Defending Trump while calling Clinton crooked is delusional.

Trump has thousands of lawsuits over his crooked dealings.

He brags about "renegotiating" loans, i.e. refusing to pay what he agreed to pay. He brags about refusing to pay contractors and employees. ...

Trump is so crooked that when he passes on to his reward, they'll have to screw him into the ground.

The believe that young people don't know what is going on and/or won't vote is also delusional.

They are usually idealistic, but the world doesn't work the way they think. They WILL learn, most of them anyway, and develop opinion based on reality and not "what they think ought to be". It makes a HUGE difference.


So I don't care what young people think.
I'm in this age group. I've been in the working world for more than a decade where I am now in a management role, earned two degrees on full scholarships - one while working full time, lived in 3 foreign countries, have fought and beat stage IV cancer, have had speaking gigs around the country, have leadership roles in several volunteer obligations, and am very involved in my younger brother's family which includes children.

What life experience, exactly, am I lacking? Are my peers in this age group lacking? You might be able to say that about 15-20 year olds, but not the majority of this age group. And no one in the 15-34 age group is so blind as to look at Trump's tweets and think they represent the words of a stable, principled, grown-up president.

Not even close.... Despite many personal failings, at least the Donald is getting some good things done -- illegal immigration is being fought as are the states that support it. We may finally pull out of Syria. And even if he does nothing else, he got Gorsuch on the Supreme Court. Enough said.

Understandable considering where they get their "news"

In the first year of Trump's admin ABC, NBC and CBS ran stories on Trump.

90% WERE NEGATIVE on him.

MOST big city newspapers are very liberal and the stories reflect it.

MOST of cable news is left and is reflective in their coverage.

Most Kids coming out of high school and college have been indoctrinated by liberal teachers.

Do you really expect any other "result" from a polll run by another liberal site?

I could not get to the actual poll so it is hard to see WHO they polled and their political affiliations.

It DOES make a difference.

Most people get their "news" from CNN, MSNBC, NBC, CBS, ABC, PBS, Comedy Central, Yahoo, Google, MSN, Facebook, Washpo, NYT, Huffpo, etc. They are all far left BIASED. Young people are especially easily duped as they don't know any better, and also due to their school indoctrination, Left Wing positions, and propaganda are "hip" to them.

Then why doesn't Trump try to craft a different image than the media presents with his tweets and speeches? It's not a strong argument that "the mean ol' media is against him!" when his words show no different picture.

This is the same group that march in the streets to get out of class, wear funny hats, and be with their friends for a fun day off. When asked exactly what their cause is......many can't even put a sentence together. Dumb begets Dumber.

Where I work, politics doesn't get discussed much although the older ( 40 and up) employees do discuss world events, economic happenings, local news, national news, etc.
Younger coworkers( 18 to 25) discuss sports, video games, music, movies, gadgets.
One young Spanish coworker did go off on a rant about how bad Hillary was. Another older one( 60 ish) went off about how bad Trump is.
I think stereotyping any person based on race or age or sex is just foolish.
