Hunkered behind a MacBook decorated with stickers that read "This laptop was brought to you by capitalism" and "TRUMP 2016," Jake Lopez bounces T-shirt slogans off his friend Ian McIlvoy.
"Trumplicans," he says, nodding with satisfaction. "I think it'll take off."
Lopez is the California director of Students for Trump. Working from his dorm at Westmont College, he helps marshal the thousands of students who are pounding out phone calls, taping up fliers and blanketing Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat in an effort to persuade their peers that Donald Trump is the man.
Although vastly outnumbered nationwide by left-leaning classmates chanting "Feel the Bern," the youngest supporters of the GOP front-runner say they are similarly inspired by the hope of a radically different future and eager to support a leader who strikes them as anti-establishment and willing to speak his mind.

According to “Byron the Aussie” or whatever his name is, every single active duty, retired, veteran, ROTC, Civil Air Patrol and National Guardsman has already sworn fealty to Don Trump.

I thot you were supposed to courtesy ping the person being discussed?
So you’re a re-tread?
A racist act of the worst kind; self inflicted by the snowflake herself.
Not a retard. Just an observer. With a good memory.
Wait, I thought Hannity said Trump just had THE WORST WEEK EVER!?
LOL. If that’s Trump’s worst week ever, let’s have more of them :-)
LOL, I was speaking personally to you, but you knew that.
“More than 5,000 students in 200 chapters in 38 states are publicly on board. Fifteen chapters have taken hold in California, on campuses including UC Santa Barbara and USC.”
Excellent!
Yes, I did. I was just noting that every other living veteran has already endorsed him, so what do you need me for?
But I was referring to that particular vet I had responded to. Glad to hear your aboard though.
Let's all just hope it's Trump!!!!
“Solo, when you melt away a snowflake what is left? There must be something.”
