I know this is anecdotal evidence, but I'm seeing more and more young people becoming disillusioned with not just BHO but government in general.

I don't see them warming to Hillary, either. This is a group that can be for the taking.

“This is a group that can be for the taking.”

Mostly they are inchoate, small ‘L’ libertarians. They are deeply suspicious, having been lied to so much, and for them to buy into conservatism are going to have to be persuaded of the healthy and life affirming aspects of traditional human norms. They are not going to be impressed with pinch lipped dogmatism or censoriousness.

They are up for persuasion, not grabs.

The Republican Establishment will manage to alienate them all over again before the election.

They certainly should be ripe for the taking, but the disillusionment itself is a problem; I’m surprised at how many of these people don’t vote, and how they don’t believe they can make a difference. I suspect that Dems are quite content to have these unemployed young voters with no future stay home on Election day.
