Stop Trump 2K15

Stop treating Donald Trump like a viable Presidential candidate

Stop Trump 2K15
Cracked

I’m not afraid to admit that I’m about as liberal as it gets. My vote for the democratic nomination is firmly in favor of Bernie Sanders, even if I would really like to see Green Party Candidate Jill Stein be sworn into the White House. I grew up in a very small, very conservative town, so I’ve seen a lot of people posting about Donald Trump.

Now, anyone with half a brain can understand why we wouldn’t exactly want a man who was once personally in debt for One Million Dollars, but once you attach a celebrity face to that number, people want to vote him for president. That’s the scary thing about Donald Trump—he has the most name recognition out of any single candidate, and there’s a Bush running.

Name recognition plays a huge part in electing a political candidate, because while many people will do the necessary research and pick the candidate that is best for their views, there are a lot of people who will walk into the voting booth in November and won’t have a clue who they should vote for.

That's why unless there’s a miracle and the American public wakes up and realizes that we shouldn’t have the man who feels so entitled that he said, “All of the women on The Apprentice flirted with me – consciously or unconsciously. That’s to be expected,” he might actually snag the Republican nomination.

Trump has also commented that if his daughter Ivanka weren’t his daughter, then maybe they would be dating. Can you spell m-a-j-o-r—c-r-e-e-p, because I sure can.

Trump also believes that Global Warming is a hoax, and that we shouldn’t vaccinate our children. If he were president, his views on those subjects could literally end the world in melted ice caps full of smallpox. I wish that I were being dramatic, or that I were making a mountain out of a molehill, but voting in Trump as president would be just as bad for veterans as it would be for women and poor people.

Can we just appreciate that Trump said that, “[John McCain is] a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured.” CAN WE JUST?? This guy is not only offensive to the more liberal of our country, but is openly insulting veterans—which is usually something everyone tends to avoid.

There was also that cute little incident which wasn’t that cute when Trump called the entire country of Mexico rapists, and what he has repeatedly said about immigration reform: “I would build a wall like nobody can build a wall… Nobody can build a fence like me.” That’s really funny coming from Whitey McWhiterson, who comes from a family of immigrants.

Can we just please stop taking Trump seriously as a presidential candidate? He’s crass, rude, and he's even such a doofus that FOX NEWS is angry at him. HE doesn’t have viable plans for America, and so we should stop giving him the time of day.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
