Dems bleeding Millennials

Conservatism is the new counter culture and many of the younger kids are being drawn towards it.  I know this stuff is all cyclical, but there's a reason the DNC is trying so hard to get millions of illegal aliens onto the voting roles and it has nothing to do with compassion.

There's been a steady up-tick of African American support towards the GOP as well.

Obviously the Republicans are a very long ways away from getting majorities with younger and minority voters, but even a change of a few percentage points overall can have dramatic effects within the electorate.

They got that right. LOL

You kind of hit the nail on the head actually.  That was form early 2016 and quite frankly they were right.  They (generalizing of course) were in a crappy economy that the government screwed up and life was tough.  The R's and the D's were just pointing fingers blaming each other and that was politics in a nutshell.
Then comes the Trumpster who is making their life better, he is fighting to bring jobs back to America, he is fighting to grow the economy with better taxes.  For the first time in the millennials adult life there's somebody in office that appears to be wanting to help them or at least get out of the way.

I know what it's like to be a young buck in a  thriving and growing economy and I'm very thankful that my kids will be graduating into a similar growth oriented economy.  Oldest graduates next week and second one is a year behind.  Dam kid got a fat paying job straight out of school and there's companies already fighting over the second one.  The tide is turning.  Oh, and unfortunately for the Democratic Party they opposed 100% of the things that are now creating the growth.

Do you mean to tell me that the Democratic Party ideals and policies don't work?  I'm looking at cities ran almost exclusively by democrats.....like Chicago, St. Louis, Flint, Oakland, and on and on and on.....man, those places are virtual utopias for people living there.  LMAOOOOOOOO

The stock market was pretty much the only thing that was a positive the past 8 years, but don't forget that the first 6 years of that was catching up to where it was prior to the crash.  Then we look at the trillions of dollars in debt that were used to prop the market up.  One can argue it was a worthy investment, but creating stock market growth through debt is never a good long term recipe for success.

As for increasing support, it's a slow process and I don't in any way expect him to all of a sudden get majority support from this demographic, but the key is a slow shift.  Even if it only ticks a few percentage points it can have drastic effects.

That graph doesn't measure ANYTHING except change from the preceding Q.  What a misleading piece of crap model THAT is.  Still....it's good to see stable numbers from Q to Q under Trump.

I know firsthand about San Fran, Seattle, ans LA......and THAT'S a load of crap.  Those regions, especially LA and Seattle, may be helping to drive the economy, but it's sure as hell not from any policies within the City limits.  In fact, all of those cities are losing population because people can't afford to live there........which means crime and poverty will soon fill in the gaps, as it has in the Bay area for the last 10 years.

No.......our cities in this country are failing....and they are failing under democratic party "leadership".

Trumps been in office a little over a year and his tax cuts didn't go into effect until January 1 of this year.  He drastically removed the regulatory barriers last year, but they all take time to kick in.  We've seen a steady uptick in GDP and down-tick in unemployment.  I saw something a week or two ago that we have record low unemployment in 17 states.
There have been hundreds, if not thousands of large companies that have committed to bringing their products back to America.  You also have foreign companies coming to the US to manufacture here.  These things don't just turn on within a week, they can take years to fully get going, but the optimism is everywhere (outside of the big cities).

One challenge for our millenials will be their readiness for the new job demands.  A PHD in gender studies with a minor in white people are racist won't translate well on a resume.  They will have to be educated to contribute more than their mandated $15/hr barista job.

Can you please highlight on that graph when Trump took office?  lol

I know what you're saying and to an extend I agree with you based on the economic indicators.  The GDP growth will take time even if Trump does everything perfect (economically speaking).  We'll know a lot more by 2020 for sure.

It's kind of an interesting thing if you really step back and look at all the moving pieces.  The higher the density of population the more reliant on "the system" everyone becomes.  The government has more and more power and control over everyone's lives because without it things fall apart pretty quickly.  When the subways go down in NYC it's a mess.
Same thing with food and other supplies, they have to come from elsewhere so these thriving cities come to a screeching halt if the interstate gets shut down from a storm.

We're all part of a great system where the big cities could not exist or thrive if it were not for middle America and the innovation and advances that come from the big cities benefit everyone as well.  I like to poke fun of the big city folks as well, but we all are part of the same team and we just do things differently. 
Here is something interesting to ponder.  If the big city goes away, can middle America still survive?  yes
If the rural farmer and working class stiffs go away can the city survive?  We know the answer is no.  It's like a version of hunger games where Panem is much greater than the masses, but without the masses Panem cannot stand on it's own because of a near complete lack of self reliance.

lol, I'd say it's more about who is resonating with them and who is not.  The Democratic leadership (what there is of it) is really struggling to resonate with voters and their guaranteed demographics of the young and minorities are slipping.  a 10 point swing among millennials in just a few years is massive.

A bull market will not benefit kids leaving school.  The fact is that under Obama, the job market was never great (except in certain fields).  The Trump economy and Tax plan is fostering growth in the corporate market where they are open for hiring and expanding.  You can blame Obama's corporate problems on Obamacare costs, Stifling regulations and just the uncertainty of the economy.  

You can say a lot of bad things about Trump but you can't say he is not Pro Business.

But did we get to 5% unemployment through growth in jobs or from people falling off the report because they were unemployed for so long.  There was also a monumental shift towards underemployment where college grads and middle aged adults filled up minimum wage type jobs and pushed the kids out of them.  They're "employed", but not in a way they should be.  Hence, the big push for higher minimum wage mandated by the government.  I can't get a real job so I need the government to make my entry level job pay a living wage...

Back on the GDP topic, here's a WSJ article from a few days ago talking about how Trumps policies are helping businesses and that they're not just dumping it towards stock buybacks and increased dividends.  I believe that was one of your concerns back when the tax cut was being proposed.
