The newer or younger generation is where we lost last month. And until the GOP figures out how to reach those people, we won’t win the White House in 2016.
Jonathan Last has been writing some good articles on the unmarried generation that is growing and ascending. They don’t care about gay marriage, abortion, Libya, etc.
GOP needs to become much more libertarian to reach this group IMO.
Throwing away our principles is not the way to attract anybody...we tried that in the last two elections and you can see where it got us. Young people are like any other people, they vote for principles and the holders of those principles.
Romney consistently avoided any discussion of GOP social issues or even foreign policy objectives (if you recall, he kept saying he agreed with Obama on everything), so there were no principles even offered to young people.
Most of those that I know actually liked the social planks in the platform, but they didn’t vote for Romney because he obviously did not like those planks himself and scrupulously avoided them talking about them (and would not even let Ryan talk about them).
