In reply to the discussion: Obama is going to lose young people if he doesn't reverse at least some of his surveillance policies [View all]treestar
(82,383 posts)57. You mean he's going to lose in 2016?
He lost those young people in 2010 too and was losing them in 2012, yet somehow he did not lose in 2012. But the media has frequently assured us that the latest poutrage has lost him their support.
So maybe it's a media orchestrated thing. They figured it worked in 2010.
