I think it's a fine starting point if Republicans haven't been job creators for 35 years which is almost the entire millennial generation. What a bleak view, honestly.

I am 38, grew up in WI, spent the majority of my life in various Midwestern states, and for over a decade now have lived in Boston. I always say that, ignoring everything else (which is a lot), I have never seen a Republican governing body ever do anything but make life worse--be it state or federal. I have no experience of Republicans as anything but utterly incompetent failures at statescraft.
