It has an odd composition<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">right-wing independents, libertarians and Montero claims, even a few former Bernie Sanders supporters. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThis is not a Trump club. It\u2019s a Republican club,\u201d said Gianni Ginory, 18, vice president of the club and political science major at Kendall Campus. \u201cThere\u2019s a place for everyone in this club, whether you want to learn, help out local candidates and hang out with friends.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His draw to the party\u2019s platform comes from living under the Castro dictatorship in Cuba, one that he escaped six years ago. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI was the happiest guy in the world,\u201d he said. \u201cI couldn\u2019t be more proud that I touched American soil. We got welfare when we came to this country, we got medicare, we got food stamps. You know how much it lasted us? Six months.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He takes pride in his family\u2019s success in this country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SharkNet, the online platform for student organizations at MDC, describes <a href=\"https:\/\/sharknet.mdc.edu\/organization\/mdccrs\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">the club\u2019s mission<\/span><\/a> as <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a way to give a voice to students, encourage political activism and engage students in real world politics. It says the College Republicans give students a way to advocate their beliefs through a respectable and structured organization. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The club has received paraphernalia from local and national Republican campaigns and plans to host local Republican candidates that will address the organization\u2019s members such as John Couriel, Frank Artiles and David Rivera. They say they want to host workshops sponsored by organizations like the libertarian Generation Opportunity and the conservative Americans For Prosperity. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe try to embrace the Republican ideals and we try to help all candidates up and down the ballot to win on Nov. 8,\u201d Montero said. \u201cThe role as a college Republican is for me to lead and engage the students into the political process.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The last time there was a Republican student club at MDC was around five years ago, according to Montero. Political clubs are rare on MDC campuses. The only other visible political club is the immigrant rights organization <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdcthereporter.com\/swer-walks-for-freedom\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Students Working for Equal Rights<\/span><\/a> (S.W.E.R.) which also started a chapter this year at Kendall Campus. The College doesn\u2019t have a Democratic student organization, although there\u2019s a Green Party club at Wolfson Campus. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of Montero\u2019s activities this election season has been tabling on campus to recruit club members. His group elicits mixed reactions from students. Some congratulate them for their activism. Others approach their table to ask \u201cWhy Republican?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recently, a<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> small commotion arose during one of the group\u2019s tabling events outside the cafeteria on Sept. 28, when more than 20 people debated on the presidential elections.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Demetri Kendrick, 19, an English major at Kendall Campus, approached the table asking for three reasons to vote for Donald Trump. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAt some point it got very passionate and some words were derogatory,\u201d Kendrick said. \u201cThey handled everything very well, we were just intensely debating.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Public safety remained vigilant of the table to avoid further escalation of the situation, according to Lauren Adamo, the student life director at Kendall Campus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is not unlawful or against the student code of conduct to display support for candidates on campus at MDC. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt\u2019s all part of the learning process,\u201d Adamo said. \u201cIt\u2019s great that he cares and cares enough to get students involved.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although his first choice in the primary was former governor Jeb Bush, Montero will be voting for his party\u2019s nominee, Donald Trump, whom he recently met personally at the Koubek Center and describes as a caring individual. But he acknowledges the candidate\u2019s flaws, such as his remarks about women and his performance on the first presidential debate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cHe\u2019s such a gentleman,\u201d Montero said. \u201cI really do see him as a leader not a follower. The guy is tall and very, very respectful.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marlon Montero calls himself a surrogate of the Grand Old Party.
