This will come as no surprise to anyone, except those running the Republican Party, who ignored the warnings in 2012 and still do.
Your policies are unpopular.
This, according to a report by The College Republican National Committee which finds "young people have strong disagreements with Republican policies — including large parts of former candidate’s Mitt Romney’s platform — and are far more likely to support progressive positions."
You can read more here, but these are 11 of the examples the report cited:
- GOP economic policies are to blame for the recession.
- Lower taxes will not create jobs.
- Increase taxes in the wealthy.
- Stop attacking women and their reproductive health choices.
- Expand universal health care coverage.
- Provide comprehensive immigration reform.
- Cut the defense budget.
- Democrats are more responsive to student loans.
- Climate change is real.
- Bush's wars are responsible for the deficit.
- Marriage equality for all.
Sadly, these young Republicans will be sorely disappointed when the GOP forges ahead with the same policies and continues to ignore all of the above. As a matter of fact, don't look now kids, but Mitt Romney is back and can't wait to screw things up even further!
At the rate they're going, the Republican Party is on the verge of extinction as long as the crazies remain at the helm of the party.
To me, this begs the question to the College Republicans: Why are you still Republicans?
