The future of the GOP is at stake.
Kidder said groups like Turning Point likely do a better job of appealing to students who are interested in more than just the traditional, campaigning-style politics.
largest percentage of Hispanics in the country, Democrats hold all seats in Congress, the governor's office and both the state House and Senate. "Things like the Milo event where you have someone on stage that says inflammatory things that are in my opinion not even conservative," he said."It not only drives people away, but it also ignites the wrong kind of people."
Initially, Ronnau said, the divide among College Republicans was between those eager to embrace the president and those who wanted to embrace a more traditional model of conservatism instead. Those lines, he said, have now blurred. The split came down to differences in how to run the organization. The new group, the federation, now has 30 chapters and is recognized by the College Republican National Committee.
He did say he'd rather the group focus less on helping conservative students land political jobs, a traditional role for College Republican groups, and instead work to wage the"culture war." For instance, although he wouldn't say where he stood on issues such as same-sex marriage, he said generally men and women are better suited for different roles. And many group members oppose abortion rights.
Ronnau doesn’t see a return to the era of Republicanism that would be familiar to Mitt Romney- or John McCain-types. He said many young people support the president, and more young people will step up to continue to push the “right-wing populist agenda.”Columbus Day post rocks University of Maine
