Republicans=Tea Party. I have two thought on the Tea Party with regards to the millenials..First dont trust anyone over 30.
The other is Fool Me Once Shame on You, Fool Me Twice Shame on Me. Why would a millenial trust a Tea Partier? These are the same folks who want to hold their heads underwater and drown them according to Grover Norquist.

Did a bunch of old ladies from the tea party beat you up? Good grief, give it a rest, you are obsessed.

It could happen yet if Elizabeth Warren got the Democratic nomination and Rand Paul got the Republican nomination.

Gay marriage is a non issue now, What does my generation care more about?

Gay marriage or gas prices?
Gay marriage or border security?
Gay marriage or school choice?
Gay marriage or States Rights?
Gay marriage or lower taxes
Gay marriage or jobs?
Gay marriage or improving the economy?
Gay marriage or Gun Rights?

Gay marriage is not on the major issues that affect our lives..

You forgot Tea Party equals Republican. The Tea Party is a bunch of Republican clowns dressed up pretending to be libertarians and supporting gay rights, abortion, legalization of marijuana, etc. You are in fact probably a Tea Partier and oppose abortion, gay marriage, etc...

It is a major issue since it affects their lives.

Honestly I don't hold out much hope for either. The establishment of both parties will give us a choice between Clinton and one of the establishment republicans. I hope you're right and I'm wrong.

No, I'm far worse, I'm an evil veteran who is disabled. I get my medical for free because I was disabled in your democrat war in Vietnam. Yes, I am one of the evil ones that you so despise. That you fear and make you wake up screaming in the middle of the night. I am also old enough to draw Social Security so I am a double threat to you. I only have contributed for 48 years and how dare I expect to draw any return from my contributions. Yes, I am clearly your enemy..
