[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My step-father was visiting this weekend. He's what I call a "weak" Trump supporter: voted for him because he was sick of the status quo, encouraged everyone to "give Trump a chance" after the Inaugeration, and generally is very uncomfortable when minority Americans talk about "justice."

Now? He's completely opposed to Trump. He finds him to be despicable, both in his personal conduct and lack of respect for the troops on this Memorial Day weekend. He's excited about Biden, but admits he will likely vote for anyone the Democrats nominate.

I'd say that's the general sentiment among much of the independent white Boomer electorate.[/quote]

Maybe among the wealthy class, but certainly not among those still working hard and building their 401k...[/quote]

You're saying a traveling bathtub salesman still working at age 65 is among "the wealthy class"? Um, OK.[/quote]

I did not and cannot judge any particular person. What I do notice is that independent boomers in my workplace seem to appreciate the labor market we have and the significant 401k increase they have seen since 2016.

[b]Whether they will vote against their interests is to be seen.[/quote]

Your problem is this assumption. A non-Trump Presidency can still be synonymous with economic growth and investment. [/quote]

Not if the policies the current crop of candidates are advocating.  [/quote]

Posted too soon....

Not if the polices of the current crop of candidates are enacted...... Our economy would go in exactly the opposite direction.  [/quote]
