BOSTON – Former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld, tapped as a running mate by Libertarian Party presidential candidate Gary Johnson, is no fan of presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump's stance on immigration issues.
Weld, a registered Republican who lives in Canton, kicked off his bid to become vice president with a bang, telling the New York Times that he can "hear the glass crunching on Kristallnacht in the ghettos of Warsaw and Vienna," a reference to the birth of Adolf Hitler's Nazi Germany, whenever he hears about Trump's plan to deport the roughly 11 million illegal immigrants currently residing in the U.S.
Shark Tank has been a popular reality TV show on ABC since its debut in 2009. Conceptually, the hour-long program allows business aspirants to pitch an idea to six venture capitalists who have already made their millions and billions through entrepreneurship. Pitching, evaluating, negotiating a product's worth through rapid fire give-and-take exchanges between wannabes and already-bes, the show concluded its seventh season Friday night with a young Boston business woman center stage.
On the finale, Tania Green, a 2008 graduate of Gordon College who also holds a Master's Degree from Simmons College, imaginatively pitched a PMS relief product to the Shark Tank team. She was articulate, humorous, and professional; as quick to share samples of her perfectly packaged chocolatey relief packs as she was to reel off her corporate statistics. Shark Tank members gobbled up her morsel-sized product while listening to her proposed VC funding of $50,000 in exchange for partial ownership of PMS BITES.
