The Republican brand is still alive and well, Rep. Mike Pence said on Fox News Sunday. When asked by Chris Wallace what “conservative solutions” the GOP would bring to their current minority-party status, Pence said social issues like “the sanctity of marriage” will remain the backbone of the Republican platform.

The most pronounced divide over the same-sex marriage ban was between the state’s youngest and oldest voters. Six in 10 voters under 30 were against the measure.

Now, people’s views can and do change as they age, but something tells me that on this issue those under-30s represent the coming consensus. If the GOP leaders believe that preserving the “sanctity of marriage” (as they define it) is the right thing to do, then they should try to do so, but to believe that it will be a vote winner for much longer, well . . .
