Papantonio: Where Are The Young Leaders?

This segment originally aired on the October 13th, 2013 episode of Ring of Fire on Free Speech TV. The Democratic Party is beginning to suffer from a severe lack of young leaders. As Republicans recruit more and more youthful candidates, they could start taking away a huge chunk of Millenial voters. Ring of Fire’s Mike Papantonio talks about this problem with Farron Cousins, executive editor of The Trial Lawyer Magazine.

House and I believe more will be coming through in 2014 and 2016. The Senate, as a whole, normally has older people serving in its ranks. Most of them are old white dudes.

Lastly, who do you think are sitting in the offices, working for the candidates to be elected. Do you think these "old people" are maintianing their twitter or facebook accts or "online presence"? Do they seem to have boot camp, training seminars in Dominionist churches, no, but they certainly have pissed off enough young people with their inability to move forward at the speed we have become accustomed to. I'm not sure Hillary will or will not be the next President, but to say we don't have young people activating or becoming involved in this country is ridiculous.
