Republicans play the Trump card
Why a narcissistic, misogynist, supremacist captured 57% approval from Republican voters according to the Washington Post
September 16, 2015
Donald Trump, entrepreneur, supreme captain of Miss USA and worth over 4 billion dollars is responsible for the failure of the US democratic process. Now he has a skyrocketing approval rating among his republican compatriots despite his various policies. This might be entirely shocking to you, and it may make you want to curl up on the floor and cry yourself to sleep while scraping at the last scoops of Ben and Jerry’s Chocolate Therapy ice cream, but don’t.
Here’s why: one, you’re in a bathroom, and two, America hasn’t failed you yet. This poll by no means guarantees him the presidential nomination, or even a bid. Because, while promoting republican ideals to the near extreme, he quite obviously offended key demographics. Trumps goal to “Make America Great Again” is to limit the Hispanic population along with immigrants. Trump, if you can recall, accused Mexican immigrants of being “Mexico’s worst,” further deepening the hole he had dug himself by calling migrants rapists and drug dealers. As you can logically assume, his net favorability rating from Latino voters is down 51%, for an overall rating of 14%. More so, Latin Americans make up large portions of swing states, such as Florida and California.
The military, another key demographic at the polls, dropped severely when Trump said that John McCain is “not a war hero,” because “[he] prefer[s]… [His] soldiers to not get captured.” Now if you are unaware, McCain was a POW during the Vietnamese war, suffering from torture and starvation during his internment. Not only did Trump blatantly disrespect a key figure of the Republican Party, he also lost favor among service members, specifically Vietnam veterans, who compose the single most important participatory unity in politics: the elderly. So the big-mouthed glutton has met with the double edged sword of bigotry corralling the early political savvy cultural supremacist, but severing any bilateral work with key voters.

Senior student director Mia Morneault says how much she’s enjoyed working with the cast and crew. “I am very proud of all the cast and crew who worked as hard on it as I have. A lot of people care about [this show],” Morneault said. “I have a lot of friends on the cast and on the crew, but I’ve also grown and gained friendships through the show, even as director where I may be a little more stricter than normal. And I am very grateful for everyone I’ve gotten to work with.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/DSC_0657-1200x800.jpg)

Kato’s painting is a political piece inspired by a photo of elementary schoolers in the street protesting against ICE. “I think it's also symbolic because they're surrounded by snow, which can represent ICE, and they are still marching,” Kato said. “[The kids] are not stopping until equality or justice is served, which I think is really important to represent and show.” Photo by John Pinion](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-03-26-114740.png)

Yearbook won 43, newspaper won 14 and broadcast took home nine. “I think [the ILPC awards] are a great way to give the kids some acknowledgement for all of their hard work,” newspaper and yearbook adviser Paige Hert said. “They typically spend the year covering everyone else’s big moments, so it’s really cool for them to be celebrated so many times and in so many different ways.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/edited-ILPC.jpg)

The varsity baseball team played in the bi-district round of playoffs against the Boerne Greyhounds April 30-May 2, where they won Game 1 6-4, lost Game 2 2-1 and won the last game 5-2, allowing them to advance to area. “Honestly, [my favorite] big moment that wasn't even part of my moment was Dom's grand slam,” Cuevas said. “That was a big game changer in Game 1 of round one that ultimately helped us win that game and even move on. It set the tone for the games after and has really impacted and sparked this whole playoff run.” Photo by Allie Tseng](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/allie-boerne00159-1200x800.jpg)

Hill rushed for three touchdowns in the 43-36 loss against Frisco Wakeland last Friday, but the Timberwolves were eliminated from playoff contention. “[I’m] just happy I got to experience the game with my brothers,” Hill said. “I’m going to remember how close and how enjoyable everything was with these guys. They are my brothers for life. Just waking up and grinding together, and proving the naysayers wrong [was my favorite part].”
