Not once have I, or any Gen Xer I know, said "Boy, I hope the next president is from my generation."

As far as my Xer family, friends, and coworkers go, we couldn't care less on which generation is elected as long as they aren't fucking things up even more.

That's pretty fitting with Gen-X's reputation of being the generation that gave up on having influence on the state of the world. As a millennial constantly stressing about the impact I'm having on things, that sometimes sounds like a really sensible choice.
