Their numbers grew larger than boomers last year

Millennials overtake Baby Boomers as America’s largest generation

But because Millennials don't vote at the same level, Boomers would still be the largest voting bloc, though with the Boomer generation shrinking and the Millennials still growing, that probably won't last too much longer.

To this point, President Trump and his staff have insulted injured veterans, members of Congress, working people, active duty military, and countless others any one of whom I would have thought was a political mortal sin. Yet, no matter how bad it is, Trump's supporters just seem to cling to him all the more even as he's telling them what worthless losers they are. Will older Americans treat Trump's disdain any differently?

Every day I think that their latest insult/gaffe will sink their ship and it just doesn't happen. Unbelievable.

and a magazine in which to publish lists of senators who need to be ousted next year. Not a smart move by Spice & Dice.

How can you speak for some guy that has dementia?

Going after the AARP is probably tougher than going after the NRA.

And the AARP is right in this case as the NRA is almost always wrong and in disagreement with a majority of its members.

The world is insane.
