In a statement issued over the weekend, the New Mexico College Republicans said they’re dumping Trump and instead will support Gary Johnson, the former governor of New Mexico and the Libertarian candidate for president.

The story is the same for college Republicans at the University of New Mexico, according to the group’s president Ryan Ansloan. Additionally, the college students called out Trump’s comments unearthed by the Washington Post on Friday.

“The Oval Office is no place for a vulgar and classless individual,” they said in a statement released Saturday. “The leader of the free world is someone that young girls and boys from all over the country look to for leadership and maturity. The American president should be a role model, a leader, not someone who would bring shame and embarrassment to our country.”

The New Mexico College Republicans have a presence at UNM, New Mexico State University, Highlands University and Eastern New Mexico University, with about 100 members. Trump’s campaign in New Mexico didn’t return a reporter’s call by deadline.

1. The leader of the free world

should also be someone who is committed to community, the body polity,
and not the corporate dominance of libertarianism.

But who can reason with folks like these?

Is this the future of the Republican Party?

2. College kids have more dignity and decorum than the Republican nominee.

I think middle school children do as well.
