Nixon did better than that with the under 30s during the draft and the Vietnam war and with a hateful media, and all the other things people think of during the time.
We have all kinds of problems, youth, race, and Romney driving down turnout.
In 1968, Nixon got 43.4% of the popular vote compared to Romney’s 47.2%, so I doubt Nixon got a higher percentage of the white youth vote than Romney.
In the 1972 election, we had no combat troops in Vietnam, and the Draft ended 3 months later.
When I say we have a “race” problem, I mean we have a LEGAL immigration problem.
Since the Reagan Amnesty in 1986, we have naturalized 20 million new Socialist voters.
We have ONE problem...
