    How is a 24 year old a former GOP leader? Like this dude has wrong written all over his face. How the fuck is he leadership material unless they’ve gerrymandered his bathroom into its own district?

      He was the party chairman for a single county, I doubt that’s any sort of elected position. I think progressives should take a page out of his book though, and get more young people involved and into leadership positions in the Democratic party, in order to push things to the left.
