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...
Former President Bill Clinton began campaigning for Hillary Clinton this week. With less than four weeks before the first votes are cast, many campaigns are shaking up their tactics. Hillary is now enlisting Bill, Trump has ads and Christie is heading to Iowa. But will these new methods work?Just like Joe Biden though, Bill Clinton is known for his gaffes. In 2008 too, he made some controversial and unfortunate statements, and many saw him as a liability to his wife's campaign. This time around, he has been noticeably missing from the campaign trail, only appearing in some family gatherings with Chelsea Clinton too. However as 2016 arrives, Bill Clinton, one of America's most loved politicians, will start to heavily campaign for Hillary in both Iowa and New Hampshire.
This is a change of direction for the campaign as they hope to solidify their lead in Iowa, and fight back in New Hampshire. Bill Clinton though seems to be tightly monitored and censored to make sure he says the right things and doesn't make a mistake. He was focused on Hillary's foreign policy excellence and her values as a woman leader. He also had some meet-and-greet's with members of the public in diners, but he stayed away from answering questions about his sex life. A topic that Donald Trump dusted off during the weekend.
Yes it is back. As if Republicans wouldn't already have thousands of fronts on which they can attack Hillary (and rightly). The 90's is the 90's, perhaps it would be better if it would stay that way.
Donald Trump, although he doesn't seem to need it, always comes up with new lines of attack. Attacking Bill Clinton for his sex scandals and unfaithfulness surely plays well with the Conservatives and maybe even the women, but it is unclear if it will hurt the popularity of the Clintons. Another new strategy that Trump has started 2016 off with are TV ads. It is unbelievable, but for the past seven months of his campaign, he had no TV ads. He didn't need them, his controversial remarks got him more than enough coverage anyways.
Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are not the only ones who start the year off differently. Chris Christie has returned to Iowa. Months after focusing his dying resources and campaign only on New Hampshire, it seems like it has payed off. He is now in a comfortable position, and could even win. Though he probably won't. Some people would stay there to make sure that he finishes well, but not Christie. He is now focusing on Iowa to have a better finish there, and hopes that maybe a good start can cement his victory in New Hampshire. We'll see.
Jeb Bush is now increasing his focus in South Carolina and Nevada, while Bernie Sanders is attacking Wall Street even more, while courting supporters in New York and those Republican leaning voters who seem to favour Donald Trump.
Why not support the other crazy looking old white guy instead?
