Does the threat of that seem to matter much to me or the conservatives in general? The millenniels are grown up and becoming adults and accepting responsibilities (marriage, home ownership, careers and raising kids) associated with adults and making their own ( adult like) decisions these days. I was pretty impressed on election day. My daughter came home from school and told me about all the Trump kids who showed with their faces painted with Trump, wearing good old American red-white-blue, without any concerns or fears about retaliation from blues because they knew that the had full support from their parents and their more traditional Democratic friends whose parents could not stomach the idea of voting for crooked Hilary and weren't sure if they could trust Trump because Trump was a Republican. Blue America has no core values that bind people together. You have shown me that time and time again during our exchanges. Yet, you don't understand what's wrong, why you're rejected, why you're not being understood, why are we loosing on all major issues and all major fronts, why people aren't buying in the way you (we) feel they should and so forth.
Now that we know what President Donald Judas Trump is...
Need I show you maps of approval of President Trump? I can easily see him losing at least as badly as the elder Bush in 1992 because his ideas are already stale and irrelevant. It will be very difficult for him to win enough new voters to offset the newly-disappointed people who gave him a chance in 2016 and won't again.
