What is cool is to focus on ideals, be clear about them and why they exist and what their vision is if fulfilled on and then follow it through. This is what young people are inspired by. If one sets down a set of principles and does the opposite it inspires nothing but cynicism. Time to talk the talk and walk the walk and not attract people with sugar—doesn’t last long. We want to think long term and act for the long term.
to play devil’s advoc- do you think some of the traditional/repub/conserv. ideas are perhaps antiquated? that they aren’t relevant anymore? that just based on the organic development of this country that “young people” just simply cannot connect with conservatism any longer? what if conservatives’ values are just not...valued any more? or is it just the perceived image of the GOP in this country that is done for?
