    Just by population numbers, 12 million more Americans will die by 2028, and 15-16M more "shiftless Tik-Tokers" will join the electorate.

    Rinse and repeat these numbers for the 2028, 2032 and 2036 presidential cycles.

    I ain't skeered.

    I hope Merchan and Chutkan are entertaining all these frivolous Stinky motions in court just to run up his billable hours.

    That's $100K less to spend in Jethro County, Alabama.

    The unions are Democratic Party strongholds. Trump complicated that for them, because the actual workers in most unions were supporting Trump. So the union leadership has had to toe a line between the politicians they have traditionally had their corrupt relationships with, and the rank and file they need to keep happy in order to keep their power in the union.

    It's about $$. Richard Trumka had a net worth in the millions of dollars when he died a few years ago, He didn't make that money in the mines. He made it mining the union. The leaders of the unions need the support of the people in the unions as much as they need political preference from politicians. If they lose the rank and file, they lose their gravy train. And if the rank and file are die hard Trump, the way they are, I don't think they will ever "mobilize" against Trump. They'll do what they have always done with Trump, and try to play both sides of the fence in a way that doesn't alienate their members.

    Hillary listened to those jamokes in 2016 instead of relying on the acumen of the best retail politician since Reagan, who sits at the same dinner table every night.

    Gen X is driving the Trump train, and the 65+ population will peak around 2029 when the last Boomers turn 65.

    2028 electorate demographics will do you no favors.

    Comer and Jordan released a House report this morning claiming Biden committed impeachable offenses. They don't have any real evidence, mind you. They just wanted to get a the report out there on the first day of the convention.
    I'd love it if Biden went straight at them tonight in his speech.

    The GOP has had a majority in the House for nearly 2 years and literally their entire agenda is going after enemies of Trump. I understand that it may be difficult to get things done when you don’t control the Senate or the White House, but there is zero effort to govern.

    And the population is moving toward the Sunbelt states: Arizona, Florida, North Carolina.

    Yep. NY has lost three EVs, and Florida has gained three and Texas has gained six since 2008.

    That's basically the equivalent of an Arizona-sized state that the Dems have lost without anyone changing their voting habits. They just changed their address.

    And we'll have another EV reapportion for the 2032 election, which should add at least one more to Texas and Florida and perhaps siphon another away from NY and/or Pa. or Mich.

    Lots of union leaders actually believe in the concept of organized labor and collective bargaining.
