I agree with this especially in 2016. But since 2018 there has been a shift. There are way too many Republicans switching over or willing to protest vote this time. Nikki Haley was still getting hundreds of thousands of votes months after she dropped out in the primaries. Another thing is Trump doesn't have a statistical advantage of the 65+ age group how he had 8 years ago. And with regards to the polls, there have been dozens of trash polls that have been released that are funded by Republicans that are oversampling the R. It saturates the averages that they like to tout without going into specific details or the crosstabs lol. I wouldn't look at the polls, I tend to pay attention to the trends.
I don’t know about this quote but he’s well known. He fought vigorously against ObamaCare. He’s no longer with Home Depot.I saw this same tweet earlier this morning, did some research and I couldn't find this CAC's name in any article/news post earlier than June 2024
This might be cap.
Also, I think that there are plenty of younger voters that are being unaccounted for by polling, too. I know a good many people that wouldn't bother picking up their phone to answer a poll that are absolutely ready to vote like their lives depend on it. I promise you that traditional polling is not getting a proper cross-section of young voters.
You're onto something. But I have purposely neglected to mention it since I don't have an answer for why younger voters, melinnials in particular, don't vote on par with other age groups. When I see that start happening, then I'll start to get excited.

But to further the point, @easy_b mentioned something that I had to go look up and research for myself because I was in disbelief. He said that we have lost 20M Boomers since 2016 aka Trump's largest voting block. It turns out he was correct.
I've seen Anthony Scaramucci say we've lost the same amount but since 2020 and have been replaced by Mellennials. I don't know about the first part but the second part has been backed up by this study:
Millennials overtake Baby Boomers as America’s largest generation
As of July 1, 2019, Millennials have surpassed Baby Boomers as the United States' largest living adult generation.
Now the only trick is if we can mobilize these jokers to show up in the numbers that the 65+ age group has historically came out to vote then we'd be seeing supermajority type election nights for every Mid Term, General or Special elections. lol
Just my $0.02.
