  • That’s true, but you also have to consider that the 65+ block is a smaller chunk of the population, currently pegged at 16.8% whereas 18 to 44 accounts for 35.9%. The moves the GOP are making are definitely upsetting the 30-somethings too, especially since they have been on the student loan treadmill for over a decade in a lot of cases. Depending on where you look (my quick glance was from Pew) the millennial voting block was roughly equal to the 65+ in sheer count. It just makes zero logical sense to keep pushing way past the point of diminishing returns on trying to get more of the boomer vote at the cost of nearly every other demographic.
