I actually think he could start to get some traction with young people.

The problem is this.

The older people get, the more they tend to fall into the rat holes the republicans and main stream media put out.

So, while young people get pissed off at how government is bought and paid off by big money.

85% of the country is following around the Benghazi and OBAMA WON'T CALL ISIS ISLAMIC EXTREMIST clownshow bullshit like love starved puppies.

The "adults" are bickering over guns and how gay people having the temerity to hold hands in public, while eagerly lapping up their government based benefits on one hand while being enraged about all those takers taking on the other.
