Democratic Primary 2.0

In 2008, an unknown senator from Chicago challenged Democratic Royalty Hillary Clinton in the Democratic Convention Presidential Nomination. Senator Obama from Chicago quickly gained traction against Clinton and swooped the nomination right out from under Hilary in the history-making election of 2008.

In 2016, the Queen of the Democrats is trying yet another time to be the first female President of the United States of America. Although Hillary may be in for the same trouble and disappointment that greeted her back in the 2008 election. As badly as the Democratic establishment wants you to believe Hilary has the majority of America's support, it's simply not true. The truth is Bernie Sanders is ahead of where Barrack Obama was in the race at this exact time back in 2008.

The first part of the Democratic Primaries include the 9 Old Southern states which have majority support for Clinton. The truth is Bernie appeals to the majority of democrats, yes Clinton is in the lead right now especially with her super delegates. But super delegates can just as easily revoke their pledged votes to her, as easily as they gave her those votes.

Democratic Primary 2.0 is about to begin. It runs from March 16 through June 7. It includes none of the “Old Southern” states, because they have already voted. It includes all of the Pacific states, and all of the Mountain states except Colorado and Nevada which have already voted. The most important thing to remember is that Bernie still has a HUGE chance of becoming the Democratic Presidential Nominee, the biggest prizes still yet to come are California (545 delegates), New York (291 delegates) and Pennsylvania (210 delegates.) Just winning these three states would put Bernie in the lead. From polling we can be certain that Sanders has a much higher support rate in Northern and Western States rather than in the south. The Democratic Nomination is still anyones for the taking, so don’t give up on Bernie Sanders.

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.
