Their Generation

The kids are rebelling:

Brett Cooper, who hosts “The Brett Cooper Show,” believes that many people of her generation believe that the Democrat Party no longer reflects their values. “Democrats are completely out of touch with their voter base,” she said during an appearance on “Fox & Friends.” “They are aging out. We do not want them in Congress anymore on the left and the right.” She highlighted the aging Senators and representatives, including Sen. Dick Durbin who announced his retirement last week, as examples. “You see members of Congress like Dick [Durbin] who are so old,” she said. “Young people feel unrepresented, and they are fed up.” .... A poll that was just released by the Harvard Kennedy School’s Institute of Politics backs her claims. The poll showed that approval of congressional Democrats among young voters cratered to 23 percent, down from 42 percent in early 2017. Republicans do slightly better with an approval of 29 percent, which is higher than in recent years among a demographic that does not traditionally vote Republican. President Donald Trump’s approval rating in the poll is at 31 percent, which is a virtual tie with his rating during his first term.

Democrats ignore the next generation at their own peril...
