The Election Is Over

We already have a winner

The Election Is Over
Altoday.com

There are approximately 80 days left until the general election, but it doesn’t matter. We already have a new president. All the pundits can stop writing about the battleground states, no one needs to hear about the polls anymore. There’s no reason grassroots activists should be pouring their blood, sweat, and tears into a campaign. It is all futile at this point.

Why? Because Hillary Clinton will be our next President of the United States.

As per my previous article, I laid out what Donald Trump had to do in order to effectively compete with the Clinton camp. This past week he proved that he cares nothing about winning, and chooses to stay his course that has put him behind Clinton in every key battleground state such as Pennsylvania.

If you didn’t know, Donald Trump’s campaign went through a major shake-up this week. After allegations of Ukrainian and Russian influence over his campaign manager Paul Manafort, Donald Trump chose to select the chairman of Breitbart news, Stephen Bannon, as his new campaign CEO. Don’t get me wrong, Bannon is a very intelligent conservative political player, but he is precisely what the Trump campaign does not need.

Bannon is a right-wing lunatic. If you choose to peruse Breitbart news, God help you, you’ll see that every article and news report is heavily biased towards Trump and usually include at least one farfetched conspiracy theory about Democrats or Clinton. His followers are religious, just like Trumps. He does not help the campaign at all, however he prevents Trump from moving forward towards the general election. With his help, things will only become more divisive, the language Donald Trump uses will become even more corrosive.

Not only has Stephen Bannon jumped aboard the Trump Train, but so too has Kellyanne Conway, the newly anointed campaign manager of the campaign. In an interview Thursday morning, Conway told CNN’s “New Day” that, Trump needs “to be comfortable about being in his own skin.” Before she was placed in her new role, Conway served as the campaign’s chief pollster and strategist.

So, to Donald Trump, it would be a great idea to select a chief pollster as his new campaign manager, despite the fact that he is consistently behind in every single poll in battleground states and across the nation as a whole. Add that to promotion of Trump being himself, plus Stephen Bannon’s radical nature, and you get a Trump campaign that will inevitably fail.

Looks like someone needs to Make the Trump Campaign Great Again.

A recent poll in Texas discovered that 60 percent of Texans would favor secession if Hillary Clinton becomes president. I hate to break the news to them, but Clinton will be overwhelmingly elected in the fall. As a conservative, it pains me to write that. Although, Don the Con has done all the damage himself. So come November, when Trump loses badly, myself and the other #NeverTrump conservatives will not be at fault. It will be Trump’s fault entirely.

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.
