As The Race Comes To An End, Bernie Sanders Fends For Himself

Why Won't Anyone Debate With Bernie?
Huffington Post

This late in the presidential race, Bernie Sanders is less than 300 delegates behind Hillary Clinton. With Donald Trump officially winning the Republican vote, everyone already assumes that Clinton also clinched the Democratic nomination. What people don't realize is Sanders still has a chance of winning, and with the recent polls showing Trump could win the presidency over Clinton, Sanders should win. There are still a couple more days of primary voting, and a win in California could make or break who wins the Democratic nominee. All Sanders needs is one last debate to raise the polls, gain momentum and supporters. The problem is, neither Clinton or Trump are willing to debate the 72-year-old.

Clinton and her team are already sure they have won the nominee, so they don't feel another debate will make any difference. Unless they're scared. Clinton may know Sanders could crush her in another debate making the competition even closer than it already is. The California primary is an important one, so of course, Clinton wouldn't do anything to hurt her chances of winning this all important vote. In my opinion, I already think Sanders could win the golden state.

Sanders also asked Trump to debate him nearing the California primary, and at first, Trump was on board! However recently Trump has stated it would be "unfair" and "inappropriate" for him to debate the second-place finisher. It has been known Trump would prefer Sanders to get the democratic nominee, even though he has the better chance of beating Trump. A debate against Sanders not including Clinton could increase his chances against her, which may be beneficial for Trump. Trump has also stated that the debate would make good TV and receive high ratings, so why not debate? I think it's safe to say at this point both Clinton and Trump are truly scared of what Sanders could do to hurt their race.

Both Trump and Clinton are known for being flip-floppers, so they both could decide to debate Sanders once and for all. In the meantime, Sanders is left to fight and campaign for himself before the California primary.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

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.
