Another Setback For Trump's Campaign
Politico

Let’s backtrack and see what’s happened to Donald Trump recently.

Another important factor to Trump’s “success” has left the building. On Aug. 19, Campaign Chairman Paul Manafort resigned from the Trump campaign. This is the second-high profile departure, the first one being campaign manager Corey Lewandowski earlier in the summer.

What does this change of power mean? Could it be foreshadowing another drop in political power? Trump has remedied his current issues by appointing two campaign aides to senior positions: Kellyanne Conway is the new campaign manager, and Steve Bannon, Breitbart News chief, is the new campaign CEQ. Powers have once again been divided in the Trump campaign, and who knows where this will lead.

This presidential campaign has been a brutal and chaotic pattern of twists and turns, and Trump has been— and is still— the main cause of it all. If we’re being honest, why would Trump allow his campaign chairman to quit three months before Election Day? This is the home stretch and Trump wants to take people from the bench and try to make a dream team? His team should have kept Manafort, because without him Trump would not have gotten this far.

According to Trump, Manafort just didn’t fit the bill anymore. He was moving too slow for Trump’s current pace, and they just didn’t see eye to eye. Come on! What is seeing eye to eye with Donald Trump? Maybe you have to build a large wall around yourself to see eye to eye. If that doesn’t work you can always beat around the bush when asked about your policies. Not being completely honest, yet exposing all your flaws to the world is how Trump sees eye to eye with anyone.

Now, with the new positions in his campaign, Trump is taking a step in a different direction. He’s using teleprompters during his rally’s, his original ideas concerning immigration and deportation are apparently “open to change”, and this makes me wonder; does Trump even know what he wants anymore? At this point in the presidential race certainty and credibility are a must. Donald Trump isn’t credible enough to hold an entire country in his hands, and he’s not even certain enough to keep a campaign staff together. How can he be President of the United States? The answer is simple, he can’t.

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.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
