The new face of the GOP
By Gabriel Noble
Thanks to a bloodbath in the midterm elections, Republicans now control both the House and Senate, and they are setting their sights on the White House for 2016. They are undoubtedly energized by young and diverse representatives such as Mia Love, the first African American Republican woman in the House, and Elise Stefanik, the youngest woman to be elected to Congress.
In West Virginia, Saira Blair won a seat in House of Delegates, becoming the nation’s youngest elected state legislator.
Blair and her father, state Sen. Craig Blair, sat down with Yahoo Global News anchor Katie Couric to discuss her inspiration to run, her historic win, and hope for her generation in the political process. “My generation is going to have $17 trillion of debt on our hands. And we deserve at least one vote in the House of Delegates. Because we shouldn't have to wait until we're 30, 40, 50 or 60 to understand the importance of conservative principles,†Blair said.
Raffi Williams, deputy director of the Republican National Committee, is tasked with spreading the Republican message to the younger generation. Borrowing the strategy of President Barack Obama’s groundbreaking Internet campaign, he says, “We have a new digital and data program that is … using social media and leveraging it to target voters in new ways.â€
And then there are online news sites, such as the Independent Journal Review with over 24 million views monthly, that reach millennials and bring them up to speed in politics and culture on an entertaining way.
She's 17 years old!!! Obviously brought up by good parents. :cheersmate:

Despite the lopsided grin on Couric's face, you know that she was shuddering inside. The idea that a 17-year old, who isn't even old enough to vote yet, can be elected to public office and who isn't a DhimmiRat -- well, that's just enough to make Couric's blood run cold.
She's a card-carrying proglodyte.
Suck on it, Katie. :bird:

I sure hope Blair is a rock ribbed conservative who holds all conservative views on every issue.
I also hope Blair knows better than to ever trust or agree with a lib.

If Couric were still on NBC or CBS she would have never done this story.
