Delorean in tow, Dan Crenshaw promoted a return to ’80s-era Republican Party principles during his third annual youth summit this weekend in Houston.

Among Generation Z — those born after 1996 — slightly more than half are non-Hispanic white, according to Pew Research. Twenty-five percent are Hispanic, 14% are Black, 6% are Asian, and 5% are some other race or two or more races.

Printed literature distributed to attendees at the third annual Crenshaw Youth Summit Sunday harkens back to Reagan-era Republican politics.“This is something that the GOP has struggled with for a long time,” said Brandon Rottinghaus, a University of Houston professor of political science and longtime observer of Southeast Texas politics. “I like to joke with my students that the current crop of Republican candidates put the ‘old’ in ‘Grand Old Party.

Crenshaw’s two-day conference was marketed to teenagers and young adults through their mid-20s, and featured many of traditional GOP talking points from Abbott, longtime conservative radio commentator Dennis Prager, National Review Editor Rich Lowry and Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillon, among others.

“It seems like, very recently, it’s been really hard for any side to make any change,” said Kevin Loewenstein, a 19-year-old Houstonian and self-described die-hard conservative. “We just keep going back to divide. It’s divide, divide, divide.”

Dan Crenshaw thinks there’s too much divisiveness…

😂😂😂😂😂 good

Y'all be careful if Matt Gaetz shows up.

The Hitler Youth should know that the fuhrer likes his subordinates to be at eachothers throats. Party history 101

Delorean? You mean the car that was financed by cocaine deals? Wow some principles there fellah….

Old Ted Cruz loves wrapping himself up in the American flag; but he was born a 'Canadian' and a 'Canadian' immigrant he'll remain because every time he sits down that pretty green birth certificate in his pocket will always be right there; between him and American soil.

Reagan was the architect of our current societal conflict.

Aw shit- During Reagan's presidency, the federal debt held by the public nearly tripled in nominal terms, from $738 billion to $2.1 trillion. This led to the U.S. moving from the world's largest international creditor to the world's largest debtor nation.

'Hey kids! Remember this 40-year old movie?'

They choose to forget the number of Admin staff in the Reagan era that went to jail.

Instead. Let's try trickle up this time.

To a time when the president’s schedule was set according to the advice of an astrologist 🙄

Was the 80s GOP sucking up to Russia/Soviet Union and praising their leader over our allies?

Union busting and funding Contras with cocaine smuggling abetted by the CIA?

I was a Republican in the 90's, DanCrenshawTX. I had a bunch of Young Republican friends. ALL of us evolved to become Democrats because the GOP is entirely comprised of BS and has NO interest in actual freedom. It's hollow, hate-filled, and destructive. I vote in ur district.

Why is the GOP always wanting to go the past? They have no ideas for making things better for the future. Ridiculous.

🙄

I'm sure they had a fun little Nazi youth fest.

Wait, cowardly, hypocrite Hollywood wannabe DanCrenshawTX wasn’t fantasizing about being Tom Cruise this time? He has another fantasy based on Back To The Past? Join us in this decade, leave your fantasies behind & govern for the people based on the law & your sworn oath.

Demonize the poor, hoodwink the middle class out of existence and coddle the rich doesn't really seem that promising.

Wait we got an immigration amnesty in the 80s so sure 😂

More GOP infighting!

Hard to take the party seriously with Trump, the My Pillow guy, and Qs being so prominent and loud.

Unlike you, I was a young Republican in the 80s, DanCrenshawTX. I could choose what happened to my body then.

Interesting. Hopefully his party follows suit. Starting with opposing Russian aggression and rooting for America. Which its dominant leaders do not.
