I agree that the GOP can’t pander to young voters, because it comes across as insincere. But on the social things, if the GOP went a little bit more libertarian/federalist, it’d be able to tap into that group of young people who “just want to be left alone.” Issues like gay rights, legalization of marijuana, etc. should be state issues, and always state issues, and national GOP candidates should articulate that. It isn’t the federal government’s job to tell people how to run their lives, economically or socially. That’s a winning message both for the country and for the Republican Party.
Forget trying to find the “next Reagan.” Nobody will be Reagan. Let’s instead find solice in ideas, not figureheads. That’s what the Dems do.
