Wisdom certainly was voting for Hillary, who had the right education, Secty of State expereince, Senatorial experience and a lifetime of trying to help people. The other side was a reality show host with 6 bankruptcies.
Older voters have been trending Republican in recent elections. In 2012, Mitt Romney won the over-65 vote by 12 points, his largest margin among any age group; in 2008, John McCain won them by 8, the only age group he won. Old people are also much more likely to vote than younger voters: In 2012, they were 13 percent of the population but 16 percent of voters. (These figures are taken from exit polls and the Census; according to some proprietary data, the 2012 electorate actually skewed even older than the exit polls claimed.)
Millennials’ turnout in 2012 was just 46 percent of those eligible, while the turnout rate for Baby Boomers, born between 1946 and 1964, was 69 percent, according to Pew. Older people's propensity to vote is particularly pronounced in midterm elections, when the youth vote falls off: In 2014, 22 percent of voters were over 65. The 2016 election is likely to be the last presidential contest in which a majority of voters belong to the Boomers or prior generations.
That is the standard hope of the George Bush-worshipping, Donald Trump-loving rightwinger, isn't it?: that as they get older, voters will change their registration to the Republican party.
That is not the way in works. Labels, and party affiliation on a voter registration form are ephemeral, transient, and meaningless.
What matters is ideology, principles, and social consensus. Not party labels.
Over the broad arc of time, progressivism and liberalism are always making progress...incremental progress.
What was once considered "liberal" or even "radical", will ultimately be considered conventional, even traditional. People who would have been considered liberal in 1955, might look conservative today. It is not that people change as they age....it is that society around them changes, our social norms change, as they get older. It was only about ten years ago that the Republican Party at large and social conservatives were up in arms about gay marriage or legal marijuana.
Barely anyone on here even posts faux outrage about gay marriage or legal marijuana anymore. And yet, old timers on the board can remember when these were key issues for conservatives. Is was only ten or fifteen years ago that Republicans were feverishly working to ban gay marriage at the state level, through ballot proposition.
But, now were are all pretty much "liberal" on these bell weather social issues, eh?
the youth are going to vote this midterm
then they will learn how important a mid term election is
then they will vote in all elections at a much higher rate
then the republican party dies
then we will Kill lying fox news
What were her accomplishments as Secretary of State and Senator? She spent a life time trying to amass power. And I vote based on what policies I believe a candidate will advance. Hillary's policies run anathema to what I want to see enacted.
She smokes dope from dawn to dusk, her brain is totally baked.That's because unlike most people, you didn't acquire wisdom with age. I used to be a liberal btw.
A lot of these kids that you worship will reject many of the of the odious parts of liberalism as they get away from their liberal teachers and gain wisdom from living in the real world.
Kill Fox News?
How freedom of speech loving of you?
Should we repeal the 1st Amendment as well as the second? Rewrite it to say “only speech Deshtard approves of”?
That's because unlike most people, you didn't acquire wisdom with age.

fox is now Russian propaganda idiot

Over Hillary? Of course, anything other than Hillary is a wise choice. Freaking Donald Duck."Wisdom" is voting for shit like Donald Trump?
Pretty pathetic that when you lack an argument, you stoop to accusing people of wanting to kill children.
Sold out? Who paid me, and how much?You sold out for greed and hate.
Lots of us still want a better country with more equality and freedoms. Your age related brain degeneration is not universal.
