Cheney: GOP Needs New Generation of Leaders

Says Republicans "got whipped" in 2012

WASHINGTON (AP) — Dick Cheney said Sunday that Republicans need to look to a new generation of leaders as the party deals with poor approval ratings following the government shutdown.

The former vice president said Republicans have faced challenges before and it's healthy for the party to work to rebuild.

The GOP "got whipped" in the 2012 presidential campaign, when President Barack Obama won re-election overMitt Romney, and the party needs to build its base of supporters and find "first-class" candidates and turn to a new generation of leaders, Cheney told ABC's "This Week."
