1. Polls show that young people are finding race and sexual orientation less important than than previous generations. Those are really old people's problems.

Don't tell me it's always been that way. I know. But Conservatives are masters of the systematic, methodical, long game. They discouraged, disenfranchised, jerry-rigged and wrapped up the country and put a bow on it. They don't need the presidency: (1) the status quo suits them just fine, and (2) they've had 2 Democratic presidents carry their water, anyway, with a 3rd waiting in the wings in Hillary.
I hope I live to see the day we split up into the 2 distinct cultures we are.
