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.”
 
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:

"Timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of Liberty." - Thomas Jefferson

"All you have to do is look straight and see the road, and when you see it, don't sit looking at it - walk!" -Ayn Rand
 
"Those that trust God with their safety must yet use proper means for their safety, otherwise they tempt Him, and do not trust Him.  God will provide, but so must we also." - Matthew Henry, Commentary on 2 Chronicles 32, from Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible

"These anti-gun fools are more dangerous to liberty than street criminals or foreign spies."--Theodore Haas, Dachau Survivor

Chase her.
Chase her even when she's yours.
That's the only way you'll be assured to never lose her.

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.
There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.

If  Couric were still on NBC or CBS she would have never done this story.
Tea Party = Lower Taxes, Small Government, intent of the Founding Fathers
Democrats = Gay Marriage, Abortion, High Taxes, Big Government
Clarity. It's a beautiful thing.
