No one secures young voters. They ebb and flow every 15-30 years. They probably reached peak Dem in 2008 and will drift more and more to the center over the next several elections. Contrary to popular believe, the vast majority of people don't change their political views in any meaningful way after age 25. So, to the extent that we have realignments, it's the rise of a Democratic or Republican leaning generation that drives them. It would be a reasonable assumption for the country to gradually drift left until the Millennials are in their 50's, at which point the youth of that era will probably be voting heavily Republican.
