This is condescending. It is again an insult to the young adults in the USA. Just like the Uncle Sam health care slam.

Young people in the USA know their own lives. They not only know their own lives, they can organize to bring attention to them. This is insulting. It pretends young women are shallow and all about themselves. This also sets aside the fact that many young couples don't have a living wage and can relate to an expensive wedding. The biggest expense young couples have today are their college loans, the lack of opportunity in the jobs they are educated to rise to and balancing their desire for a family against their minimum wage incomes.

This generation has been abandoned by 40 years of Republican policy. They came out of their higher education opportunity to nothing. There were no opportunities for them. That is an entire generation ignored by government, except, if they want to go into the military. Does anyone actually think these young people are this shallow? I don't.

This ad is simply something to stir up the base, if there such a thing as a young Republican base.
