Millennials thankfully outnumber Baby Boomers, so can go toe-to-tasseled-loafer with them. Maybe the generational madness will come to an end.

The Democrats have yet to release hard numbers to go along with the the precinct percentages. We therefore have, in effect, something akin to our flawed electoral college---a process where the institutional tallies do not necessarily reflect the true popular totals. Percentages absent the actual numbers they represent can be meaningless and misleading. As the old adage goes, there are lies, damned lies, and statistics.
One thing is certain, however, the Democrats have more than a generational divide to worry about. After about three decades attempting to out-Republican Republicans with policies of 'pragmatism', triangulation, and general accommodation to various monied interests, believing voters are likely to show up in November to validate more of the same boggles the imagination.
