Young Republicans confirm that their peers hate Republicans

So the college Republicans commission a report to find out why their peers hate their party so much, and we can sit there and laugh that they spent money to discover the obvious:



But there were some nuggets of good info in there, such as one-quarter of young voters won't even consider voting for a candidate who holds anti-gay views. I'm telling you, the millennials are changing this country for the better. On the other hand, we can go back to laughing when we see how these young Republicans react to that info:

Ha ha ha ha ha ha! Have they taken a look at their party recently? They can't "promote diversity" because the very word "diversity" is anathema to the GOP. Witness GOProud's inability to exhibit at CPAC, lest the party's Christianists boycott the event. And they are absolutely the party of "fend for yourself." Where do you think that "43 percent" shit comes from, or the "you didn't built that" hysteria of 2012?

What these college Republicans are asking for would sever the GOP—excising its largest block of foot soldiers (evangelicals) for the potential promise of future support from young poor-performing voters, not to mention voters of color and single women.

This isn't a party that will suffer short-term pain for long-term advantage. It's not about to excommunicate the very people that are killing it.
