Please refrain from voting if you don't bother with 'political nonsense'.
By the way, I did some quick digging and found some quotes to you:
In a book written by John R. O'Donnell, former president of Trump Plaza Hotel & Casino, he wrote that Trump once said to his black accountant: “Laziness is a trait in the blacks. ... Black guys counting my money! I hate it.”
Followed up by: “The only kind of people I want counting my money are little short guys that wear yamakas every day.”

By saying that the mexican immigrants are all "rapists" he is setting up negative stereotypes, surely a presidential candidate should reconsider his words before spreading such nonsense.

Its sad that people are actually voting for Trump. I actually don't know who I am more scared of though, Trump or Sanders. Trump is a lunatic who is making a mockery of the US political system and Sanders will completely crash the economy. Thank god I live in Canada.

If you want to be technical about it, we're ALL immigrants and the only true Americans are the Native Americans. And I seem to have this odd notion that we didn't enter by the Natives' definition of a legal process, either.
But when he's saying he's against illegal immigration, he's not talking about us, is he?
No, what he IS talking about, in its plainest, layman-est term(which is 90% of what Trump speaks to begin with, please note that he always talks in general terms- he's said we're going to go destroy ISIS a hundred times but never says a word about how exactly he intends to do so, he got his ass laughed at when Rubio called him out on his vague plans for health insurance that involved no specifics but instead him repeating the same catch-all phrases he's already said about five hundred times in a row), IS Mexican immigrants.
Interlude: It's funny that you tell me that Trump isn't being racist by calling immigrants rapists, but that I AM a racist for thinking of immigrants as someone from a Latin American country, which happens to be what Trumps' remarks were directed at, using words that leave zero room for interpretation.
/end interlude: Of course there are immigrants from all over the world coming to America. Likewise, there are what could be considered immigrants constantly flowing FROM the U.S. to Canada, all over Europe, and parts of Asia, to name a few. But we're talking apples and oranges. In Trumps' mindset, we're talking "you folks are chill" and "you're crime-ridden rapists."
You've already told us that you haven't researched any of this.
Your opinion is null.
Look some shit up.
At the end of the day, we're voting once every four years between a bunch of liars and the best liar will win.
But if you can't recognize a bad thing when you see it, I encourage you not to vote.
I'm going to take a wild guess(lol) and say you're not a registered voter anyway.
Lol.

We are not all immigrants. I did immigrate here even my great-great grand father did not. The only true immigrants are ones that are born here.
Of coarse I have not "researched" this. Have you? I don't have time for that. Maybe you do. Do you know everything their is to know about all of the canidates? Or do you just know what you have chosen to happen to Google when it tickles your fancy?
How is my opinion null and yours in not?
I am going to take a wild guess and say that I have been a registered voter longer than you have been alive. Kek...
I am also going to go out on a limb and state that I have, more likely than not, had more years of education than you have been alive.

Doesn't have time to research any potential canidates, but has the time to voice his opinion through multiple posts, on multiple threads, using, apparently, multiple accounts.
Spare me your stale, I'm-an-old-man holier than thou attitude.
If you don't want to put any effort whatsoever into researching this jackass trump, but DO continue to refute any and all evidence placed before you("evidence" being subjective because this is, of course, an anonymous forum and virtually anything said by virtually any member must be taken with a grain of salt in the first place), then why did you post your opinion in the first place?

As forewarned [and hereby forearmed], here is "our" path to overcome THIS Thursday's jury diversion for yours truly and the revised schedule for NEXT Thursday's Exam 1 coverage for us all:
I've posted to Canvas each of the following:
1) My "Ch. 2 Lecture/Monsanto/Hunger" ppt which we completed in today's class; I'd recommend/request that you not only use it generally as part of your Exam prep, but also to review for your personal/professional edification the portions of the linked PBS NOW "Food Inc." webpage (such as the "What You Can Do ..." feature to the right of the front-and-center Food Inc. video clip (for personal) as well as (for professional) those specific segments of that actual PBS video clip that I generally referenced in class, such as the first two minutes for an intro to the Director's goals, the "costs" segments from roughly 4:20 to 13:30 minutes ... well, what the heck, watch the first 20 minutes to get the full flavor w/o having to jump over the documentary's clips within the PBS program) -- you can find that PBS link in two different places, including the final "Sources" slide;
2) The second (after H-P) Ch. 3 "case" on CMS Energy: this is a somewhat unique "case" presentation in that it is comprised of press releases/legal documents drawn from my personal files and public records and is NOT done as a traditional "present some facts and lay out simplistic class discussion questions" academic format; rather, it is an accumulation of "source" documents of the type that you'd see in "the real world" -- look to my "class assignment" set-up below for our follow-up on this;
3) The "Ch 3 Lecture,CMS,H-P" ppt that I WOULD have used in Thursday's class presentation to teach Ch. 3's "Corporate Governance" and the residual Ch. 2 "Crisis Management" topics; again, look to my "class assignment" description below for your follow-up on this.
Soooo, what are YOU to do with the above data points while I'M fulfilling my minimal civic responsibility of appearing for jury duty (but admittedly doing everything in my UM Law School socratically/devil's-advocacy/pie-in-the-sky-academically trained powers to avoid actual jury duty), you ask!? Well, WE'RE going to have a quasi/pseudo/virtual class on Ch. 3's topics in the interim period between right now (yes, I'm using NSA spyware to "watch" what you're doing at this very moment via the breach of all your (and UM-D's) encryption protections -- http://joyreactor.com/post/856408 -- so I know if you're being "naughty or nice"!) and next Tuesday's hoped-for (by me if not you) face-to-face class reconnection. This isn't one of those fancy-dancy MOOC classes that are, per academic literature, the precursor to the collapse of the world's education system, nor even the lesser-but-still-much-debated-in-FCS-hallways on-line UM-D MBA courses ("some like it hot' -- because the instructors don't have to deal with those pesky students face-to-face -- "and some like it not" -- because at least I still hope that at least one student will smirk in my classroom at my corny jokes/word plays, while computer screens provide absolutely no chance of an "LOL").
WITH THAT BELABORED INTRODUCTION, here's my kinda-sorta "class assignment", whether or not you wish to accept it (and if you don't, then don't expect a particularly high score in this course at least based on class participation and Exam 1 scores -- "A Word to the Wise"/"Forewarned is Forearmed" and all those other silly phrases I like to throw at you):
-- read the CMS Energy "case" (and "review" - ahem - the H-P case and Ch. 3) as well as my newly-posted Powerpoint presentation covering all three of those Ch. 3 topics, and come to next Tuesday's class ready to co-teach (or perhaps a better characterization is shared-show-and-tell) "our" collective understandings of the topic of Corporate Governance. [ I tho't of providing the CMS Energy Quiz #5 electronically in advance and soliciting your grades electronically in the interim, but even I am not so altruistic after 2 UM-D teaching terms to believe that all students' inbred "ethical" components would result in a "fair and balance" response that appropriately rewarded those of you who actually did all the assigned readings with the full 6 points while unduly "gifting" the others who cheated their way to the same perfect Quiz #5 score with their minimal or no effort! ;-) ]
As always, feel free to contact me via Canvas message or UM-D email with any comments or questions you may have in the interim before our next class. Enjoy the remainder of the week and the extended weekend without time-specific BA400 demands, BUT please Please PLEASE MAKE ME PROUD OF YOU AND COME TO TUESDAY'S CLASS PREPARED FOR A FULSOME, ENGAGED DISCUSSION OF MY SECOND-FAVORITE CSR TOPIC

Take away all your mouse clicks and keyboard smashes from XPoff, and invest them in research about Trump, Bernie and Clinton. You would do us all a favor.

Can't believe that moron in the vid was comparing trump to hitler... Franklin Roosevelt put over a hundred thousand Asians in internment camps during the war and no one brought up a hitler comparison, not to mention Franklin Roosevelt is a democrat. Also, I don't understand why people confuse "legal" Immigration with "illegal" as just about every country has secure boarders and all of a sudden people are racist for wanting a boarder to stop illegal drugs, illegel immigrants etc (which btw is costing us billions every year).
In addition, the democrats were the founders of the KKK, so if anyone should be throwing around the "racist remarks", it shouldn't be hitlery or socialist sanders. Not to mention Bernie sanders is a horrible choice because we all know socialism doesn't work, look at Greece for an example (their economy is trash).
If I were to chose between two people, I would say a Trump/Carson would be a good pick because they will actually put a stop to ISIS (unlike our current POTUS). What I don't understand about the democratic candidates is that they have no specific plan against terrorism. They seem too concerned with "climate change" rather than defeating ISIS. We can also look at Benghazi, which is why Hillary is being investigated as she and her fellow democrats took NO initiative to help out our fellow Americans in Benghazi.
As far as Economics and socialism, why would you bother raising minimum wage at all, just goes to show people prefer to work at a small paying job as if it were an actual career and work there their whole life at a "min wage job" :/ just makes no sense. Goes to show that capitalism > socialism where you work, save for college, and get a higher education = higher salary with equal taxes. Whereas socialism is higher taxes (if Bernie will ever come up with a number
), raised minimum wage, then the prices will be raised to offset the income and it will actually be a lot worse because there would be more of an incentive to not get a better education. This would then create more of a smaller income class and cater less to the middle class as there will be no need to excel for a higher paying job as the minimum wage is greater.
