The reason many Millenials see no difference between the parties is the similarities between Democrats and RINOS.

Precisely. There were a lot of younger folks at our TEA party meetings, but when the 'pubbies (who were electable (arrrgh!) got the nominations and started acting GOPe, it was just same ol' same ol' to them, and they drifted away.

One of the stupidest things the stupid party has failed at is harnessing the inherent anti-establishment nature of youth (Because the stinking Liberals ARE the establishment!)

I don’t think it’s that, so much as it’s a fact that Congress isn’t able to get anything done with each party controlling one House. If the difference between Rinos and Dems was as minute as people often state in here, a lot more bills would be being passed and signed by the President.

Instead we have gridlock, which is good from our perspective, but which makes Congress (both parties) look ineffective and meaningless to less attentive voters, including the young.

Add to that the incessant drumbeat about Congress’s poor favorability rating by the MSM and it’s not surprising that young voters see very little difference between the parties.

But if the GOP takes the Senate in November, those same voters will see hundreds of bills sent to Obama’s desk, and will become quite angry when he refuses to sign many (most?) of them. That is when the GOP will have the best chance of attracting younger voters allegiance, an allegiance that could last if enough thought is put into the bills they send up.
