G2, in answer to your question "Where are the young people?" The pollsters in the democratic party are well aware that the young people no longer can be relied upon to support the Dems. There has been a significant shift in the political concerns of the young in America in the last 8 years. An important shift away from the Dems' policies.

There is no explanation coming forth from the Dem. pollsters as to why this shift has occurred. Some have whispered that the shift might be related to the saturation of the use of the modern smart phones during that 8 year period. The smart phone came onto the market only about a decade ago. The youth of today have known no other world but the one of the electronic screen and what it is they learn from it. This is an artificial world, from the point of view of anyone over 19 years old. If you are 20 or older, you were socialized into a different world. A world I would call "the real world."
It is not, therefore, a surprise that a gap exists between the youth of America and the adults. Young people no longer support the Dems. The leadership of both parties is geriatric and out of touch. Chuck Schumer just demonstrated it. But it is undeniably true that even though Trump is old and one of the wealthy elite; he is great at lying to the public and saying all the right things. His performance at the state of the union address was a masterpiece of the art of the flummox. It was as spellbinding as it was phony and effective. Especially among the uneducated working class voters and the young. He has them all in his hands.
Added to this is the undeniable fact that even when the Dems had the ability to give people good policy; they failed to do so, for the last two generations.
I do not dare predict the future. But I suspect the economy will collapse in the next 6 to 12 months. According to the time-tested theory of Keynesian economics all the signs are in place. The big investors in the stock exchanges are all liquidating their holdings. China, France and other Countries are buying gold like mad, the price of it has skyrocketed and the U.S. economy has been sliding downhill since Trump's election. The world economy is unstable. A deep depression could change everything; for the better, or for the worse.
