It still seems likely to me that Hillary will survive her email troubles, and neither Trump nor Sanders will be elected. Trump will turn people off more and more as the campaign proceeds. So why does Howe talk about Trump and Sanders? Presumably their campaigns and supporters will influence Hillary and the congress to some extent. I don't see more than continued gradual adjustment, and if Hillary can get some policies changed, inequality will diminish somewhat. I see nothing more than a mild recession in 2019, offset by a green energy boom. Howe mentions housing interests among millennials, and certainly affordable housing will be a big priority in blue states where housing prices are high. As millennials come into greater influence in the 2020s, more drastic reforms will likely be implemented, and many male members of Generation X and some boomers will resist them, trying to hang on to their wealth and their ideology. This is the outline of the most-likely conflict during the remaining 4T years.
