i think it's a big question right now because obviously know in during barack obama and barack obama was president and when was elected we had an electorate that was very strongly polarized on grounds. you know he he was somebody who represented a demographic generational change in the country we not have that dynamic in this election at all in any way. so it's a very different political dynamic what than what we're used to. i think ultimately question of of young voters is is one you can't really separate from the racial dynamics because, you know, frankly, you've got a majority of american youth or close a majority of american you americans under 40 who are nonwhite. we've almost reached the point where the majority of births in the united states are nonwhite. so at the same time, you have an older generation that is predominantly white. so think that this if if trump better among voters of color in this election that's almost certainly going to mean he will have done better among younger and there was some evidence and particular that those are the voters really up for grabs in bo

then senator barack obama irritated the clinton campaign in massive way when he noted that reagan changed the trajectory of america, a way that bill clinton did not. he irritated clinton campaign most of all because, it was quite clear that obama was right that reagan changed things in a way that later democratic presidents before obama did not. well, was about reagan that changed things more. anything else? it was the force, his rhetoric. the great historian wilentz has said of reagan that above all reagan supporters, unlike that what reagan did was give his supporters and battered democrats and the disgraced republican establishment a compelling way to the disorienting, often dispiriting trends of the 1970s. now, at this point, i've laid out the importance of reagan's ideas, and i've laid out the importance of the speech. but there are two things that are puzzling about the speech. the first is that while reagan small government, conservative, has consistently those ideas never particularly popular even before he was elected. let me give you the polling on whether the country wanted les

so, for example, when barack obama runs for president in 2008, he is opposed to same sex marriage. he says that he believes that marriage is between one man and one woman. now, by the end of his eight years later, not only has obama become a full throated supporter of same sex marriage, but also the supreme court of the united states has to legalize same sex marriage nationally and any evangelical or christian who in 2016 holds the view that barack obama held in 2008 is now regarded a bigot or worse and they are not welcome in polite company. they are they are a deplorable they are an irredeemable. they are someone who is on the wrong side of history and that they are part of the sort of demographic death spiral that once we get rid of them, we will be able to move into a new, enlightened era in america. and i think that as one example of many has fueled this sense of persecution, of marginalization and a feeling that these people, as donald trump likes to say in his speeches, he talks to evangelical audiences that they are under siege, that barbarians are at the gates and i think
