        The whole idea of generations -- Millenials, Gen X, Boomers -- is bunk. But as a very old Gen X'er I would like to say I've never experienced Millenials as anything other than normal people. Everyone is an a-hole in their teens and 20s, and Millenials are no worse than everyone else.

        Plus, as you point out, they have been handed a really rough deal. If there is any truth in the time-honored apothegm that suffering builds character (spoiler: there isn't), the Millenials will be the next Greatest Generation, fixing all the problems the Boomers bequeathed us from Reaganomics to Neocon Wars to Climate Change.

              No, he thinks you're a troll. Frankly, I don't. That's all pretty accurate as far as I'm concerned. Hopefully the next President can do something to fix some of it.

                Supposedly Trump is adding Christie to his debate prep team.

                Trump will win with the best "deer in headlights" ever.

                  You're not a troll, don't worry about it. You should post more, though. :-)

                    The points he scored Monday night were economic (jobs, trade, debt). But his ego won't allow him to let this go.

                      Yup. I was honestly worried with the "she's been there for 30 years" theme. That will resonate with a lot of people. And "they took our jerbs!" is an evergreen winner even if Trump's solutions are even worse for the economy.

                      Thing is, as Rover mentioned a while back, the first debate was his wheelhouse. If he couldn't win with his ace on the mound, how's he going to do on foreign policy or civil rights and civil liberties when he's got a AAA scrub out there?

                      He could go for the jugular on fiscal and monetary policy -- the middle class is even more worried about the debt and quantitative easing than his core supporters. He has room to grow there if he says "I will put a hard cap on all discretionary spending that gets progressively higher each year until by my 4th year the budget is balanced. I will then increase the cap to begin to pay off the national debt. While the debt is too large to have even appreciably dent it by the end of my second term, I will aim to have reduced it by at least 5%. The savings on debt service will then be applied directly to further debt reduction, and the virtuous cycle will eventually clear our entire debt within 20 years."

                        If you don't recite from the daily press release from the Clinton campaign, the DailyKos, HuffPo, or Salon you're a troll (per Handy or Rover et al).

                        I dare read Salon, HuffPo, NYT, WaPo, but also < gasp! > WaTimes, WSJ, Drudge, and British media, so I'm a pariah.

                          If Trump stayed with "30 years of bad experience and nothing gets done" he'd be dangerous.

                            Yeah, that's actually a decent argument that would resonate with enough people who would take a chance on a sociopath.

                              That will obviously be the 2020 nominee's opening bid. As hard as it is to beat back incumbent exhaustion for a third term, it's doubly as hard for a fourth, especially considering that after 7 years of economic growth we'll be due for a downturn at some point in the next term.

                              It is possible that the 2016 term is a trap. Hillary has no choice, it was now or never, but the risk is very high particularly if the GOP can retain either chamber.
