The Ithacan

Trump’s words should anger you not only because they would be offensive to your sister, daughter or mother, but because they are derogatory toward all women.

People react forcefully when called names. Voters get angry and look for their own candidate to fight back. Trump is that candidate.

Trump’s ideas to protect Americans from terrorism are not only offensive, but they would be almost entirely ineffective at preventing any terrorism.

While Clinton’s word choice was questionable, the issue here is that Clinton is gaining more attention for her accusations of racism and sexism than Trump is for his actual racist and sexist remarks.

Devoting more attention to third-party candidates isn’t enough. There needs to be a shift in the media coverage from entertainment to issues.

Though arguments against voting for third parties have persisted throughout many recent elections, voters — and organizations representing voters — should not be cut off from expressing viewpoints either for or against these arguments.

The Ithaca College Republicans organization has made an unprecedented decision concerning the presidential election: it will not endorse Donald Trump as the Republican nominee.

We could write a long list of grievances against Trump but that would be a waste of your time and ours.

This year, the Republican Party left me and millions of other conservatives. Unlike Reagan, though, we have no party to defect to. So we must stay and fight.

We used to work together to find common ground. Now, we label those who disagree with us as bad people.

Youth voting is making the long-awaited upturn, but we cannot make it for the wrong, misguided reasons.

In a perfect world, Kasich would easily be the front-runner. But we don’t live in a perfect world.
