That's science, not politics. Scientists don't abandon all they've ever believed and switch to the opposite. Voters do. Why is that? I'm merely suggesting you get some personal experience so you can begin to understand. "We're going to win, just as soon as enough Republicans die of old age" is for fools and young people.

> Let’s say we did a random sample of the adult population of Ohio in 1985. In that poll, we found that 55% of people identified as politically conservative and 35% were liberal, with the remaining 10% indicating that they were ideologically moderate. Then, we did another poll of adults in Ohio forty years later. This time we found that conservatives were just 35% and liberals had jumped up to 55%. What could possibly explain that kind of shift?
