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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
