It's a known fact that Republicans haven't polled well with young voters for years. This has grown to the point that young voters have really carried the 2020 and 2022 elections.

Just think for a moment about Jeb, Ben, Mike, Ted, Marco, Rand, Chris, Bobby, Lindsey and Carlie for a minute. (Extra credit for the two Ricks). Tell me that they aren't thinking about another run but hesitating, hoping Trump goes to jail.

Say what you will about Trump, and we've all said it, he pulled off perhaps the greatest con in history with his very first run for any office in getting elected President of the richest and most powerful nation in the world.
