He's losing with more than just young people, even though he gets slaughtered in the under 45 crowd something like 63 to 33. 

He is fortunate actually he is not running against an actual charismatic Democrat like a Bill Clinton or Barack Obama, or this would be a joke. 

Old people have a habit of dying, that's kinda their problem, relying on that voting bloc forever is not a smart strategy, though Trump right now has a multitude of issues. 

Bremain people just got lazy expecting a victory, the one great thing about Trump is he has mobilized the Democrats and enthusiasm against his candidacy with his high profile flubs, there is no lack of enthusiasm in the opposition to him whatsoever. 

Realize that the percentage of people between 20-44 (of voting age) are not the majority compared to people living 45+ and over ... 

Old people do have a habbit of dying but the powerful combination of retirement funds + advances in medical science will keep prolonging their existence in this world ... 

The Bremain got complacent, nothing and nothing less. What you say about Trump also applies to Clinton too when she basically spits on everyone with terrorist/immigration concerns, free trade, and other matters on foreign policy. She is denouncing at least 40% of the voting population and that's how Trump is getting serious grounds when you and the many others were discounting him before the primaries even started and I also bet most of you guys didn't envision him to be the the RNC's nominee so what's exactly stopping you guys from jinxing yourselves once more with him actually winning the election ? 

It's a case of elitism (Clinton) vs anti-elitism (Trump) ...

lol, I do find the painting of Trump as a "non-elite" as hilarious, dude was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and lives in a gold plated apartment with a trophy wife and a 10-year-old son that occupies an entire floor of a hotel. Trump is the same elite circle as Clinton, hell he invited the Clintons to his razzle dazzle wedding 10 years ago. I just prefer Hilary's politics to the Donald's and I trust her temperment and experience 10x more. Now if it comes down to who would make a more entertaining reality TV show, sure I'd pick Trump, but this is the presidency not a reality TV show. 

The Republican party doesn't have a future if their voting block is basically going to be this generation of old people was my point. They cannot sustain themselves forever with dog whistle diet racism and bible thumpers. 

If Trump can scare enough people, maybe he can win, but right now, it doesn't look good for him. He is losing with college educated whites. He is losing with Hispanics obviously. He is losing with African Americans. He is losing with Asians. He loses with women. He needs a major terrorist attack to occur, probably multiple ones ,to get enough people terrified enough to turn this tide. Which is kind of a sad indictment of him as a candidate. Ronald Reagan he ain't.
