Trump the pig versus Hillary the liar

Donald Trump has not failed to amuse us since entering the Presidential race. His comments have angered the nation; from racial comments to comments that upset women. This past week, a recording of Trump's lewd comments about women have been revealed.

The conversation took place about eleven years ago. The conversation between Access Hollywood's Billy Bush and the presidential candidate was picked up on the microphone. Trump was to meet "Days of Our Lives" soap actress Arianne Zucker. Comments such as groping and kissing women were revealed. Trump saying, "When you're a star, you can do anything." Women and men around the nation are disgusted at the comments and find them degrading to women.

Trump has come out to the public and has given an apology. Not only did he apologize, but he played the blame game with Bill Clinton saying that Clinton was much worse than he was with women. If you're going to apologize, just apologize. Don't bring Bill Clinton into something that you said eleven years ago. The Republican party is telling and urging Trump to drop out of the race. Not too long afterward Trump tweeted on Twitter, "I will not drop out." What do these lewd comments mean to the presidential race? Trump has probably lost voters; especially women voters.

Although, is it enough voters to cost his win in the race? Possibly. The president has taken a role in America as the physical representation of our country. How does it look for our country when the representation makes degrading and lewd remarks towards others? This is what many Americans are thinking. Another thing that's playing in the race for president is racial subjects.

Some claim that Trump is racist, which most likely he is. But Hilary Clinton is too. Let's be honest, neither of these candidates really know about diverse minorities. It's not how they grew up and how they were raised. It's obvious that Clinton is just trying to gain more votes by bringing in the race card and vice-versa. Neither of these candidates are a good representation of our country. But let's take the time to think for a minute.

Yes, Trump's comments are lewd and disgusting, but those comments have nothing affecting our country. Do his comments have anything to do with the decisions that he makes for our nation? Bill Clinton was one of the best presidents for our country until the public found out about his little affair with then-intern Monica Lewinsky. They all have character and moral flaws, but are those flaws big enough to affect the decisions made for our country?

So ask yourself America before you vote this year if you'd rather vote for a womanizing pig or a compulsive liar... because those are your choices.

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.
