I hope you're right.
About 2), Gen X (pre-millenials) are largely democrat, and they have aged, tbh...
I don't think millenials are set in stone yet, and I actually see the post-millenials being up for grabs...
What's more puzzling is the general lack of Gen X candidates from democrats...
Don't discount the Democratic Machine shooting itself in the foot. It's not unlikely.

The good old Bernie wing about to on their own nest again.
Yup.

Trump is pushing Hispanics into the Democratic party. If this is over your head... (shrugs) you aren't paying attention. The most ardent, activist Democrats I personally know are ALL female Hispanics.
Data shows that Millennials are not becoming more conservative at the same rates that Boomers did.
These assumptions are based on facts (see articles posted if you aren't too scared of reading things that you won't see on Fox "News")

That has been the hollowing out of the Democratic party.
That is what is changing. See Angies List for Gen X candidates, and there are a LOT of women.
https://www.emilyslist.org/
Emilys list signed up a few hundred women candidates total in 2015 and 2016.
They signed up almost 34,000 since President Pussygrabber got elected.
Progressive women tend to be moderate (see Economist article), and will peel Republican women voters away form the GOP here and there.

It's not just an uptick in Democratic voters happening in Texas, but an increase in candidates putting their names on the ballot, too. Democrats are fielding a modern-day record number of candidates across the state. There are 111 U.S. House candidates running for the minority party, and they are spread across all 36 Texas congressional districts — the first time that's happened in 25 years, and a departure from two years ago when Democrats didn't run candidates in eight seats.
On a state legislative level, Democrats have candidates in 132 of the 150 state House districts and in 14 of the 15 state Senate districts up for election this year. That includes four Senate districts where Democrats didn't field candidates in 2014 or 2012, and 20 new House districts where they didn't have candidates in either 2016, 2014 or 2012.
Cal Jillson, a political science professor at Southern Methodist University, said that the Democratic surge is even more impressive given that it's usually GOP voters, not Democrats, who have been reliable in non-presidential years.
"It's one word — enthusiasm. In a midterm election like this, what you normally expect to see is the Republicans' primary turnout might be twice what the Democratic turnout is, so to have the Democrats even with, and even slightly ahead, of Republicans in this midterm election is really extraordinary," Jillson said.

Interesting.
SPLAT that into a spreadsheet... sort.. and:
Democratic primary total votes cast in listed counties: 465,245 52.5%
Republican primary total votes case in listed counties: 420,329 47.5%
This isn't a poll. This is a vote tally. A lot harder to wish away or pooh-pooh.
(percentages in picture check out, roughly)

I haven't seen Texas dems this excited since abortion Barbie was going to be gubner.
Most likely is that the GOP clings to power for one more election cycle.
Most likely was that Clinton was going to win the white house.
"most likely" does not mean "certain".
Trump is the best thing to happen to Democrats in my lifetime. I think his election will end up being a pyrrhic victory.
Is that worry I sense? That has to count for something. lol
That lady was ing hot. Perfect looking MILF tbh iirc
You need help boy
Thought he was talking about Laura Moser. She is indeed very hot, imo. Classic blondie.You need help boy
DarrinS would definitely appreciate his understudy’s work herez
Her neck looks bad there but she looks fine otherwise for a 50 year old lady.You need help boy
Lol isnt Snakeboy like 55 years old? no chance his wife looks better than that at that age
Does she have a texas accent? I've only ever seen her in some articles
Wendy Davis was a terrible candidate whose entire platform was whining about what Abbott said about her in his latest attack ad. She had no message.
Get out and vote tomorrow gots.
I think you are mistaking Bernie touting fundraiser milestones with him actually winning the overall fundraising race. He did extremely well on small donations and online but at the end of the day all corporate dark money went to Clinton.
Sanders won a bunch of primaries early before the DNC turned on him. That is what lent his campaign legitimacy.
