They didn't lower the voting age to 18 until 1971, so the youngest people who voted in 1968 will be 69 this year and the youngest who voted in 1972 will be 62. Silent majority lashed out at young people fucking and smoking weed. Seems pretty weird that Christie, who went to high school in North Jersey in the late '70s, is so anti-weed. At the very least, a large plurality of people his age smoked weed and the same thing applies to everyone younger than that. Would have never guessed that gay marriage would come ahead of pot legalization. Evoking Nixon/Agnew nearly 50 years after the fact seems really strange. The genie's long out of the bottle on social issues. Social warriors Huckabee, Santorum, and Carson are toast. Cruz is betting on those issues in the general, but a Kim Davis speaking gig at the GOP convention would be a mistake. Trump or Cruz could run up huge popular vote totals in AL and MS, but 80% in those states isn't nearly as valuable as 51% in OH or VA.
