Views of Republicans on the presidential election of 2016 with candidates Trump, Cruz and Kasich

03/25/2016

Letters to the Editor take issue with a WSJ editorial saying Kasich or some other Republican could be the nominee if Trump does not win on the first ballot. The letters say Cruz has the vote of more Republicans without other candidates fragmenting the vote, and cross over Democrats voting for Trump in open primaries. The letters ask how may of these Democrats voting for Trump will vote for Trump in the general election, instead favoring Hillary Clinton.

How the media created the Trump surge- $1.9 billion in media coverage according to the Times, a lack of proper vetting of the candidate, and missing the plight of struggling working class voters

03/26/2016

The media may have also made the mistake of thinking the Trump candidacy would fade, that it was some kind of television publicity move. Other reasons played a part- the fragmentation in the vote with many candidates, the lack of candidates who could seriously connect with voter anxiety about security, drugs, uncertainty about jobs, Trump's experience as a television personality simplifying issues with slogans. The media reflection comes in March 2016 with a series of wins by Trump in southern and midwestern states. Journalists like Tom Brokaw feel stymied by the change in attitudes of viewers who did not take vetting seriously when he tried, and veteran journalist Bob Schieffer also sees a change in attitudes. Voters seemed to be sending a message about the disconnect with them of the elites. The whole process dragged down civility and values in public life with the deterioration in the campaigning to very low levels by March 2016, leaving the media a lot to reflect on and correct.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
