Flake: Young People Are Running Away from the GOP ‘At a Dead Sprint’ Right Now’

‘I think they’ve been walking away from the party in general’

RUSH EXCERPT:
FLAKE: "I would agree with that. And I agree with Ileana in terms of where the Republican Party is going and the danger. If you look, every four years, every presidential election cycle, we are, as country 2 percent less white. You know, voters of color, it’s changing that way. And I don’t think that we’ve made enough of an effort, as Republicans, to appeal across the broader electorate. And then with young people as well. Given some of the position and the behavior that the president has exhibited, I think it makes it very difficult for young people to identify with the Republican Party. I think they’ve been walking away from the party in general. I think they’re at a dead sprint right now and we’ve got to change that."
