It's the economy stupid!

And baby boomers stopped retiring in 2016?? Too Funny!

I didn’t say that… but again it was a tiny statistically insignificant jump. Look at job growth across the Obama Administration as well as GDP growth. Pretty decent. Trump had a small sugar high from his tax cut. Acting like he had this phenomenal economy that didn’t happen until he got there is bonkers.

Not that Chicago or New York or California will ever turn red from blue, or even trend to purple, but those folks in those cities are not anxious about the economy, those people are dealing with budget breaking waves of recent undocumented immigrants impacting city services , causing budget deficits, and impacting safety of neighborhoods.newly arrived undocumented immigrants unable to speak English are a severe challenge in local schools already devastated by teacher shortages and COVID learning losses. California voted in free health care for all undocumented immigrants, and currently is looking at a large budget deficit $100B on a budget of some $300B, if memory serves me correctly.

The wave of undocumented immigrants requiring food, housing, clothing and education is overwhelming cities already dealing with mental health problems mixed into homelessness and drug addiction.

Those people of those cities won’t exactly be confident in the next step of Dem leadership at the top to solve this ongoing problem, that being Kamala Harris.

These Dems will not vote for Trump but they may stay home or vote for RFK or Jill Stein or Cornell West.

The southern border being open to 8M visitors and counting, from some 150 different countries of the world is going to be the #1 election issue come November. Not necessarily the economy or inflation.

National polls are reflecting this.

The Democrats are going to make abortion the main issue. Given the last 3 years of elections that’s gonna be a hard one to overcome by scaring people with immigration arguments. Polls are showing an extremely tight race between the two with Biden coming out on top of late.

Besides… the GOP got what it wanted in the senate bill Trump ordered them to kill. They don’t give a damn about the border. Trump just thinks it’s his easiest way to election. Expect that to be hammered on hard.

Yes the Elkhart, Goshen area is the national center for the RV industry.

HAHAHA!!! Their children have been entering the workforce since 1975!!!

Boomers kids? We weren't even born in 1975.

Millennials were born from 1981 to 1996.

There would have been a bump due to later millennial entering the workforce. Those are a mix of Gen X and Boomer kids.

You think boomers waited until they were 30 to have kids??? That's another laugh!

Y'all should start a comedy show!

Even if they had kids mid 1970's they weren't entering the job market until 2000 - 2017...

I was the first of 3 and my mom was born in 61 and was 29 when I was born. Are you slow or something?

[TC Talks]

My mom was 31 when I was born...

[Honeyman]

I was the last of 2, with a miscarriage in between.

My mother was 33 was I was born.

Shouldn't be surprised that both you guys were "slow" getting up to speed in the world, but here's some actual data.



Too bad it doesn't go all the way back to 1946 but in the early 60's the AVERAGE was 23 when women started having kids. And if that's the AVERAGE that means a lot of them were having kids well before that too, especially since you've acknowledged that there were SOME women (your moms) who were 29, 31 and 33, thus pulling that AVERAGE up.

My mom was 35 when I was born. She was born in 1947, an early boomer. I was the first of 2.

That’s a good point on abortion. It certainly moved the needle here in Michigan in 2022, bringing out Dems to vote on the ballot proposals dealing with abortion. In this purple state, the Result was both michigan legislature house and senate went to Dems for first time in 40 yrs.

I’d say we take a look at which deep red, deep blue, and swing states have abortion on the ballot.
