This is a reality tv world for younger people. Good or bad- thats what it is now. They have to be met on the social media that they use and in a way that they will pay attention and listen and learn. And thats exactly what donvict and his ilk know. And use. To their advantage. Dems are SO behind the curve in realizing this and need to change NOW.

My grandson and his friends would never listen to or be attracted by a measured, quiet delivery of information. We are losing the young people by being unwilling to meet them where and how they are.
