  • To Beat Trump, Clinton Brings Back Triangulation and the Politics of Fear
    To Beat Trump, Clinton Brings Back Triangulation and the Politics of Fear The enduring cliche of the 2016 election is a comment by Trump that provokes outrage, rebukes, and the declaration: “He’s gone too far.” This happened the moment Trump declared his presidential bid by denigrating Mexicans, then when he attacked veterans, women, the disabled, Muslims, and the judiciary among others, and most recently with his vendetta against Khizr and Ghazala Khan. Trump’s attack on the Khans seems curious as he had nothing to gain. The couple grabbed the moral high ground at the Democratic National Convention by pointedly telling Trump, “You have sacrificed nothing and no one,” in reference to the death of their son as a U.S. Army officer in Iraq in 2004. The self-inflicted wounds are unlikely to cause Trump permanent harm, however.The New York Times found his attacks on military members and families mainly affected the opinion of undecided veterans, representing just a sliver of voters. Trump also recovered after a similar racist tirade against a U.S.-born judge overseeing lawsuits against the defunct Trump University. Republicans inside the Beltway freaked out in private over Trump’s antics, but in public they are loathe to break with him when polls show81 percent of the party supports him along with41 percent of the public overall. Moreover, Trump’s ranting about the Khans is consistent with his trickle-down revenge and nativism that’s congealed a white nationalist rebellion around him. It shows little sign of faltering. In battleground states like Ohio, North Carolina, and Iowa, Trump trails Clinton by less than 1 percent.

  • Politicians: Jill Stein
    Politicians: Jill Stein By H. Graph Desino, adapted by Newsela staff Synopsis: Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein is a physician, author and ​ activist. She became interested in environmental issues when she noticed that her patients often lived in polluted areas. She has run for several local and state-level offices, and she ran for president in 2012. Stein lives in Lexington, Massachusetts, with her husband and has two grown sons. Early Life And Education Jill Ellen Stein was born in Chicago, Illinois, on May 14, 1950. Her parents were Gladys and Joseph Stein, whose families both came from Russia. She grew up in the nearby neighborhood of Highland Park and was raised Jewish. As a child, she was fascinated by the natural world. She would catch butterflies, frogs and fish to study under her microscope. Stein was an excellent student and loved music. She later played guitar and sang in a folk-music band. Stein went to Harvard College in Massachusetts in 1969. She graduated with high honors and then attended Harvard Medical School, where she graduated in 1979. Medical Career And Introduction To Politics Stein was doctor for 25 years and taught medicine at Harvard. She married physician Rick Rohrer in 1981, and they raised two sons, Noah and Ben. Over time, Stein grew interested in the connection between her patients’ health and where they lived. Many of her patients who lived in areas with heavy pollution had more health problems. In 1998, she fought to get stricter rules for coal plants in Massachusetts. She testified before different groups and government departments about the effects of pollution on health.
