What the tired “Republicans are old and therefore dying off” cliche fails to acknowledge is that people tend to get more conservative as they age. So just because a disproportionate number of Repubs/conservatives are elderly doesn’t mean that when they die off there won’t be any more to replace them. Remember that the Reagan revolution of the 1980’s was driven largely by the generation that, twenty years earlier, was all about issuing in some sort of leftist utopia.
It’s like the old saying–if you aren’t a liberal when you’re twenty you might not have a heart; but if you aren’t a conservative when you’re forty, you might not have a brain.
Well actually the Reagan cuputza lution was drivin by conservate leaning blue collar workers who were losing their jobs to the Japs.
The generation of my youth, the ’80’s was very conservative. The younger generation today (millennials) is not conservative. The pendulum swings back and forth, and the party you start voting for usually stays with out for life.
I happen to be a young center-right millenial myself.
True, Im 20 and lean right in my politics. I definitely don’t have a heart, that’s for sure. I’m a creature of practicality.
Jeb and Marco,,,just another cat fight.
No comment on the article itself… just kudos to FITS for firing out the stories today! It’s gonna be a fun 11 days in SC. If you’ve ever been in the business or closely followed politics this one is going to be special.
“chaos and blood” —- I’m loving it..!!
11 days of all silly season all the time. Welcome to South Carolina!
“undercard is raging between three candidates: U.S. Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, former Florida governor Jeb Bush and Ohio governor John Kasich.”
The equivalent of midget wrestling prior to the main event.
And we have Donald Trump in the dwarf tossing championship. LOL
Dumbest and poorest electorate in the nation outside of Mississippi, I’m guessing Trump by a landslide.
you really should move to another state. your happiness should come first.
Poorest? Not hardly. 10th in straight income. Take in to account cost of living and Government benefits (last column), South Carolina has a lower poverty rate than the national average. (15.8% vs. 16.0%). South Carolina is 13th worse, but beats the four largest states: California, Texas, Florida and NY. Dumest? Your remark is so dumb, it’s not worth considering.

In the words of the late Lewis Grizzard:
“Delta’s ready when you are.”
Cruz and his wife will do anything, say anything, lie about anything to live in the White House.
I will not. I am only running because god needs me to run. He told my dad so many times. He needs me to save the nation.
