Who Will Be There To Help Us?

Late last week John Kasich made a pretty darn good statement about how we should take into consideration what would happen if Trump becomes president.

While I'm sure I have made it known that I do not like Trump as a candidate or even as a person, I cannot stress enough how moronic this man is and how absurd it would be for America to elect him as a leader of her people. In this article, Kasich makes the point that Trump says things that stir emotions in people, but only in the people that his statements affect and are directed toward. Kasich says:

"You might not care if Donald Trump says Muslims should register with their government, because you're not one," says Moe, to an ominous soundtrack. "And you might not care if Donald Trump says he's going to round up all the Hispanic immigrants, because you're not one. And you might not care if Donald Trump says it's okay to rough up black protesters, because you're not one. And you might not care if Donald Trump wants to suppress journalists, because you're not one. But think about this: If he keeps going, and he actually becomes president, he might just get around to you. And you better hope there's someone left to help you."


So what do you think? Are you as affected by Trump's statements of stupidity even if you do not fall into a category applicable to you? Or do you brush off his statements and laugh at the fact he is even running for office? Just as John Kasich said in this article, if Trump keeps running his mouth about those who are not you, what is your plan for when something he says starts to hit home?

E-tour?

Earlier this month an article was released about Republican candidate Jeb Bush and the release of his book which , in short , could be called an "e-tour". The article mentions how the e-book "reveals a more personal side to a candidate who has struggled on the public stage."

 It seems like Jeb 2.0 is taking media in politics to a whole new level, and intends to use this media method to advance his progress as candidate. While some of you may be republican and some may be democrat, all differences aside, how do you think the use of an e-tour will help or hurt the course of a campaign?



Here is the link to the article with more in depth details:
