This Is Hillary Clinton's Millennial 'Problem' - "There are only so many times one can insist that young voters
capitulate to a political party’s sole demand—vote for us!—in exchange
for nothing.
"This
might not seem such a bad thing. Positions shift. Parties evolve. A
serious threat of millennial desertion might lead to a natural
compromise: support, in exchange for real policy concessions going
forward. So why have liberal pundits resisted such a move? Why are they
intent on not just defeating but discrediting the ideological
preferences of the young left, dismissing them not as a legitimate
divergence but as mere ignorance and confusion?
"Perhaps the theory
that political choices meaningfully reflect political preferences can
help us here, as well. Many older people, including liberals, tend to be more conservative than younger voters.
These ideological preferences are real, and we should take them as
seriously as they should take the preferences of millennials. These
older liberals would like their vision of society to prevail. They would
like to win. It is therefore in their interests to discredit and defeat
opponents of that vision, be they reactionary nativists or young
anti-capitalists. One way to defeat them is to use their positions as
public commentators in order to attack those opponents, to call them
confused and unserious and dangerous. And so they have."
Whatever is actually in Trump’s tax returns is worse than what the New York Times says: Trump is making clear that whatever is really in his tax returns would be devastating to his campaign.
