Harvard, Princeton, UPenn, and now Penn State College Republicans Won’t Endorse Trump

http://onwardstate.com/2016/08/11/penn-state-college-republicans-become-one-of-three-us-chapters-not-endorsing-trump/

The CRs brought the endorsement to a vote, only to have 72 percent of its membership oppose supporting Trump. The post cited a number of factors that played into the decision, namely Trump’s contentious policy platforms. One in particular was Trump’s consideration of killing those suspected to be associated with terrorists, saying it “doesn’t fall in line with Republican, American, or Penn State values.”

Trump is and let them know about the college Republican clubs that are not supporting him. I wrote to Brown, Dartmouth, Cornell and Yale Republicans.

Yale College Republicans endorse Trump
JOEY YE AUG 10, 2016
STAFF REPORTER
The Yale College Republicans on Monday announced its endorsement of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, just days after the Harvard Republican Club said it would not support Trump in the general election.


In a brief statement, the Yale group acknowledged that while its members were split during presidential primaries, the organization encourages them to consider the “repercussions” of electing Hillary Clinton LAW ’73, the Democratic nominee for president. In an opinion piece for The Tab Yale, Yale College Republicans Co-Presidents Michaela Cloutier ’18 and Emmy Reinwald ’17 wrote that while the organization initially chose to refrain from any endorsement or denouncement, the group’s purpose is to connect members to the party’s nominees and support them at every level of government. Since the group’s Facebook post was published Monday morning, the statement has been seen by over 100,000 people and has garnered almost 700 reactions and over 200 shares.

are a complete mess, or at least they were when I was there ('13). I'm not surprised that they are supporting Trump in the slightest. They were the absolute worst and would invite bigoted speakers for the sole purpose of provocation.
