2018 and 2020 will determine redistricting for the next decade. That will got a lot worse under a Hillary Presidency.

Right, because having the Supreme Court stay in the hands of Republicans who will keep f**king up the Voting Rights Act is totally what the country needs.
A probable Republican Supreme Court Justice is a small price to pay for a president not beholden to lobbyists and corporations, as Hillary would be. Besides, it's not like Trump could pick anyone much more conservative than that filth Merrick Garland.

Hopefully it's B8.

What about the young people who vote Republican? Is there such an animal? Is the Republican party attracting the youth vote at all? I'm so curious about how Bernie attracted them. It wasn't about the Dem party, it was about what his message was all about. The Republican party doesn't appear to do anything to attract the young vote, or the female vote for that matter.

I have said this before ....
In our world, our nation and our communities, we are ALL becoming slowly and more and more "liberal" as time continues to tick. Because information is easily available online and on our phones, we learn more easily about different cultures and people, and thus become "more accepting."
And the earlier in life we are exposed to this (as children), the more of a chance that you will follow an ideology that is more liberal as an adult (and then the more of a chance that you pass-on and educate your own children, with this same ideology and acceptance.)
This trend will not change.

I hate to say it, but the Republican Party is not a party of "accepting" different cultures and people. The GOP is stuck in the 1950's or 1960's. Members of this party continue to use vocabulary and statements, time and again, which refuses to embrace anyone who is not white, Christian and heterosexual.

Most young people today, don't "get this." They see and become friends with someone different from them, and don't have a problem. It's older generations that are stuck in time, and refuse to change. Luckily all of us old bastards, die off ..... and we leave the next generation to govern and make laws that allow ALL PEOPLE their right to live and be accepted in society, equally.

God, here we go again.

Good Post Gallery is that way ----->

I expect Corbyn to be crushed in the next election - be it in 2017 or in 2020. he will then quit, then Sadiq Khan will become the new Labour leader and he will win the following election.

This is why North Americans should not comment on European political threads.
I think they should. It makes for a good laugh.
