No, We Couldn’t Have Picked A Better Republican Candidate

thepoliticalstudent.com

Throughout this election, many people have been saying that they just voted for Trump because he’s “the lesser of the two evils” or because he was the republican nomination. Many people say that during the primaries, there should have been a better Republican selected and Trump was a “crappy choice” but they voted for him anyway. As someone who has supported Trump from the beginning, I’m going to explain why Trump was actually the BEST choice for the Republican nomination and why he still is.

First of all, he was the only one who was able to beat Hillary. At the end of the day, the Republican National Committee can’t and won’t pick who they like better personally, their point is to win and pick who they think will win the race.

Second of all, the Republican Party didn’t even pick him, we did. The American people picked him. Instead of being mad at the Republican Party for their “crappy pick” look at the election process, look at the democratic system; the people spoke and they wanted him.

In addition to all of this, no other Republican could have successfully beat Hillary fair and square like Trump did. The point of Trump running and this election were to change the system. Selecting any other candidate wouldn’t have changed the system, voting for any other candidate would be a vote for the same crap America has been doing and getting away with for the past 50 plus years. Donald Trump does not it that mold and did not fit the mold. He stepped out of the woodwork to run and gave up his luxurious, privileged life of fame and wealth to get slandered by the media because he believes his cause, and the America people’s cause that much. Even if you didn't like Trump in the primaries, and even if you don't like Trump now, that doesn't mean he'll be a bad president.

Donald Trump suffered so that America could get a leader we deserved. Donald Trump was the selfless one. Donald Trump was never the “lesser of the 2 evils,” Donald Trump was never a “crappy choice”. Trump can truly make a difference, he was the right guy at the right time and no other presidential nomination could have defeated Hillary the way Trump did. Now that Trump is the official president elect, other countries can get behind us and know that they aren’t being played. Other countries can join with us to stop elite’s hidden agendas and to make America great again.

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

733

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

14 Things The Extremely Pale Are Tired Of Hearing

I get it... I'm pale.

University of Vermont

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
