The mentality of the Alt-Right in a nutshell.
LOL, the irony if this is that Trump himself would not be able to vote ... his mother was British and an immigrant from Scotland!

God, I can't wait to purge the Alt-Right bigots and imbeciles from the party starting tomorrow morning.

Ann Coulter made a statement which is true and provokes a discussion.

Conservatives discuss the point.

Liberals just react, "OMG so racist!!"

Wow, I never knew that there was a cutoff point to what does and doesn't constitute being a "true American". Good to know, thanks Ann!

Third generation Americans which is what she calls for are hardly immigrants "barely having been here long enough to have a cup of coffee"

No, it wasn't true and does nothing other than (rightly) provoke ridicule and rebuke. Anyone who agrees with her does not understand what this country is about.

I wasn't even born here, and I am not voting for Hillary.

And exactly how many people actually have all 4 grandparents born in the US anyway? Everyone I know has at least 1 or 2 grandparents from elsewhere.

Is she proposing a law or is she just stating a fact? I don't agree you should have to be third generation to vote.

How is it not true that Trump would win in a landslide among 3rd generation+ Americans?

It's a simple question of counting the votes. There is no ideological opinion in the statement.

So would Trump be able to run in this Nazi fantasy world since his grandparents where all not born in the US?

It may be true, but it's also disgusting nativism that has no place in America. Never has, never will.
