If there is one thing the Republican party is known for outside of political ideology, it is that the party recently has not made an impact on younger voters.

It has been said that one reason Barack Obama won the 2008 presidential election was his campaign's ability to connect with such voters.

Well, it appears right-wingers are trying to reverse course and get the Millennial generation involved. For the 2015 Conservative Political Action Conference, organizers thought it would be a good idea to tap into the power of social media and get conference participants to submit questions to be asked of Republican politicians.

While the #CPACQ did return some legitimate questions, it got far more sarcasm and cheek. Have a look of some of the funnier responses below.
