If I were to form any conclusion from Chris Christie's group of young fans waiting for a picture with him, despite him having been booed by the crowd at large, it would be that perhaps the next generation of this voting block is done with Trump. Like Trump is perceived to be, despite his rampant lies, Christie comes across as an unabashed truth-teller. That perception of Trump made him very appealing to people. Hopefully Christie continues his tell-it-like-is-consequences-be-damned approach and further cultivates support amongst the next generation. MAGA may dominate the party today, but they won't live forever.

Could it be that they think Trump is too old, an embarassing loopy Grandpa? Christie is more likely their fathers' ages and, combine that with his rhetoric, he is a more obvious/attractive choice?

As demonstrated by Trump's political success, anything is possible. It would've been nice if someone spoke to them to understand their thoughts.
