Hillary is so "yesterday" to them. She was their parent's favorite Marxist. With Warren, they have a Marxist to call their own.

I am really proud of my alma mater Dartmouth College today — and not because they recently banned hard liquor on campus. (That has its pluses and minuses.) From The Daily Mail [1]:
If Dartmouth College students have the same inflated influence on presidential politics that they’ve traditionally enjoyed, Hillary Clinton has some long days ahead in New Hampshire.
Of a randomly selected group of 50 students who said they followed presidential politics enough to comment, just nine told Daily Mail Online that the former secretary of state would make a good U.S. chief executive.
Hillary’s detractors were far more passionate than her fans – a potential problem since she needs a repeat of her grassroots-driven upset 2008 victory here in order to solidify her status as the Democrats’ standard-bearer.
Stacey Benton, a government major from Florida who leans Republican, said a President Hillary Clinton is ‘just going to continue a lot of things Obama has been doing.’
‘There hasn’t been much good in Obama’s foreign policy,’ Benton added.
She called Clinton ‘grizzled’ from a life in politics and said that ‘just because she’s a woman doesn’t mean she should be president.’
Bravo, Stacey, and bravo, Dartmouth. Maybe those high SAT scores mean something after all. It also could be that after years of tedious Boomer BS, undergraduates are starting to wake up and rebel in the opposite direction. That’s what youth does. (BTW, this is a small poll but on a percentage basis of the Dartmouth community not so small.) The Daily Mail continues:
Twenty-two of the 50 Dartmouth students interviewed on Sunday mentioned the deadly 2012 terror attacks in Benghazi, Libya as a black mark on Clinton’s record.
Many of them, like freshman Cameron Poole, weren’t old enough to drive when it happened.
‘I think there was blood on her hands,’ Poole told Daily Mail Online, referring to Clinton’s handling of an Islamist terror group’s military-style assault that laid waste to a State Department facility.
It seems like she wants the job more than she would be good at it.Dartmouth College student Robert Stackhouse on Hillary Clinton’s presidential ambitionsHe said he believes Clinton’s performance before, during and after should disqualify her from holding higher office.
Indeed, as Monsieur Reynolds would say.
They are waiting for Fauxahontas.
That was my first reaction: they certainly haven't suddenly morphed into Cruz-aders, Walkerites, or Santoreans.
If they are STEM types for any college, they, probably have measurable IQs.
Of not, it’s a roll of the dice - Ivy League or not.

I guess that's ok. It's not on the list.
Can we use “corrupt”?

I’ve been writing this for a month.....No one wants their grandmother for president.
Yep. My nephew’s at KU and none of the kids there want Hitlary - they want Liawatha or Castro.
Everything they've done in the past quarter century or more has been with the idea of gaining ultimate power...for both of them. The only blip was the almost equally conniving Obama duo.
Obama's two terms might have cost Her Royal Heinous her rightful place (or is that leftful place) in the Oval Office. Soon to be Ovaries Office.
KU as in Kansas?
If so, I thought the state was conservative...
Or that guy who looks so cool on the tee shirt-what’s his name, Che Something? Isn’t he a Hispanic, like Ted Cruz?
Warren is proof that libs are far better schemers and scammers than conservatives.
This sounds good at first read, but while they found 50 students who felt confident enough to comment, there are thousands who don't follow politics who will vote for Hillary anyway.
‘just because she’s a woman doesn’t mean she should be president.’
Absolute freaking Nobel prize winning stuff, there.
Guess how they’ll vote.
Clinton is so yesterday.... hell, Hillary is not yesterday... she is so last century. :-)
Yes Dartmouth is waiting for Squaw Speaking Bull to run.
