    In true Republican fashion however, they’ve flubbed it. The youth is overwhelmingly for Democrats and outright loathes Republicans. Either controlling the poor hasn’t turned out that effective for them*, or it’s too early to see results. And in the meantime, they’re killing their already aging and dwindling base.
