Geezer Power

Copied from Daily Kos, regarding data from a PPP poll of Texas voters. Cheesy leads HRC by six points overall, but...

"Trump's lead is based entirely on his holding a 63-33 advantage among seniors. With voters under 65, Clinton leads him 49-45. And when you look just specifically at voters under 45, Clinton leads Trump 60-35. Older voters are overwhelmingly responsible for the Republican advantage in Texas, and generational change is likely to help Democrats become more competitive."

Another confirmation of something we already suspected. The Republican Party depends upon the same geezers who keep Fox News Channel at the top of the cable news totem pole (FNC viewers are mostly white people over age 65).

PS: On the secession issue, 59 percent of Texans want to remain part of the United States, and 26 percent want to secede. Here's what's scary: fifteen percent can't decide. That means four out of ten Texans are at least open to the idea. Dumb fucks.
