CPAC Looks To 14-Year Old For Conservative Leadership

Jonathan Krohn has some heavy ideas for these Republican parts, and he’s even written a book on them, Defining Conservatism. He told CNN reporters today that he considers himself a Conservative Realist, which is someone who bases their ideas in reality, not hyperbole. Which is a word that most kids his age are just learning the meaning of. Meet Jon Krohn, the 14-year old hope for the Conservative Party.

You know who Krohn reminds us of? That 21-year old superdelegate Jason Rae from the 2008 elections. And that guy was a good 7 years older that Krohn. And while it’s easy to make fun of a kid barely passed bar-mitzvah age wearing a suit and talking about the stimulus package and unemployment, he may be exactly what the Republican party needs…a shot of fresh blood. If only there could be someone in between the ages of puberty and granddad age to be the face of the party…we’re thinking Meghan McCain?
