He spoke at a rally Norfolk, Va in front of the USS Wisconsin. He promised to improve the condition and reform policies to better the lives of veterans. He said he "wanted to supplement the program," and "fire the corrupt and incompetent VA executives". He said he wanted to appropriately address the conditions of those serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. He wants to use the VA in order to address the conditions of existing veterans.
I'm not a big fan of Donald Trump, but there are problems which our veterans face. The suffer from illnesses such as PTSD or other physical or mental or emotional injuries, and not a lot of them get help. The number of unemployed or homeless veterans has risen. There need to be solutions for these issues because these are the young orl old men and women risking their lives to defend our rights.

Does Bernie Hate Babies??!
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/01/us/politics/bernie-sanders-doesnt-kiss-babies-that-a-problem.html?ref=politics
This article focuses on the lack of interaction between Bernie Sanders and the voting public of the United States of America. It includes multiple examples where Bernie quickly exits after any speeches or rallies without talking to any of the audience one on one, and if he does interact with the people, it'd feel "rushed" and would last for just 30 seconds. I agree with the author of this article when he says that this is not the best for Bernie's campaign, since connecting and engaging with the public outside of gatherings is extremely important.
The article includes that the previous democratic campaigns, of Bill Clinton and current President Barack Obama, took advantage of this face-to-face connection that Bernie isn't. I think that embracing the public, through simple things like waving to those who stay to see him after a speech or better yet talking for even 15 seconds to them would help him out tremendously. If people are able to connect with him on a personal level, they would see him more as a human being, they can see that he's also like them. It would also perhaps make those who are unsure of who to vote for decide on who if they get to talk to Bernie up close.

Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio Grow Apart as Their Ambitions Expand
According to this article, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz, both candidates of Cuban descent, have built a relationship throughout their years as senators. Ted Cruz was elected senator in 2012 and during that time he sought guidance as well as an endorsement from Rubio. As a result of this, Mr. Cruz built a relationship with Mr. Rubio that is now slowly being weakened. Cruz and Rubio are now both staying out of each other's way in a Republican race in which many of the candidates seem to be verbally attacking each other. Both Rubio and Cruz would like to become the first Latino president and would like to see the race come down to the both of them. Therefore, Rubio and Cruz have agreed to attempt to take out other candidates from the GOP nomination. However, there is still a lot of time left in the primaries so maybe their agreement will be broken.

Paul Singer, Influential Billionaire, Throws Support to Marco Rubio for President
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/31/us/politics/paul-singer-influential-billionaire-throws-support-to-marco-rubio-for-president.html?ref=politics
Many experts believe Marco Rubio is the Republican candidate with the best shot at knocking of Democratic hopeful Hillary Clinton. With counterpart Jeb Bush now falling behind in revenue, Mr. Singer's support for Rubio will help increase his networking to the American people. Although, Hillary Clinton is surging ahead in polls, Rubio's Hispanic appeal will give him the slight edge against other Republican candidates. Mr. Singer previously has helped Mitt Romney get elected as the Republican nominee for presidency. I think with Mr. Singer's support Rubio can make the push to surge ahead of Donald Trump in the elections. Jeb Bush's poll numbers are declining and both opponents were lobbying for New York mastermind Singer to throw his support behind them. This new turn of events will help hype the Republican platform and make things more heated as Election day dawns closer.

Hillary Clinton to call for ending racial profiling and disparities in crack cocaine sentences
In this article, Hilary Clinton lays down her plans to stop racial profiling in the criminal justice system and to eliminate the distinction between crack cocaine possession and powder cocaine possession. I agree with Clinton's stance to end racism in America and think that it is unfair for blacks to be targeted as suspects for criminal activity. However, in her support for putting body cameras on every police officer, I do not agree with her for many reasons. One, is that to but body on every police officer is extremely expensive, so where would she find the money to sponsor all of those. Second, body cameras can easily be broken intentionally or accidentally, which would be futile if a controversial case were to happen that day. Third, the position of the camera may not capture the most important evidence that may show whether or not the police or the civilian was at fault. Despite this issue, I think that Hilary Clinton is right in all her plans to stop racism in America.
