The Article:<\/strong> Bill O\u2019Reilly pans college GOP report<\/a> by Katie Glueck in Politico.<\/p>\n

The Text:<\/strong> ox News host Bill O\u2019Reilly on Tuesday night got into a tussle with two spokeswomen for a college GOP report that outlines why Republicans lost the youth vote in November, asking why the party should \u201ccare about a bunch of kids who don\u2019t know anything.\u201d
\n\u201cThat sounds pretty immature, Ms. Smith,\u201d O\u2019Reilly told Alex Smith, the chair of the College Republican National Committee (CRNC), after asking why young people forgave President Barack Obama for the tough economy. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t sound like a very objective analytical opinion, for want of a better word. So why should I care about this study, or why should the Republican Party care about a bunch of kids who don\u2019t know anything, and they like the guy just because he\u2019s flashy?\u2026What message does that send to the GOP?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, to be quite frank, Bill, if the Republican Party really ignores younger voters, or continues to do so, we risk losing every national election in the future,\u201d Smith retorted.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Her comments on Fox News\u2019s \u201cO\u2019Reilly Factor\u201d came a day after the CRNC released a highly critical assessment \u2014 first reported by POLITICO \u2014 of how the GOP stumbled with young voters, and outlined steps for improvement.<\/p>\n

O\u2019Reilly\u2019s biting comment came after Kristen Soltis Anderson, the principal author of the 95-page report, said their research found that young people believed Obama was \u201ctrying\u201d to improve the economy.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know how you [win young voters] when economic issues on the Democratic side are dismal and younger voters don\u2019t accept that as long as somebody is \u2018trying,\u2019\u201d O\u2019Reilly said.<\/p>\n

When Smith said that the Republican Party must do a better job of reaching young voters \u2014 through the Internet, for example \u2014 O\u2019Reilly rejoined, \u201cso we have to have a Republican candidate who tweets?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know what it comes down to, ladies?\u201d O\u2019Reilly concluded, interrupting Soltis Anderson, who was outlining why the GOP needs to better explain its problem-solving abilities in order to be competitive. \u201cA charismatic candidate who can reach younger people and use words they understand. It comes down to personality. That\u2019s what it comes down to.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
