Writing for The New York Times, Mark Bauerlein notes that the Dems' hold on young voters seems to have slipped in the last election. They remain socially liberal but no longer believe Republicans threaten their personal freedoms.
I am puzzled Bauerlein writes a whole column on changing voting patterns without mentioning the economic dire straits in which many Millennials find themselves. The "living in the parents' basement apartment and working part-time" lifestyle is not what young people went to college to accomplish.
Quite a few must have voted for the GOP in protest against the wretched-for-youngsters job market of the past several years.
