THEBLUEBANNER.NET OCT. 25,2016 19 Beat from the Street From page 14 ‘I love dancing’ can just be a second set of three words as well. “Yeah, I love dancing. Actually, can you just do that? That’s how I would de scribe myself. I love dancing. Dancing is good.” Yeah, dancing is wonderful. So if you were to describe one thing you like about Asheville and one thing you dis like about Asheville, what would you say? “I think what I dislike about Asheville is how homogeneous it is. I don’t see a Women's soccer lot of different stuff so much. You know, it’s really small and everybody knows each other and people are kind of the same. That’s not super cool. But what is cool, I guess, is that at the same time, even in a really small place, there’s al ways something kind of fun to do. Peo ple are really nice and there’s always karaoke, karaoke and dancing.” Yeah, trashy karaoke. “Trashy karaoke is my thing. I go to karaoke Sundays and Wednesdays and Mondays.” From page 9 the winner. “I was really excited when it went in because we really needed a goal and once we scored I knew we’d be line,” Naber said. “I was confident in our team to hold them off.” Spano said she appreciated the extra effort from her teammates even though the finality of this match didn’t affect her game. “Being the last game didn’t really im pact the way T played,” Spano said. “I just focused on the energy that the team was providing and focused on giving ev erything I had for the team.” Assistant Coach Mike Skelton said he was pleased with the performance. “We did good work pressing Winthrop all over the field and forcing turnovers, which allowed us to keep possession Kaine protesters From page 7 after repeatedly driving around the WT Weaver roundabout waving a large ■Trump flag from their convertible. This kind of behavior is unnecessary and sim ply adds validity toward the argument describing Trump supporters as ignorant and fearless to a fault. The collective identity Trump support ers represent is a creation of their own doing. By acting out in a violent, racist or deliberately offensive manner they leave themselves with no stable position to voice their concerns. By shunning all other voices and minority opinions, they effectively silence themselves because nobody wants to hear what they have to say, except themselves. and attack,” Skelton Said. “The players did a great job of managing the game and the clock and keeping them from creating dangerous opportunities after we had the lead.”. The Bulldogs looked dominant throughout the entire game. Their ball movement was accurate, the defense made great stops and the they even had a couple of skillful jukes which drew em phatic approval from the crowd. Skelton said their next opponent. Lib erty University, is historically a top team in the conference. “Ideally, we’d like to go there and walk out with a win,” Skelton said. “But we’ll be happy if we can continue play ing good soccer and have a positive out ing to move forward into the conference playoffs with momentum.” Nice, you have a schedule lined up. “I have a karaoke schedule and I think that’s kind of my favorite thing about Asheville is being able to do that.” So, do you have a personal life motto that you live by? “My grandmother always told me that it was dishonest to go into a 10 item or less checkout lane with 12 items. That’s kind of my thing. I get flustered a lot and I don’t like it when people do that and I don’t do that, so I try and, I don’t know, it means something to me. I’m not total- Clinton's presidency ly sure what it means but I think that if you have 10 items^you should go in the 10 item checkout lane and it applies in other parts of your life, too. Not that I’m a rule follower, you know? I’m certainly not a square.” No, no, no. You’re beyond the square. “I’m beyond the square, but I think there’s something about that, that she told me that’s important.” From page 8 the nominee and then withdrew their en dorsements after the release of a record ing of his sexually explicit comments are now able to wash their hands of him, thanks to Clinton. Imagine if she had spent the last sev eral months tying the GOP to Trump in stead of distancing the two. Democrats would have a better chance of winning congressional seats, thereby giving Con gress a chance of legislating Clinton’s campaign promises, but that seems less likely now. To be sure, a Trump presidency would be disastrous. His comprehension of domestic and foreign policy is lacking. He changes his political positions on a whim. His dog-whistle politics provides a lectern on which racists and sexists can amplify their voices. He does not belong in the White House, but he does repre sent an increasing level of dissatisfaction and frustration existing within the elec torate. These feelings will not suddenly vanish if Trump is not elected. Sen. Bemie Sanders’ campaign simi larly-represented a populist dissatisfac tion and frustration on the other end of the political spectrum. The grievances expressed by his supporters are also here to stay. Clinton’s “Stronger Together” slogan is meaningless. The divide between and within the two major political parties is increasing and if her tepid approach to this election is any indication of what her presidency will be like, we should expect to see a similar, if not more polarized, political climate in 2020.
