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.

Well, Jermaine, when I was your age I was a qualified nuclear propulsion plant electrical operator teaching 19 year olds how to operate a submarine nuclear plant. You are still a child, thinking childish thoughts. Accomplish something and then your stupid opinions may change. Or you will remain a man-child and will never give up you stupid ideas.

I wonder if they know the meaning of “illegitimate.”

Then they need more education in our political system.

They don’t understand how our government works.

But not surprising considering the vast majority of them are publicly educated.

They will change their attitudes once they grow up and have to part with their own money to pay for the liberal insanity they now love so much.

Polls are done by liberal groups or the MSMLSD or Democrat pollsters.

I agree with you on that. My teenage kids are big Trump fans and their friends also appear to be Trump supporters.

The first sentence is absolute garbage - a distortion of what was said and a conflation of legal and illegal immigrants/aliens.

Go to 4chan where almost everybody is very young:

you will see that 95% of people there think it’s cool to like Trump and the other five percent are from Media Matters.

Most of these young idiots learn their politics from their parents. If you see a young kid saying he is not my president rest assured that his or her parents are the same way

So if you hear some grade-school girl on the bus blasting Trump, it's what she heard at the dinner table the night before.

Considering that there is a cumulative effect, and public studies show that a majority are in a household without two married parents (especially with racial minorities) you are most likely correct.

>> it is my unscientific observation that today’s young people are more sober than ever, certainly more sober than my friends and I were 25 years ago.

I agree. But with their increased sobriety comes their inflated sense of self-importance and a belief that everything is an epic catastrophe. When the Stupid people elected Obama, our response was, “this is gonna suck.” But, for them the election of anyone but a Progressive is The End of Days, the Global Extinction Event, the end of free WiFi! They might be more sober, but they are not prepared to deal with the reality of adult life.

Better question would be what percentage of those polled actually work?

Ironically, most of the blacks and latinos responding to the poll are illegitimate.
