Hispanics are about 65-70% Dem and growing due to things like what happened in CA (years ago), AZ, GA and other places.
Seniors give a shit about Medicare and don't believe that they won't lose some.
Medicare is the #1 loved government program ever. If you think boomers expect to get what we've paid into for 30-40 years, you're the delusional one.
If Ryan is anywhere near the ticket, Obama will get 350-400 EVs.
Medicare has always been pay-as-you-go...neither you or nor I have ever paid into anything.
As for Hillary...and this sounds bad...I just don't see the nation electing a 70 year old woman. Plus her negatives are down because she's not in the spotlight...put her out front and you'll see the negatives go back through the roof.
Plus I once heard one of the talking heads on CNN say that once the county elects a prez from one generation they rarely go back to a past generation to elect subsequent presidents. Dole and McCain being good examples. The next prez will be from Obama's generation or younger.
If I were the GOP I'd step back from Medicare and do nothing...propose nothing. Let the Dems fix it, and let them take the heat for reforming a program that has to be changed in a major way if it's going to endure.
