The Republican Party is "growing more and more irrelevant to America's young people. In marked contrast, young people's support for the President has expanded beyond the 66 percent support they gave him last November."Any young person who has grown up during 9/11, the Iraq War and Katrina can see the Republicans are hardly a winning brand. No one likes losers and the party of "no" have a massive record to contend with.
"Republicans struggle among young people for a very specific reason. At a time when young people are paying close attention to politics and when so many are struggling economically, even more so than older generations, the Republicans simply do not speak to the reality of their lives or to the issues important to them. This perception stands in marked contrast to their reaction to Barack Obama."
9/11 showed us all they had no idea about defending the United States and subsequently had no need for the Constitution in making decisions regarding our freedoms. They said no to all our civil liberties and wire-tapped and data-mined the enire country.
The Iraq War showed they had no planning or mission and had no respect for the civilians of the Middle East. They said no to the Rule of Law, the Geneva Conventions and Habeas Corpus. It also showed they had no way to pay for the war so they hid it from the annual budgets.
Kartina showed they had no remorse for letting a city go through hellish times and had no intention of helping the citizens of the Gulf coast after the destruction. They sad no to hiring qualified people to run Government Agencies like FEMA.
So after 8 years of no clue and no success, the current GOP continues to have no ideas whatsoever and just says "no" to everything the other side has to offer, sight unseen. They have been reduced to one syllable for this next generation to remember them by. That's branding!
The Republicans are on the precipice of becoming irrelevant and do I care: no.
