I for one do not like the result of this primary race, but who would after they put their heart and soul into wanting to win. It was a classic battle, but Trump won. Just like military academies teach the logistics of some of history’s greatest battles of war, so too will this epic battle be taught for generations to come by Political Science instructors. The lessons learned will affect the way politicians run their campaigns for decades.

Both sides got down and dirty, as they obliterated the detente that made everyone speculate as to why they refused to attack each other early in the campaign. Often times even those who are the best of friends can have the nastiest of breakups.

It's All About Electing A Woman As President In 2020

by Chuck Ness

Seems like a day doesn't go by without another woman accusing some guy of sexually harassing her. Most of the accusations are from incidents that took place so long ago that there is no way to prove or disprove the accusation. The stories are about men from all walks of life, and both sides of the political spectrum. From Hollywood to Congress, women are telling stories about how men they worked for, or with, treating them like sex toys. Older men being accused of forcing themselves upon young women and teen girls some ten, fifteen and even as long ago as forty years ago.

In the case of Hollywood, many are asking why now? Why not ten or fifteen years ago? Well, ten years ago, and last year there wasn't any worry that women would not vote for a woman. Then Hillary fell short against Trump, and one of the key factors in her losing to him was the women's vote. Yup, after all they did to turn women off of Trump, more women voted for Trump than voted for Romney. So Hillary could not get women as Obama got in 2012.
