An inside look at the Young Republicans

The election of Audra Shay as the new chairman of the Young Republicans has sparked much controversy within the group. As reported in The Daily Beast:
“I’m (like many) still trying to decide whether to quit, or fight, or try to help repair our organization’s reputation, or if we even deserve repair…There are a lot of YRs who want to take our party back, but the name has been damaged so much now, I’m not sure we want it back. There truly are so many good people involved, but I feel the damage has been done by these few extreme bad apples.”
What do you all think of the 38-year-old and the recent election? Is she truly representative of the party or an “extreme bad apple” that’s doing more harm than good?
