Presidential campaign nominee Donald Trump says that he can get the Hispanic vote even after his outburst during a press release that was sent out through Yahoo!.

Trump’s main issue is that he is trying to push is immigration. During a press conference June 29, he stated how supposed immigrants from Mexico are “rapists” and “criminals,” as stated in the video below.


After this sudden outburst, it may be hard to believe Trump when he says that he can get the Hispanic vote.

"I will win the Hispanic vote. I'm going to get people jobs. Nobody else is going to," Trump said to ABC News.

Trump also stated that the immigration problem is due to the United States government's lack of a backbone, that the United States is housing and taking in people that other countries don’t want.

“They're sending criminals to us, and we're putting those criminals in jails, often times after they've hurt somebody or killed somebody," Trump said to ABC News.

After this outburst, many companies, such as Macy's, dropped Trump as a sales associate, and the PGA of America even moved a tournament to a different location that is not owned by Donald Trump, according to NBC.

Many Americans who have lost loved ones because of people who are in the country illegally are backing up Trump and the issues that he brings forward to the American people.

On the other hand, protesters lined up outside of Luxe Sunset Boulevard Hotel in Los Angeles, where Trump is expected to appear, with signs reading “Dump Trump” after his LA appearance on July 11, according to NBC Los Angeles.

Two of the Republican nominees, former New York governor George Pataki and former Texas governor Rick Perry have been trying to use Trump's outburst to their advantage, while Senator Ted Cruz (Texas) has been strongly defending Trump.

One running candidate, though, Jeb Bush, wants nothing more to do about the celebrity's outburst.

"Everybody has a belief that we should control our borders," Bush said last week to the Huffington Post. "But to make these extraordinarily kind of ugly comments is not reflective of the Republican Party. Trump is wrong on this."

A Reuters-Ipsos poll revealed July 11 that Jeb Bush has a 16.1 percent support compared to Trump’s 15.8 percent. The other candidates haven’t broken into double digits.

It is a nail biting race for the presidency with the candidates going after each other, and with the election for 2016 are coming up fast, it will be a fight to the finish to be the Republican nominee.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
