Young Republicans are a very, very important constituency. Along with little old ladies, they provide the foot soldiers for the Republican Party.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Traditionally, Young Republicans have been a leading indicator of the direction of the party.
And Republican women have always been the backbone of our party. We do the work, we are strong believers in conservative values. Having more of those voices in place at a state level is going to be a great improvement for us as a party.
The Republicans are, 'the party of the rich,' my mom said, 'We're poor, so we're Democrats.' That convinced me. I had no wish to remain poor, so I became a Republican at the age of 12.
My family was not Republicans. I'm the youngest. I came to this party based upon choice.
Political movements always belong to the young.
The Republicans need to work on registration and getting out their vote and their early voters and absentees. Grassroots stuff.
I don't see how a young American can vote for, well, can vote for a Democrat.
We have to be focused on growing the party and getting young people to see us as a viable option.
Republicans working in leadership and the trenches are largely old, white, male, out-of-touch, out of ideas, technology averse, and living in the past.
In my opinion, the Republican Party is the last on the list to care about the needs of old people and children and poor people.
