California just made a huge positive step in Healthcare

Governor Jerry Brown made California the fourth state in the US on Monday to allow physician assisted dying. Yes, only the fourth, and it's disappointing that the numbers (or the lack of) overshadow the real achievement. Everyone has the right to live, and everyone should have the right to die. Of course life is sacred, but the opponents of this law must not seriously think that California's true intentions are to have a genocide. They simply just want to help those people who have no hope of a cure, and are suffering. That's it, there is no story here, Everyone is allowed to make their decisions about their life and body. If you can go and get an abortion from a professional, you should also be able to go to your doctor to die. They are there to help you and to lessen your pain. In any way possible. Of course we support that background checks must take place, and several doctors (including psychologists) should sign off before you are allowed to die. You sho...

Hillary's turning point

Ethan Miller/Getty Images Hillary Clinton had a terrible summer. No one would have expected this. Just absolutely  dreadful. But now she is back, and she looks stronger and more confident than ever. She just had the best week of her campaign, and probably the best week in the past few years. The Vice President announced on Wednesday that he is not running for President in 2016. Joe Biden ended months of speculation, after he confirmed that he is not running despite a heavy buzz for him and relatively high polling numbers. Over the past six months there was heavy speculation regarding his candidacy, but Biden now declared that he had ‘run out of time’. Most analysts said that the latest probable time that Biden should have entered the race was before last week’s debate. Biden’s son, Beau, died in May from cancer and wished that his father join the race. Over the summer there were lots of positive signs of a Biden candidacy, and it is clear that he was heavil...

Clinton trails for the first time

Hillary Clinton has so far always lead the Democratic filed with an incredibly big lead of around 50 percentage points. Even with the surge of Bernie Sanders, she was able to maintain a lead of well over 40 points.  Till now, she hasn't really faced any big problems in the polls except for her trustworthiness, or the lack of it to be more precise. For months now, polls after polls showed that the American people have doubts about her, and most of them just simply don't trust her. Scandals about the Clinton Foundation and the use of private emails during her tenure as the Secretary of State convinced the public that she is hiding big secrets. While Clinton acknowledged these problems in her recent CNN interview, and addressed them, her team wasn't really that worried. But now they have big things to worry about. So far she hasn't only led the Democratic field for the nomination, she also led nationwide polls against all Republican candidates. But that has c...

The Trumpmania continues

Donald Trump has shown no signs of slowing down. In the most recent poll, he leads the Republican Pack with 24% of the support, and is currently the clear frontrunner for the GOP's nomination. Trump has been generating a lot of attention lately with his outrageous comments about the Mexican Immigrants and questioning John McCain's war-hero status. He has received a lot of criticism for his behaviour almost unanimously from everyone, even the Republican Party and most of his fellow GOP candidates.  However, his poll numbers suggest that many people are able to connect with him, as he is completely different than the other candidates, and is not afraid to criticise or say anything. He is also very trusted on the economy, and his firm stance against ISIS. Trump on the other hand is also the leading candidate on the poll that surveyed who people would not vote for under any circumstance, and that is not a good sign for him. Candidates such as George Pataki, Lindsey...
