As a Millennial with mostly Millennial friends, I disagree. Gen Z is even further left than us.

I spend a lot of time with our kids and their friends, comes with having cool toys and I'm not getting that liberal vibe from them. All are 22 to 30 and most are homeowners interested in starting their own businesses, families and career advancement.

that's because they have something that they worked for.

Others have nothing because they didn't work for it but feel entitled to it. That's the difference.

I'm not saying every friend I have is a bloodthirsty Commie, just that most of them lean left, especially on social issues. I think that is pretty accurate for the large majority of my generation.

On social issues I agree that about all of the kids friends are pretty liberal or just DGAF, on the fiscal side they are pretty hardcore conservative. They understand the government can't pay for everyone's college and healthcare without crushing them with taxes.

I don't understand the appeal of Trump mocking his opponents like he does, with the "sleepy Joe", "crazy Bernie", and the veiled homophobic attack on Pete.
I mean, does this really make people like him more? It always seemed juvenile to me.

Its sophomoric but I think it resonates with your average Joe. He is quite tame in my opinion...you should hear how I talk about democrats!

What veiled homophobic attack? If that’s the case I’m sure everyone will be ready to pounce. Hell, I’m sure it’s already in the can ready to be played.

So I guess referring to him as “Butt edge edge” as the pronunciation of his surname was provided in a pro-Pete article, is a veiled homophobic attack? Or did I miss something else Trump said?

I don't have a problem with it among the average Joe. I just think it is beneath the office. But Trump has always been a blowhard, so I don't know why I'm surprised anymore with what he says.

No, it isn't that. That is how Pete has described the best way to pronounce his name.

Trump campaign raising big bucks from women

President Trump’s early fundraising numbers show he not only has a stockpile of cash -- raising over $30 million in the first quarter -- but is doing particularly well among one donor demographic: women.

According to a recently released analysis from the Center for Responsive Politics, 45 percent of Trump’s donations during the fundraising period came from women.

That would be the third-highest percentage among all 2020 candidates. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., took the top spot with 52 percent of donations coming from female donors and Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., came in second with 49 percent of her donations coming from women. CRP analyzed data for itemized donations over $200.

While Trump continues to face high disapproval ratings among women, the campaign finance numbers suggest a core group of followers keeping the faith with the president. For their part, his re-election campaign credits the president’s straight-talk approach to issues.

“He talks about women just like he would talk to a typical American voter,” said Kayleigh McEnany, press secretary for the 2020 Trump campaign. “Democrats pander to women. President Trump acts for women and speaks to women.”

The campaign also points out that Trump reported more female donors than any other candidate -- with 10,329 women donating to his campaign, followed by Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., with 3,850 donors and Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., with 3,271 donors. This is somewhat to be expected, however, since Trump is the incumbent Republican candidate while Democrats are locked in a crowded primary and splitting the vote -- and the donor pool -- for now.

“The results of the Trump economy, including near record-low unemployment for women – translates into enthusiasm, donations, and ultimately, votes,” Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel in a statement. “Just as President Trump has delivered on his promises, women voters will be an integral part of President Trump’s successful re-election in 2020.”

Alright, I'll spell it out for you. He's implying Buttigieg isn't "masculine" enough to negotiate with the Chinese because he is married to a dude.

Most countries that the left are afraid of wont take PB serious because he is gay. Sad, but true.
