Dan Crenshaw: the secret weapon for GOP with Millennials?

Post by Termite »

In a Republican Party in desperate need of younger, more vibrant voices, Dan Crenshaw might be exactly what the GOP is looking for.

When the 34-year-old who nearly died on a battlefield in Afghanistan six years ago surged to a stunning victory on Tuesday night, he didn’t just win the party’s nomination in a Republican Primary battle for Congress that few thought he could win. He became a potential star on the national stage because of his war-hero story and a charisma that is drawing younger voters.

“It’s so exciting to have fresh faces emerging like Dan who will lead the Republican Party forward into the next generation,” said Jack Pandol, a spokesman for the National Republican Congressional Committee. “Wise political observers will start keeping an eye on Dan right now, because he has a bright future.

I think SNL may have clinched Crenshaw's victory by making fun of his eyepatch.

Mr. Crenshaw, should he win, ought to make a point of thanking Pink-Hair Petey and the SNL writing staff by name in his victory speech.

I started a separate thread on that. Mods, feel free to merge.
There must be an end to this intimidation by those who come to this great country, but reject its culture.

Notice all the Republicans not rioting and protesting at some losses... interesting.
