Personally, as a boomer, I would rather sacrifice to fix a broken system for my "kids" who are gen Xers, but I don't think that's a popular opinion.
I'm an older gen xer who has voted Republican straight ticket since I voted twice for Bill Clinton (I know) but yeah, I'm intrigued by Trump. My boomer siblings are all leftists - seem to be getting more so with age. My parents, of the greatest generation, now deceased, were very moderate Republicans.

If the election was today and we could vote for any candidate in the race I would vote for Trump.

He's obviously of primarily European descent.

As soon as we graduate from the reeducation camp and learn to say the right things, they change the rules on us and we have to re enroll for remedial education. Do you know what comes after Hispanic so I can get a head start?

So what? It is obvious his loyalties lie elsewhere and he has adopted Mexico as his nation and Mexicans as his people. He is a scumbag in the highest regard.

Nothing wrong with paying a living wage, for Americans and legal aliens.

Like THAT'S gonna happen. Texas by itself would not only defeat Mexico; I'd lay some serious money that Texas as punishment would take even more of what's Mexico in 2015. La raza is getting put in int place more and more. Even many American Hispanics DON'T like the la raza kind.

Maybe. But they're going to hand the election to the Dems for the next three or four cycles.
