The young "gamer republican" and the people wooed by flashy Milo types really helped push him over in the rust belt last time. How out of date that sounds now just shows how much he's lost that group.
His calculation is wrong. There's a few remaining bowties in the under 30 group but now probably not more than any other time.
Lucky for him the democrats are profoundly incompetent and would find a way to trip over their own shoelaces while walking barefoot so it may not matter.
I welcome the continued missteps
