Please, I'd like your opinion

An Open Letter to A Trump Supporter
ABC

Dear Trump Supporter,

I’m writing you this letter because Election Day is right around the corner and I’d like to know if you are still standing by your candidate.

Not sure whether you supported him from day one or somewhere along the way, but I’m curious to know where you stand at this point. As you know, your candidate has been under fire for the past few weeks for several different controversies, ranging from a lewd tape to possibly refusing to accept the result of the election. Regardless of what it may be, I guess I’d like to pick your brain a bit to find out how you argue to support his claim.

I’ve heard the “what Bill did was much worse” argument, and although it may be a valid claim, he isn’t the person being discussed. Diverting the attention to someone that isn’t running for office doesn’t really answer the question. Mr. Trump says that what the women are saying are all “lies” and that there is no evidence to support their claim. While it is true that everyone is innocent until proven guilty, do you believe that Mr. Trump has evidence to support his claim? Is there evidence to prove that what the women are saying is false? As far as the tape goes, he admits to kissing women and touching women inappropriately, so how do you argue for that? These are all questions that I’ve asked myself lately, but because I am not a Trump supporter, I can’t come up with an unbiased answer, so I’d like your help.

There are so many things that I’m unsure about concerning Mr. Trump. There’s been so many outlandish statements along the way that I’m not really sure how to narrow it down to one to ask you about, but I’m confident you know what I mean. One of the wildest claims so far – at least in my opinion – is the claim of a “rigged” election. Several experts have stated publically that it would be incredibly difficult for a U.S. election to be “rigged.” So where is Mr. Trump getting his information to make such a claim? Is there unknown, unseen evidence for that, too? Mr. Trump is insulting the very basis of our democracy – a free and open election. American voters across the nation will go out on Election Day and support the candidate that they believe will do the best job at running our nation. Mr. Trump, like Mrs. Clinton, ran a yearlong campaign that he and his team managed the way they thought best. So to say that the election is “rigged,” just because he is behind in the polls, sounds a little bit like whining to me.

So, I say to you Mr./Mrs. Trump Supporter, please help me by offering me your opinion for support of Donald Trump for President of the United States.

Sincerely,

A Decided Voter

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
