Donald Trump VS Bernie Sanders

What makes Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders so different and yet so appealing

Donald Trump VS Bernie Sanders

Donald J. Trump and Bernie Sanders are both names we have all heard this election year. One is a self proclaimed business guru who wants to bring something different to the American Presidency. The other is a career long politician who, unlike other politicians, actually seems to care about the people that he serves. One fights to bring greatness back to America and the other has fought to keep America great throughout his life. One wants to keep races, religions, and ideologies out of America that are considered a threat to our democratic process. The other wants to bring races, religions, and ideologies together to make America a socialist process. One refuses to share his tax statements, and the other gladly is open with the people about the taxes he pays. One is a staunch capitalist and the other is a staunch socialist. One wants to give tax breaks to the wealthy and the other wants to tax the wealthy to give free things to others. One attracts people who live in fear of losing something that they perceive they used to have. The other attracts people who want something that they perceive is free.

Why are both of these individuals eye catchers? Donald Trump truly believes in what he stands for and what needs to be done to make America Great Again. Bernie Sanders truly believes that making America a socialist state is what we need to make America greater. We as humans want two things in life. We want success, popularity, and power. We also want something more. We want to leave a difference and a legacy for future generations. All of these things are embodied by both candidates. With the republican primary over, Donald J Trump will be running as your next President of the United States of America.

On the other hand, the democratic primary will be contested between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. I would love to see these two different men who embody different ideologies run against each other in the Presidential Election. I don't support one over the other, but I respect individuals who have the will power and the gumption to do something that they will stand by no matter the odds. You may not like Donald Trump's approach to politics, but he is changing the game and I believe he really does want to make America Great Again. You may not like Bernie Sanders and his socialist agenda, but he is not your normally politician and he is also changing the political atmosphere of this year's election cycle. It would be awesome if both individuals were embodied by one person, but the fact is each is unique and each one could be your next President.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
