Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) met with about 25 major Republican donors on Wednesday to discuss making changes to the 2016 Republican Party platform to draw in more young voters, including potentially changing the party’s approach to same-sex marriage.
All of the donors present had contributed the maximum $32,400 to the Republican National Committee, said Shaun McCutcheon, who was the lead plaintiff in this year’s landmark McCutcheon v. Federal Election Commission Supreme Court case.
“I heard them saying, these donors of the committee, that they really want to reach their own children,” McCutcheon told TheBlaze. “One of them had 15 grandkids. They feel like they’re not on board with the platform. They want to change the platform is what I heard so that we can reach their kids.”
McCutcheon, seated next to Paul at the head of the table, said the senator took numerous questions.

They had better damn well be listening to conservatives and constitutionalist... The Establishment GOP is no longer going to carry this sect of voter.
Social issues are keeping a whole generation of voter away from the Republican party.
I have 3 grand kids that just graduated from college or will be soon,all conseratives but their feelings about social issues differ from what us old timers have always thought to be unacceptable ways of thinking. We need to listen to and discuss the issues with the younger generation if this country is to have any chance of survival.
Gay marriage defeat is a sinking ship that is dragging the party down. Time to cut it lose and save the rest.
