Democrats are going to have the Millennial politicians who learned their political techniques from Barack Obama. That's a very good model.

Millennial adults will likely vote for Millennial politicians at the expense of Tea Party types. Such will be big trouble for the GOP.

What are those techniques? Racial division/agitation/fearmongering?

Has anyone played up race less than Barack Obama? Has he used race as a ground for patronage? Has he excused bad behavior by blacks? Because he is black, he really can't get away with much. All in all that is a good thing.

The Republicans keep nominating extremists, which is great for ideological consistency... but demographic realities will hurt the Party. The aging constituency of the Tea Party implies a steady erosion of support for Republican pols.

The Republicans have the money, the organization, and the fanatics.

That is enough.
