| Description | Today’s confident predictions of a new era of Democratic dominance all seem to ignore the one decisive demographic development that strongly favors the Republicans: the rapid, unstoppable graying of America.
Voters above 60 already easily outnumber those below 30, and with low birthrates and lengthening life spans, this imbalance will only grow.
