George Conway, husband of White House counselor Kellyanne Conway, on Thursday tweeted polls results cited by The Weekly Standard showing young conservatives backing a primary challenge to President Donald Trump in 2010.
Here's Conway's post:
In analyzing March survey results by the Pew Research Center, commentator Ben Shapiro argued that young conservatives "are more likely to see Trump as an obstacle to progress."
Despite his policy successes, "they see him mainly as a club the left can wield against the right in perpetuity."
In addition, "younger conservatives judge Trump on his values," Shapiro said.
They "still feel that the battle over character is unfolding, which it is — among young Americans.
"Young Americans," Shapiro argued, "are still trying to decipher which party best reflects their moral values.
"Trump presents a serious problem for young conservatives trying to make the character argument in favor of the Republican Party.
"Young conservatives didn't see the battle of 2016 as a battle in which character had already lost," Shapiro said. "They saw it as presenting a question about their own character.
"Were they willing to stand enthusiastically with a man they personally abhorred?" he posed.
"The answer, by and large, was no."
