seeks only his only self-aggrandizement and self enrichment through openly illegal activities in the highest office of the land.





Most women hold Ivanka Trump in contempt. She's a rich little Daddy's girl who would be nothing except for the accident of birth. And grit? Surely, you jest. If that woman had to go through the things that most ordinary women do everyday, she be a whimpering shadow hidden in a corner. I'd like to see just what she'd do if she suddenly found herself stripped of all her wealth and was forced to stand on her own two feet. She'd fall over, that's what. She may be your heart's desire, but don't think for a moment that the majority of American women are as foolish as male Trump supporters.
Okay I'll give you clean, that's fair, but why would a man want to be cheerful, courteous and obedient?
That is the recipe for a loser.
People will walk all over and use a man that is so eager to please.

I think Ivanka has faced more hatred (aimed at her family overall) than any woman in America.
She appears to be mentally unbeatable.....and I'd think the female race would admire that because so often women are stereotyped as being too emotional.

The valid complaints about her exploiting women in other countries is not hatred.
Nor are the valid observations that she has been gifted her place at the table.

And to ignore the treatment that Hillary Clinton or Michelle Obama have received is to have been born yesterday.



Does anyone else find it fascinating that "the female race," oft castigated for favoring Hillary Clinton for the simple reason that she is a woman, would now be commended for wanting to support Ivanka because she is female?

There really is no hypocritical boundary that 45's cultists will not breach.

Wow, you REALLY want to continue with the political dynasties?

I got nothing against Ivanka. She's beautiful, smart, and has a hell of a lot more poise than the current pres. And she's been a Dem all her life until her dad got into politics... so I'll let you decide where her true values lie. But another multigenerational political family? No no no no. What next, Chelsea? Maybe Ivanka passes the baton to Eric next, then little Barron gets his turn in 40 years? Oh lordy no.

If Ivanka has presidential aspirations I have some great ideas for her VP, Kim Kardashian, how about J-Zee as heath and human services, the Queen B can be appointed to a ambassador to UN. Kid Rock security council. DT has some empty spots right now maybe he can use some of these.

Maybe these suggestions are inappropriate but could we be any worse off than we are now. I am sure others have more interesting and entertaining ideas.

I was about to suggest Bieber for something but I forgot he is Canadian.
