I want to revive this so that we can discuss the generational mix of 2020. I see 2020 as basically a status-quo election except for the Presidency, with Donald Trump doing worse by roughly the margin of 1.6%, a crude guess that I have based on the replacement of Silent, Boom, and X voters over 55 dying off or succumbing to debility, with Millennial voters under 40 largely supplanting them. Voters over 50 (which will be relevant to 2024 because they will be 54 or older in 2024) will be, like voters 55+ in 2020, about 5% more R than D while voters under 40 (which will include Homeland voters to a significant extent) will be about 20% more D than R.
