Of late it is from the Gallup organization it shows that more people identify themselves as Democrats or said that they what independents who leaned towards the Democrats.

Joining us now -- -- -- -- before American majority actions.

Eight Citi if I'm nice that you represent young people on the -- when you're young -- you what do you like it or not you represented young people look at.

That and my question is if everybody think especially young people on drifting towards the Democrats.

Do you think that the GOP the Republicans should dump.

Social issues.

-- do think they should do that.

I think before we dropped off -- up on our principles why don't we actually start reaching out to people.

That problem is is this outlook coming out two months after the election.

And -- you know it's.

Inevitable that it's gonna be -- in support of the party who won the election but what do what the Obama machine is doing year round they are articulating their message very welcome all demographics.

And it you know very end there they you face to face.

Activities but wait a second wait a second it wasn't it obvious in the November election.

That's you know what why would young people vote.

But what I'm trying to I'm trying to focus you're correct -- look you've got a rotten economy.

Young people in college face a lousy job market they face overwhelming debt.

And yet they vote for someone who was just focusing on social issues but it.

Long -- only -- -- and a why when where was running out of college campus say is where Weinstein.

Concern does keep writing -- college campuses like they're a lot -- the bash is not the case we get it historic opportunity to win back a large chunk of the -- -- -- we would've just tried but you know the concern is just keep looking at -- camp says and what's going out and just keep writing them off and it but it -- people are just getting an earful from the lasting nothing from the right what are they gonna vote for courts are gonna vote for a final.

Believe it will waiters that waited sector where our young people it's just not that did you just don't understand that they needed job when their out of college and this administration.

Isn't gonna give a -- All all is this generation saying.

I'm gonna vote for the guy who's gonna forget my student debt.

Is that it.

No well the thing is we need to be articulating that message first of course they wanna job young people don't wanna be moving back into their parents' basements after college there aren't a constant get a job but the thing isn't that Ronnie wasn't articulating that message on college gives it you never I'm college -- -- hot candidate.

You know attacking Obama on the stuff Blake.

He's even I'm cause cancer that Obama is going to be -- Kansas talk about high you can stay on your parents' health care plan until you're 26.

-- should have been right there saying well if you're going to be staying on your parents' plan until you're 26.

You're going to be unemployed or under employed because Obama here incentivizes businesses -- requires businesses to provide health insurance for their employees.

Well so back to my original question you think the GOP should abandon social issues.

I don't think we should abandon social issues -- that I think we should we articulating and that's it and you know I'm.

-- -- -- -- -- Is certain demographics accidentally say I'm out of time but but we appreciate being with us we've got to pursue this because I find the youth -- just fascinating -- -- -- I was going with the -- -- just -- I very much indeed thank you for having and so that's one of the -- I don't trust Gallup at all inmates when he -- they said nearly half of America's identifies economically conservative.

And more identified themselves as conservative and social issues and -- liberal issues the Gallup is all over the map but that's.

-- -- -- you've often said that the GOP should just get out there and go.

Act target community to see this article -- what I'm saying I mean you know you can quibble with the dead as you can quibble with the rationale.

For why someone they feel the way they fill but it won't change what marketing.

And and and and you could even argue with a little logic it's just not gonna change that way unless they get really down and explain to people the way they can understand.

That this is this is not a gift that you can that you go up your first job interview 27.

As to what and in fact it's a -- time despite its own maybe that helps thought we.
