    Should they have to register or just burn some stuff?

    Ted Cruz, Texas Republicans mock blue wave from Democrats...

    Ted Cruz: Results puncture ‘narrative that a lot of folks’ want to tell

    Republicans say the results in this week’s primary in Texas raise serious doubts about the blue wave that Democrats are counting in the November midterm elections.

    While Democratic turnout was high, so was GOP turnout on Tuesday, giving the party confidence that its troops have not been demoralized.
    “We kept hearing about this unprecedented Democrat turnout in Texas and the Republicans showed up in droves yesterday,” said RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel.

    The primaries — the first in the nation ahead of November’s general election — set up a number of fascinating races.
    Sen. Ted Cruz, a Republican, easily won his primary, capturing 1.3 million of the 1.5 million votes cast. That’s double the number of votes won in the Democratic primary by Rep. Beto O’Rourke, who will be his opponent.

    I think you grossly underestimate the disgust millennials have for the Democrat Party establishment. Of course, the Republican base has the same disgust for several establishment Republicans running for re-election too. I suppose we'll see this November who's hypocrisy runs the deepest.

    I think you grossly underestimate the disgust that millennials and post-millennials have for Trump and the GOP.

    The huge increase in Dem turnout we have seen so far in the midterm is not because they are excited to vote Dem.

    You know, as true as that might be, baby boomers are even more poorly equipped to make it today. They are not very adaptable, particularly as it comes to technology. Instead of embracing change they fight against it. They see it as a problem with the world rather than recognizing their own personal shortcomings.

    Not at all true, rather that's the way YOU see the world.

    Now find me a Google link that backs up your ridiculous assumption.

    It's difficult to find anybody under 40 who thinks getting to work on time is important. Is self discipline a problem baby boomers need to let go?

    All of my grandparents and their friends are more than capable operating technology. Of course many of them were intelligent La Tech grads in Engineering.

    Most of them have easily made the adjustments to technology because they know that is their way to communicate with kids and grandkids.

    Great example, and thanks for demonstrating my point. Last two generations value flexibility to pay and commitment.

    It would seem they value staying in school so they never have to work or playing video games. Myself excluded. However, they will gripe for higher pay despite lesser or flat production. Many I have come across will pass on a starting job because it doesn’t pay them $60,000 out of the gate. Just stay at home with mom and dad and work for Starbucks until the dream job magically materializes.

    Yep, as long as someone (parents) are financing it.

    This is why socialism appears to be a viable option to them. They only know the value of consuming and not hard work and commitment, but they expect others to handle that for them and break them off a "fair" piece of cheese so they can be comfortable.

    I am going to make sure I spend most of my 401 K (or get it hidden from view) before they vote to come for it when they start discovering the old fogies are dying off and they cannot continue to consume as before. Unfortunately I taught my children to work hard and support themselves, so they will likely be living in a world where they are expected to give their fair share to those that won't.

    It shouldn't take long for the socialists to destroy the wealth of America. Hey, it's their world then.

    What I've found is that they value sleeping in and expect to get paid to do that.

    "The median amount of retirement savings reported by Gen Xers is $69,000, which won't come anywhere close to funding an adequate retirement. More than half (52 percent) guess at their retirement savings needs, and often they guess too low. The median amount of savings that Gen Xers reported they'd need is $500,000."

    Uh oh. Maybe we offered that common core math too late. $500,000 in savings with no pension and maybe $24,000 a year in SS comes to about $50,000 a year for 20 years (assuming they live to age 85) in today's dollars.

    When they realize this, they'll vote to take the money from the "other guy" who unfairly went to work and saved for his/her retirement, because that is only "fair".
