As more and more Americans enter the 65-and-over bracket, this constituency will pull inexorably leftward on entitlements. They’re well-informed, they turn out to vote, and there are more of them every day. Old people know where their bread gets buttered.
Does this look good for the GOP? Umm, no. The small-government conservatives that exist in Republican fables have no idea or interest on how to govern an aging population.
The GOP has already driven away young voters, alienated blacks, Hispanics, and virtually the entire Northeast. They still have old white guys in the South.
That may be enough to sustain a cable news channel and occasional victories, but not a long term strategy for a National Party.
