The Republicans will ignore every indication that they are shooting themselves in the foot by tying themselves more and more to disgruntled baby boomers.

you mean the largest generation and the generation most likely to vote
Wasn't enough to win the past two presidential elections, probably won't be enough to win the next one. They'll obviously eventually win a presidential election; Democrats can't hold the White House forever. But an electoral coalition that is almost entirely white baby boomers will atrophy every election, and dooming themselves among Millennials and the nascent generation that hasn't yet formed isn't going to help them in the long term.

I don't think you really contradicted anything I said. The Early Boomers were liberal draft dodger hippies, but the later, larger wave of Boomers are much more reactionary. Starting with Nixon, the Boomers voted remarkably Republican for a young generation, and have continued to vote Republican since, much to the detriment of the country, if you look at the presidents they chosen or would have chosen. They're really one of the objectively worst generations we've ever had the misfortune to produce in this nation, so it is no surprise that they vote heavily Republican.

Well, while the Millenials are struggling with all the problems created by the Boomers, we'll fondly recall the days of global economic panic, brushfire wars, and deficit exploding tax cuts advanced by such luminaries as Ronald Reagan, Bush 41, and Bush 43.

That's not true at all. If Hillary wins in 2016, 2018 will be an even bigger disaster for the Democrats than 2010 and 2014 combined.
I don't think that is electorally possible. Sure, Democrats might lose as many Senate seats, but it is hard to see the Republicans winning any more House seats then they are currently holding. It could maybe be worse than 2014, but there is no way it will be worse than the two combined.

The trampled masses arose and cast out the Republicans in a righteous rage.

Anyone asking for his sources is obviously a stooge of the liberal mainstream media.
