Make America Great Again And Don't Vote Trump

Make America Great Again And Don't Vote Trump
independent.co.uk

This week, the world stopped for just a moment. It was revealed that Ted Cruz and John Kasich dropped out of the running as the potential Republican candidate, thus declaring Donald Trump the likely Republican presidential nominee. When Trump first announced his candidacy, no one thought much of it. You laughed and you probably thought that Cruz, Rubio or Carson would slaughter him in the polls. Now, six months before Election Day and Trump is the only contender left. Even if Cruz & Kasich had stayed in the running, the chances of them winning were very, very slim. But now having certainty, that a racist, homophobic, misogynistic, outrageous man will more than likely be the Republican nominee is truly horrifying.

One of the many problems has been that the media has always had its eyes on Trump. Coverage ran from what outrageous things did he say, who did he insult, what ridiculous plan does he have for so and so issue. And that was the start of the problem. Say what you want about Cruz or Rubio or Kasich but these men were initially the serious contenders but by the end, they began to get seriously overlooked. Overlooked by a rich man, with no political experience, who says whatever is on his mind and the people love him for it. Overlooked by a man who is insecure about the size of his hands (and penis,) a man who openly said “if Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her,” a man who ignorantly stated, “It’s freezing and snowing in New York – we need global warming!” A man who called Mexicans drug dealers, rapists, criminals and who wants to build a wall on the border and have MEXICO pay for said wall. A man who once tweeted that everyone should have a happy 9/11 day. This man is who people want for their president.

Why? In Last Week Tonight With John Oliver, Oliver reported that the people love the idea of him: he tells it how it is, he self-funded his campaign, he’s successful, but frankly, the people are intrigued by the character of Donald Trump and aren’t seeing the real man behind it all. Most of the things that are coming out of his mouth are 76% of varying degrees of false and his stances on abortion, immigration, and gun control have been thoroughly inconsistent throughout his campaign. His campaign is not self-funded. In fact, he loaned his campaign $17.5 million which he can pay himself back for through campaign funds and has taken in $7.5 million in individual contributions. When you think of Trump, you think of wealth, and wealth comes from success. But Trump is far from successful. Yes, he has a multi-million dollar inheritance from his father which is more than most of us will ever see in our lifetime, but that inheritance that he gained, he has lost a huge amount. Most of the companies he started (Trump Shuttle, Trump Vodka, Trump Magazine, Trump World Magazine, Trump University, gotrump.com, Trump Steaks & Trump Mortage Company) no longer exist. And the buildings with his name on them aren’t even his, he just licenses the name. This is the man the people aren’t seeing. The inconsistent, unsuccessful man who says what the people want to hear. The Republican party tried to stop it from gaining further fame, but shockingly, this is the man people actually want as their nominee. Which is really frightening.

He is lighting the fire to all the racist, homophobic, sexist people of America which will not make America great again, it will only make it worse. By now, you’ve all probably seen at least one video of people protesting at Trump’s rallies. Which means you’ve probably seen how crazy the Trump supporters can get. They have beaten protestors and yelled racial slurs at them and just attack them, and if Trump wins the presidency then this won’t just be occasional occurrences, they’ll happen daily. They’re going to want the wall, they’re going to wave their hate flags, and the country will go to shit. Cape Breton in Canada has created a website promoting its island for anyone considering moving away if Trump were to win the candidacy, it’s that serious.

First, the people need to see Donald Trump as the man that he is and not the man we see on the cameras. The more people know, the better. If you’re don’t support Trump, then vote Democrat. But if you don’t like Hillary, the top contender, vote for Bernie. If you don’t like either candidate, don’t not vote, vote for the one you hate the least. And if hell breaks loose and Trump wins the candidacy, remember that his say in laws that get passed isn’t as important as the House’s or the Senate’s. So vote for the people who want to improve the country, not ruin it. And, if it’s an all Republican House & Senate, then you book yourself a one-way trip to Canada, Mexico, or Europe and wait it out a couple of years.

We have until July to vote in the primaries for the Democratic party if you don’t like Hillary then vote for Bernie. But vote for the candidate who’s values and views and morals have been consistent, someone who actually wants to make America great again. Just imagine the real Donald Trump, the inconsistent, loud-mouth man in debt from unsuccessful businesses as president of this nation, and you know that the right thing to do is to vote for anyone but him.

So if you can vote in the primaries and in the election in November, vote. Be the change, or don't complain when things don't go your way.

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
