If they want ideas for shows, how about life at uni, in the us, for the year 2016. Over here in Europe, we either get the view that it is like back in revenge of the nerds movies, or worse, stuff like this: Http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-03-24/emory-students-scared-pain-after-safe-space-violated-word-trump-written-chalk Hopefully it is not like revenge of the nerds in 2016, and hopefully it is also not full of students crying in "safe" spaces. Might even be interesting!

You're getting downvoted because Trump is anti-intellectual, anti-small-business, and anti-American. Everyone should feel violated by even knowing he exists. He is everything America isn't. If he becomes President (very unlikely), say goodbye to the Valley, say goodbye to every startup scene in this country, and watch the money flee to pro-business nations. Side note, I expect to be also downvoted for my view (and for discussing politics on HN at all), but I don't really care.

  > Side note, I expect to be also downvoted for my view If anything, I expect you're likely to be downvoted for your statement that 'Everyone should feel violated by even knowing he exists', rather than because you don't support Trump. I don't support Trump, but I don't feel violated for knowing he exists.

    It's hate speech. Misogynist, racist, anti-intellectual and isolationist with bonus lying and flip flopping. If you don't feel violated, do you at least feel offended?

      I feel offended by a lot of what he says. He is not the first, and neither will he be the last U.S. politician (or even presidential candidate) to make me feel that way. In any case, the answer to offensive speech is more speech that educates, not shrill denunciations of the person making that speech.

  > He is everything America isn't. Are you sure about that? Because he seems to be everything that America is or aspires to be (loud, brash, opinionated, ignorant, rich, etc...). I personally can't think of a more "American" candidate than Trump...
