I will never understand what part of Trump politics appeals to "young men" (or anyone).
The bloke is a loser, yet just keeps bluffing and grifting his way to the top. How is that a trait you want to emulate?
Even in the article the kid says:
.... When did this happen? In which particular series of words that fell out of Trumps mouth during one of his insane ramblings did old mate get the impression this is what happened? It's like seeing a portent in your bowl of spaghettios or something. Just because a brief moment of chance brought something together that appeared to make sense on the surface doesn't mean you should ignore the 99% that doesn't.
He's been around long enough such that young men have only ever known a world where Trump is the Republican nominee. Their world view is one where Trump is the normal.
Traditional conservative politicians are boring old men in suits. When they talk they put full grown adults to sleep. That was never appealing to young men barely able to sit still with raging hormones.
