Democrats Lose Ground with Millennials - Reuters/Ipsos poll

LOL...Trump is an extremist because he wants what's best for America? We see Trump as pragmatic...kasich is clueless.

Trump supported legislation that would throw tens of millions of Americans off of health insurance while raising premiums for the rest. Trump installed an EPA head who essentially wants no control of industry polluting the environment. Trump’s Housing Chief wants to sharply raise rents on the very poor. Trump favors Congressional action to raise the retirement age of Social Security and privatize Medicare.

None of those policies, in my view, are “good for America.”

Statistics tell me that 1 in 7 men will get prostate cancer. Since there are more than 7 men posting in this thread, you obviously have prostate cancer.

On average 1 of us will have prostate cancer in our lives, yes.
 
Who cares? POLICY matters, not random demographics

I made no such statement. I am saying the university knows what they are doing. Johns Hopkins remains one of the top universities in the world. It's admission policies are a part of their winning formula.

May I repeat my previous words of wisdom?

I might suggest you are being outraged on a subject that you have limited knowledge: selecting a successful freshman class. I would then suggest that you should save your outraged for things that you have some expertise in.

The DNC has spent the past 2 years in disarray, and their only unified message these days seems to be 'vote for us because we're not Donald Trump'.

Millennials care about jobs, the increasing cost of living, less government interference in their lives, & what their future will be - NOT about Donald Trump's love life from a dozen years ago.

That doesn't mean they are shifting to the right. If anything, they are moving further to the left and wanting a new party, with someone like Bernie at the helm. But, since the prospects of that are slim, they'll come home in November.

It's an 'online' poll, which depends on volunteer input. The problem with that is that the demographic of volunteers filling out online forms can vary radically from that of the real world. Telephone surveys are better.

Therefore, those numbers are not trust worthy.

As has been proven over and over again, the healthcare costs of the uninsured are the responsibility of the state and local communities not the federal taxpayer but you leftists have been indoctrinated into believing that it is the federal taxpayers responsibility to fund your personal responsibility issues which creates the entitlement mentality we have today by far too many.

Yes, I live i TX which is reported to have the most uninsured but that doesn't tell the entire story as Texas has FREE healthcare clinics supported by local communities and managed by volunteer doctors which are available on a mean's tested program and are for low income wage earners without healthcare and those who have lost their healthcare by losing their jobs. You see, states can and do handle their own healthcare requirements but indoctrinated liberals don't understand that nor do they want to

Must be hard for you watching the power base of the left deteriorate as it should. The bureaucrats who created the 21 trillion dollar debt shouldn't be given one more dollar until they are held accountable for the abuse of our tax dollars using money from SS, Medicare, and Excise taxes to fund social programs and build their power structure.

Yeah. And 4 in 10 of them don't know that 6 million Jews died in the Holocaust. Maybe they don't want history or information interfering in their lives, either. :)

More bad news for the radicals who seem to want this country to fail. We had a surplus in the month of April boosted by the economic activity created by the Trump tax cuts and 3 million new taxpayers created, part time employees going to full time paying full time wage taxes, going to be a long 2019-2020 for the left and you

you are under the mistaken impression that Trump's trangressions will not affect the vote.

Job stats and economics is too vague for anyone to pay attention to except extreme political types, ie., people over the age of 60, but Trumps foolish antics are all over TV, day in, and day out.

And apparently you are under the belief that tabloid politics trump personal finances of the American electorate. The silent majority exists today and will vote based upon their own pocketbooks which right now look much, much better. Job stats aren't too vague for the 3 million NEW taxpayers and the 800k part time for economic reasons now working full time. the electorate is tired of the leftwing bull****, personal attacks, politics of personal destruction and you will see that this fall. Will it resonate?? Doubt it as the radical left ignored Obama losing the House in 10-12 and the Congress in 14-16. Results matter a lot more than what Trump was supposed to have done prior to taking office.

I snipped the prostate problem in the bud, and I was headed that way, i did three things:

1. A big bowl of steamed broccoli ( 12 minutes ) smothered in melted garlic butter, at least four times a week, for breakfast ( with my bacon and eggs and black coffee)

2. Monitor sugar intake, keeping it to a minimum, if possible. (no donuts or pastry, but a bagel or a slice of banana bread, instead, and/or oatmeal raisin cookies not too sweet is ok. )

3. Took, every now and then, when I splurged on junk food and the prostate systems returned, I took a prostrate supplement ( the best rated one on Amazon ) which worked like a charm to make up for not eating brocolli a couple of days in a row (however, it's imperative to return to the brocolli diet asap). By the way, make sure the supplement has 50mg of zinc, it's the key ingredient. And, for angina sufferers, 100mg of zinc works like a charm!

If you have progressed to the stage of cancer, I don't know that this will reverse it, but if you are having prostrate issues, painful urination being the big one, this works beautifully for me. Just thought I would pass it along. The Brocolli WORKS !!!!

I'm not a doctor, these are empirical observations, only. No substitute for medical advice.

How do you explain the 6.6% unemployment rate for African Americans under Trump, a rate that our first African American President couldn't even come close to achieving during his 8 years(7.8%) and with all that social engineering? Could it be he was more concerned about Chicago style politics of keeping African Americans dependent rather than getting jobs and taking care of themselves.

African Americans with jobs doesn't bode well for Democrat chances in November

So the thread topic is Democrats losing ground with millennials and now losing ground with African Americans with the Unemployment rate 1.2% lower than Obama's best rate generated. Trump rate 6.6%.

Obama kept African Americans dependent just like typical Chicago style politics and that is going to cost them big time in November. Seems the left wants again to ignore actual data, run from it and continue their focus on tabloid politics

Once again you cherry pick the stats and then take great leaps to try to support your claims. Black unemployment fell substantially more under Obama that it has under Trump...and the reality is.....the reduction under Trump was a result of the programs that Obama put into place that Trump recently dismantled. So for Trump to try to claim credit for lower black unemployment is laughable to everyone....except those who aren't paying attention.

As usual trends over 8 years are more important to you than actual benefits and costs. The first African American had his ass kicked by Trump. Yep, Obama sure did generate the 2018 results, snuck back into the WH and implemented policies that he failed to implement while in the WH.

Cherry picked data?? LOL, I posted the actual data, Obama left us with 7.8% African American unemployment, 1.2% GDP growth, 9.3 trillion added to the debt and 152 million employed with still 6 million part time for economic reasons

Now for the cherry picked data, Trump 6.6% African American, double the Obama GDP rate, less than 5 million part time for economic reasons and NOW, April 2018 budget surplus with tax cuts, now how can that happen

https://www.treasurydirect.gov/NP/d...tYear=2018&endMonth=04&endDay=30&endYear=2018


Yep, the worst recovery in history under Obama but now that he is out of office he is generating great results showing that he should have left earlier. Thanks for showing up as I really miss kicking your butt with actual data, something you never offer. Guess some people never get tired of being wrong, must be in the water in California
