  • Nightmare on Columbus Street
    Nightmare on Columbus Street On November 7, 2016, The New York Times stated that Hillary Clinton had a 85% chance of winning the Presidential election. Fivethirtyeight stated 71%, Huffington Poststated 98%, Predict Wise stated 89%, Daily Kos stated 92%, and Princeton Election Consortium stated a >99% chance. Everyone in America was bracing for another Clinton presidency. By midnight on November 8, Fivethirtyeight stated that Donald Trump had an 84% chance of winning. On the 9th, Hate Crimes and protests started across America. In a Minnesota High School, racial slurs like, “go back to Africa” and “whites only” were written in the bathroom. In NYC, a Muslim woman wearing a scarf (not even a hijab) was passed on a subway platform and told, “Your times up, girlie.” A “Make American White Again” sign with a swastika was graffitied in Wellsville, New York. The name “Trump” was written in a Muslim prayer room at New York University. “Fuck your safe space” and “Build the wall” was written on the sidewalk at the University of Louisiana. “Black lives don’t matter and neither do your votes” was painted on a wall in Durham, North Carolina. In Cambridge, a postal worker yelled at a hispanic resident, “Go back to your country, this is Trump land now.” At the University of Pennsylvania, all African-American freshman were added to a GroupMe labeled “Ni**er Lynching”. All of these atrocities have been contrasted with promises to stay optimistic and hopeful. There have been Anti-Trump rallies in Chicago, Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Washington DC, Dayton, Cincinnati, Oklahoma City, Salt Lake City, Providence, Albany, Portland, Las Vegas, New Haven, Burlington, and many college campuses.

    Campus Battlegrounds for the Fall :: Inside Higher Ed :: Higher Education's Source for N... Page 1 of 3 Advertisement June 25 Campus Battlegrounds for the Fall With the presidential election officially down to two major party candidates, supporters of Sen. John McCain and Sen. Barack Obama are turning their attention to strategies for winning over key constituencies. When it comes to one target group — students on college campuses — both campaigns see significant opportunities, but challenging barriers, too. McCain would seem to have the bigger hill to climb, given Obama’s ability to entice and excite young voters, and aides to the Arizona Republican acknowledge that hurdle. But Obama has his own campus problem: keeping disaffected supporters of Sen. Hillary Clinton from bolting to McCain after their bruising primary campaign. In the weeks Clinton’s concession this month, rumors have been buzzing that disappointed supporters of the vanquished Democrat may cross party lines to support McCain — and in a few instances they have. In a letter last week to members Students for Hillary at the University of Iowa, the group’s co-chairs, Cody Eliff and Nicole Dziuban, expressed their support for the Republican senator from Arizona. The letter cites reasons such as the unfair treatment of Clinton by the media and by the Obama campaign, as well as Obama being “unqualified” to be president. Also in the letter, Eliff says that Obama did not win the nomination, but was handed it by the Democratic National Committee, citing how it handled the results from the Michigan primary.

    Barackin’ The Vote: Barack Obama’s Strategy to Win The 2008 Democratic Nomination for President By: Daniel H.

Some candidates mount a presidential campaign to raise awareness about an issue, such as Senator Tom Tancredo on immigration reform. Others want to make one of the frontrunner candidates address a specific issue.

Finally, some candidates, like George H.W. Bush in 1980, enter the race to showcase their political strengths in the hopes that they might be able to join their party’s ticket or administration if their party wins in the general election. Senator Barack Obama from Illinois, who is an African-American, is running in the race for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination.
