Bush, Sanders and the long, slow death of the GOP
I don't see the Republicans going quietly.

The millennial generation will soon rise to action, and it is beginning to swarm around Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.). His old socialist approach is a radical departure from what we have seen in the last 25 years. One of my millennials emailed home this week to say of Clinton/Bush: "Thanks, but we're tired of your families."
Today, Sanders's approach may be winning the millennials, the group said to be essential to the turn and rise of the century. Sanders is everywhere on their indigenous means of communication, Facebook and Twitter. He may be their Gray Champion. President Obama might have been that figure, but his inexplicable insistence on the imperious Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) ruins everything. And TPP could well be the trigger for the new generation rising.
Generational theorists predict, accurately in my opinion, that the generation that rises to action cohesively today will be the action generation to advance the century, just as the so-called "Greatest Generation" rose to master its world-shaking events in the 1930s and '40s. If they continue to follow Sanders's cue, and that of Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), the La Passionara of this new movement, it could bring a slow and painful death to conservatism as we know it.
Millennials are not slackers or sleepyheads, as they are said to be; they are bright, disciplined and acutely focused. They are — it is — a generation in waiting. And it may well be waiting for Bernie Sanders.
