What about the young people who vote Republican? Is there such an animal? Is the Republican party attracting the youth vote at all? I'm so curious about how Bernie attracted them. It wasn't about the Dem party, it was about what his message was all about. The Republican party doesn't appear to do anything to attract the young vote, or the female vote for that matter.

They aren't attracting young people nearly as well as they need to be because their party has gone off the deep end. Many GOP voters will not tolerate the changes needed to make their party more appealing.

I'm a firm believer that the GOP has effectively lost the Millennial generation and that their only hope is to successfully woo Generation Z, when the time comes. However, that generation will be even more diverse and Republicans will need to solve their issues with non-white voters to have a real impact. Social issues will continue to be a wedge as well.

They need to make big changes, not just repackage the same crap in hopes they can fool them. It is either this or pray the next generation naturally gravitates towards them for some unknown reason. This is not likely nor a wise plan ('plan' as in do nothing and hope for the best)

Bernie attracted them with free college, 1% pay their fair share, and government programs. These kids all had free college. Their parents paid for it. They have no sense of reality so that explains the Bernie coalition for the young white vote.

I'm a 24 year old white male. Staunch Republican. We young Republicans exist but are very far and few between. We typically come from conservative, working class families who taught us there's no such thing as a free lunch growing up. This is true for myself and my few Republican friends. My liberal friends, well, mom and dad are rich and they do whatever they want.

How do you know they all had free college? I don't understand why you have to be so demeaning. Just because people believe in a strong welfare state doesn't mean they are irresponsible freeloaders.

Thanks for the insulting and snobby post, I guess.
