Young Americans: Most see Trump as illegitimate president
MSN AP ^ | March 18, 2017

WASHINGTON — Jermaine Anderson keeps going back to the same memory of Donald Trump, then a candidate for president of the United States, referring to some Mexican immigrants as rapists and murderers. "You can't be saying that (if) you're the president," says Anderson, a 21-year-old student from Coconut Creek, Florida. That Trump is undeniably the nation's 45th president doesn't sit easily with young Americans like Anderson who are the nation's increasingly diverse electorate of the future, according to a new poll. A majority of young adults — 57 percent — see Trump's presidency as illegitimate, including about three-quarters of blacks and large majorities of Latinos and Asians, the GenForward poll found.

GenForward is a poll of adults age 18 to 30 conducted by the Black Youth Project at the University of Chicago with the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

Be sure to watch Hannity’s report on Spring Break this week. Then let me know your thoughts.

Amateurs, compared to the Spring Breaks we had back in the 80s-90s.

The Kenyanesian Usurper (Kenyan raised in Indonesia) really was an illegitimate President who was not Constitutionally eligible to hold the office.

The schools have intentionally been dumbed down to produce a population that thinks Winston Churchill, the former King of Thailand and every anchor baby with no allegiance to the country is eligible to be President.

Grandson is enrolled at Oklahoma State University and was forced to take a class on diversity this semester. Professor clarified in the beginning that he would not allow the classroom discussion to become political but was simply to explore the differences and belief of different cultures. Of the 52 students in the class, only my grandson and two others voted for Trump. If this class composition is any indication, way more than the percentage polled is liberal. Oklahoma is a solidly conservative state but interesting to note that the county in which the college is located is one of the very few in the state whose State Representative is a Democrat. He won his last election by only a few votes, however.

“I’d post the photo here if it wasn’t Getty Images. Perfect set of millennial idiots hooked on their iPhones and busy exchanging liberal lies.”

It is a disturbing photo, but it’s a complete set up by a photographer. The millennials are paid models, and the whole scene is a construct of someone’s idea of ‘typical’ millennials ‘just hanging out’. It’s about as real as, and definitely as nauseating as any scene from that IQ reducing TeeVee show “Friends”.

GenForward - just review the signage and symbolism incorporated into the past 9 years of Democrat Party campaigning!

All of that imagery plants, and replants, this idea as representative of that Party.

Yet, in reality, however, Far Left domination of the Party, when enacted into policy and laws is anything but "forward" into anything except individual liberty, opportunity, wealth creation, and rule of law under a Constitution which limits government power.

Now, visit the CPUSA web site! See any similarities??

Enough said.

referring to some Mexican immigrants as rapists and murderers.

Here's a bitter pill for you, snowflake: some Mexican "immigrants" ARE rapists and murderers.

...he was duly elected under our system of elections, chosen by the electoral college, made up of electors chosen by voters in each state.

Quite right, but the electoral college and its function is a difficult and even unnecessary concept for a growing segment of young Americans who are not being taught to think critically. In this regard, PIF nails it.

The typical attitude of those who believe Trump is illegitimate:
"The only candidate I voted for was Clinton. It was her name in bold print for the office. The names of all those people who you say may or may not vote later for Clinton weren't even on the ballot. Sounds like a scam to me, doesn't my vote stand for anything?"

Then they are seriously under-educated about the political process in the United States.

Sheesh, my children basically grew up in Canada although they were born in Colorado.

They know more about the electoral system then apparently these kids do. I’ve explained it to them many times.

The Founders wanted people in less populated states to have a say who in who the president is.

Everybody in Canada, at least where I live, pretty much hates Trump.

My 21 year old son did not like him at first. But now he defends the president to his friends at college. He’s begun to admire President Trump.

I hate those jerks who brought over the slaves from Africa. Just think what this country would be like had that not happened. Same with the jerks who started America in the Vietnam war. Had that not happened we would not have as many Asian haters of America. And I hate the companies that are making a fortune on latinos so they can add dollars to their pockets.

All these jerks ruined America forever.
