During Game Seven of the Cleveland Cavaliers versus the Golden State Warriors, the referees continuously stopped the clock, as they pointed to the many out-of-bound plays. As the television displays the reactions of the players, we can subconsciously capture the humor throughout the game. While the majority of both teams point to their opposing basketball hoop, we can simply watch a replay of which team truly has possession of the ball. Laughter is unconstrained, because it is “obvious” to the viewers which player displaced the ball from the court, when the instant replay confirms our first thought.

Ironically enough, the current presidential campaign is creating a similar response. With the aid of each social media platform, along with the news, viewers are able to reconnect themselves and watch videos of Donald Trump and Hilary Clinton numerous times, in an attempt to comprehend what they are voicing and their plans with America; or should I say, their “game” of pointing fingers at one another. By replaying debates and rallies, both candidates are reassuring Americans that this campaign has unraveled itself into a child-like game of, “Who do you like better?” There is so much humor discovered within each candidates’ verbal attack on the other, when the only attacking that should exist, are a candidate’s motive to terminate varying epidemics of failure within our government and country.

If Donald Trump achieves his goal of building a wall, or if Hilary Clinton’s relation to Bill Clinton politically aids in her expansion of voters, they both will be unable to eliminate one major problem in America. That is, Americans will continue to point their fingers at opposing perspectives and beliefs, and direct their fingers at a government that is gradually losing manipulation of its stability. With that being said, neither candidate in this game will “Make America Great Again”, considering their incapability to solely focus on their goals and the American people. For now, viewers relentlessly watch two candidates who withhold incorrect motives in mind, dreading the upcoming battles of presidential preference.

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
