If you think TRUMP is the best the Boomers can produce your brain is well and truly twisted outside the bounds of reality. Senators Franken, Klobuchar, and Warren would all make great presidents.

I have very low expectations of the Boomers in general and the idiots you recommend would turn the US into Venezuela given the chance.  By that standard then Trump may very well be the best option out a set of bad choices.  Aren't fourth turnings fun?

If you see Donald Trump as in any way better than Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, or even Dubya, then you are ideologically blinded. Should there be a libertarian utopia emerging, then such will be the work of a Boomer. Note that I consider libertarianism utopian.

The Crisis is practically over when Idealists either get tossed out on their derrieres or leave in triumph. Seeing Donald Trump as the last act of Boomers in top leadership is premature. There will be plenty of 60-something Boomers available for the Presidency in 2020. May America choose one not as sexually-perverse as Bill Clinton or Donald Trump or as inattentive than Dubya. We need  some huge reforms just to deal with the economic reality of the demise of manufacturing and energy-production as driving forces of the economy.

I'd like to see America transformed into something more like a Scandinavian country (except for an ethnic mix more like that of Brazil) than like some caudillo-plagued regime like Venezuela under Chavez or a right-wing version of Castro's Cuba.
