Morning Joe -65% of Millennials Favor A Democratic Majority 33% Favor a Deplorable * Minority

It's from a Harvard poll of millennials. The Deplorables are killing the seed corn.


I found the poll:


Trump’s approval rating now 25%, down 12 points among Republicans since spring 2017
68% of black Americans, 46% of Hispanics feel significantly under attack in America
61% of young Americans believe in stricter gun laws



CAMBRIDGE, MA – A new national poll of America’s 18- to 29-year-olds by Harvard’s Institute of Politics (IOP), located at the Kennedy School of Government, finds that two-thirds of young Americans (67%) are more fearful than hopeful about America’s future. Less than one year before the 2018 midterm elections, likely young American voters cite preference for Democratic control of Congress, 65% to 33%

All independents do is cost Democrats elections...we need to get over this third party fantasy as it will never happen. Look at the outcome of even trying...deplorable majorities that will literally kill people. vote Democratic.

If they stack the courts with uber conservatives and the people who are being governed are liberal they are setting up a society living in perpetual acrimony.

Or hopefully Democratic supermajorities where we can pass laws or even get amendments.

I always thought what would happen if the courts went radically in one direction while the governed went in another.

I think it’s a damn fine one.

I also think they care about healthcare, education, and the minimum wage. Among most we win on all three.

18% said they're possibly/likely to vote.

Those are bad numbers. Millennials can reshape this country, but are too apathetic to vote.
