Of course, one Trump supporter has been Peter Thiel, a co-founder of PayPal and an early investor in Facebook. In late October, Thiel's $1.25 million donation to the Trump campaign was the source of \u003ca href=\"http://elections.kqed.org/article/11145796/is-silicon-valley-having-a-teachable-moment-about-implicit-bias\" target=\"_blank\">fierce controversy \u003c/a>in the valley. Some accused Thiel of supporting\u003ca href=\"https://medium.com/projectinclude/peter-thiel-yc-and-hard-decisions-2b91bab83764#.yct8iwod8\" target=\"_blank\"> hate speech\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re voting for Trump because we judge the leadership of our country to have failed,” Thiel said in his defense at a press conference this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But \u003ca href=\"http://www.inc.com/tess-townsend/future-of-ai-at-box.html\" target=\"_blank\">Aaron Levie\u003c/a> thinks a Trump presidency is a threat to the tech industry. Levie is a co-founder and CEO of Box. The Redwood City-based company provides online storage and collaboration tools to companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not a given that America will be at the forefront of technology,” said Levie, who also signed the open letter against Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As we race forward into a digital and information economy, Levie said, Silicon Valley’s success depends on training workers in the U.S. and attracting high-skilled workers from around the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Which means that we have to have massive reform that we need in our education systems,” he said. “We need massive reform in our immigration process.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Levie said policy reform is needed in Washington around big issues confronting the technology sector, like encryption and privacy. He said Hillary Clinton’s policies best address those needs. And how do Clinton’s policies stack up against Trump's?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I didn’t get the tech policies from the Trump side, so the outreach of the Trump campaign to the technology industry has been extremely limited to negligible,” Levie said. “So I don’t know how to compare and contrast to his policies. I only know how to compare and contrast to his rhetoric.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And he said Trump’s rhetoric hasn’t been reassuring to the tech industry. He cites Trump's idea to ask Bill Gates to help shut down parts of the internet in response to terrorism. And Trump has also called for a\u003ca href=\"http://www.cnn.com/2016/02/19/politics/donald-trump-apple-boycott/\" target=\"_blank\"> boycott of Apple \u003c/a>for refusing to unlock the iPhone of one of the San Bernardino shooters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump “has shown such naive understanding of technology, it’s hard to even begin,” Levie said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s not to say he discounts Trump supporters. He said this election has exposed the serious challenges American workers face, in part because of technological disruption. Levie's hope? That once the sound and fury of Trump dies down, tech leaders will start working with government to address these concerns, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story is part of our ongoing series on Techquity: Diversity, Inclusion and Equity in Silicon Valley. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Some accused Thiel of supporting\u003ca href=\"https://medium.com/projectinclude/peter-thiel-yc-and-hard-decisions-2b91bab83764#.yct8iwod8\" target=\"_blank\"> hate speech\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re voting for Trump because we judge the leadership of our country to have failed,” Thiel said in his defense at a press conference this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But \u003ca href=\"http://www.inc.com/tess-townsend/future-of-ai-at-box.html\" target=\"_blank\">Aaron Levie\u003c/a> thinks a Trump presidency is a threat to the tech industry. Levie is a co-founder and CEO of Box. The Redwood City-based company provides online storage and collaboration tools to companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not a given that America will be at the forefront of technology,” said Levie, who also signed the open letter against Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As we race forward into a digital and information economy, Levie said, Silicon Valley’s success depends on training workers in the U.S. and attracting high-skilled workers from around the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Which means that we have to have massive reform that we need in our education systems,” he said. “We need massive reform in our immigration process.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Levie said policy reform is needed in Washington around big issues confronting the technology sector, like encryption and privacy. He said Hillary Clinton’s policies best address those needs. And how do Clinton’s policies stack up against Trump's?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I didn’t get the tech policies from the Trump side, so the outreach of the Trump campaign to the technology industry has been extremely limited to negligible,” Levie said. “So I don’t know how to compare and contrast to his policies. I only know how to compare and contrast to his rhetoric.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And he said Trump’s rhetoric hasn’t been reassuring to the tech industry. He cites Trump's idea to ask Bill Gates to help shut down parts of the internet in response to terrorism. And Trump has also called for a\u003ca href=\"http://www.cnn.com/2016/02/19/politics/donald-trump-apple-boycott/\" target=\"_blank\"> boycott of Apple \u003c/a>for refusing to unlock the iPhone of one of the San Bernardino shooters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump “has shown such naive understanding of technology, it’s hard to even begin,” Levie said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s not to say he discounts Trump supporters. He said this election has exposed the serious challenges American workers face, in part because of technological disruption. Levie's hope? That once the sound and fury of Trump dies down, tech leaders will start working with government to address these concerns, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

(Actually, it is \u003ca href=\"http://www.sears.com/eagleview-usa-hillary-clinton-political-novelty-nutcracker-2016/p-SPM8050066527?sid=IDx20110310x00001i&gclid=CjwKEAjw-abABRDquOTJi8qdojwSJABt1S1OsOSSTRBedURLf4Ki1jJ_3WtJVUDaffdHW8wd1P9cDxoCRBXw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds\" target=\"_blank\">back for 2016\u003c/a> with a longer suit jacket to match Clinton's new style).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But this time — as she gets closer to that highest, hardest glass ceiling — it's even more out in the open, said Debbie Walsh, who heads the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It is ironic in so many ways,\" Walsh said, \"that the person that this woman is running against kind of is almost a caricature of this uber-masculine guy with just tremendous bravado.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So maybe it was fitting that in the waning minutes of the final debate, as Clinton was answering a question about Social Security — and again getting in a dig at her opponent's taxes — Trump would interrupt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Such a nasty woman,\" he interjected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

When he’s not campaigning, he’s stumping for cash. And he's getting help. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has targeted the 49th Congressional District, to try and flip this traditionally red district blue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Applegate won’t say how much he has raised, but in the last month he spent a week in Washington. Before a campaign stop outside the VA hospital in La Jolla, he had just come back from Seattle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rather than Trump’s unpopularity in California, Applegate blames Issa for his poor showing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think it’s the hand-built negatives of Darrell Issa himself,” Applegate said. “He doesn’t come back to talk to people. He certainly doesn’t come back and talk to vets.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Applegate is still an unknown. After he left active duty as a Marine in the 1980s, he remained in Southern California. He was a reserve officer and an attorney when he was called up in 2006 to serve in Iraq around Ramadi. As an attorney he represented cops and criminals. In 2008, he was part of a legal team that defended a former \u003ca href=\"http://www.cbsnews.com/news/ex-marine-accused-of-war-crime-speaks-out-17-08-2008/\">Marine sergeant\u003c/a> from Riverside, who was the first soldier charged with war crimes in civilian court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Applegate said he hadn’t considered running for office before this election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11126844\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11126844\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/Applegate800-800x456.jpg\" alt=\"Congressional candidate Doug Applegate talks to students at a Democratic event at UC San Diego. \" width=\"800\" height=\"456\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/Applegate800.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/Applegate800-400x228.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Congressional candidate Doug Applegate talks to students at a Democratic event at UC San Diego. \u003ccite>(Matthew Bowler/KPBS)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“I’ve enjoyed being a Marine officer, no matter what I was doing.

Applegate’s ex-wife released a statement supporting Applegate’s campaign. An Applegate ad featured a 2011 New York Times story that accused Issa — often considered the richest member of Congress — of steering congressional earmarks to benefit some of his real estate holdings. Issa threatened a lawsuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The falsehoods there, and then him, turning it into an outright lie,” Issa said. “You know, that’s what this campaign is about for him.

When he’s not campaigning, he’s stumping for cash. And he's getting help. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has targeted the 49th Congressional District, to try and flip this traditionally red district blue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Applegate won’t say how much he has raised, but in the last month he spent a week in Washington. Before a campaign stop outside the VA hospital in La Jolla, he had just come back from Seattle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rather than Trump’s unpopularity in California, Applegate blames Issa for his poor showing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think it’s the hand-built negatives of Darrell Issa himself,” Applegate said. “He doesn’t come back to talk to people. He certainly doesn’t come back and talk to vets.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Applegate is still an unknown. After he left active duty as a Marine in the 1980s, he remained in Southern California. He was a reserve officer and an attorney when he was called up in 2006 to serve in Iraq around Ramadi. As an attorney he represented cops and criminals. In 2008, he was part of a legal team that defended a former \u003ca href=\"http://www.cbsnews.com/news/ex-marine-accused-of-war-crime-speaks-out-17-08-2008/\">Marine sergeant\u003c/a> from Riverside, who was the first soldier charged with war crimes in civilian court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Applegate said he hadn’t considered running for office before this election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11126844\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11126844\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/Applegate800-800x456.jpg\" alt=\"Congressional candidate Doug Applegate talks to students at a Democratic event at UC San Diego. \" width=\"800\" height=\"456\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/Applegate800.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/Applegate800-400x228.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Congressional candidate Doug Applegate talks to students at a Democratic event at UC San Diego. \u003ccite>(Matthew Bowler/KPBS)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“I’ve enjoyed being a Marine officer, no matter what I was doing.

I think I’m better prepared than most people sitting on the hill when they first got there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The general election has heated up quickly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Issa put out a mailer highlighting Applegate’s divorce in the early 2000s, where a judge issued two temporary restraining orders against him. Applegate’s ex-wife released a statement supporting Applegate’s campaign. An Applegate ad featured a 2011 New York Times story that accused Issa — often considered the richest member of Congress — of steering congressional earmarks to benefit some of his real estate holdings. Issa threatened a lawsuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The falsehoods there, and then him, turning it into an outright lie,” Issa said. “You know, that’s what this campaign is about for him. For me, I’m going to win by double digits. I’m going to win by double digits running on a record of what I’ve done in Washington. And I am proud of holding two administrations accountable.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans still hold more than an \u003ca href=\"http://elections.cdn.sos.ca.gov//ror/ror-pages/124day-gen-16/congressional.pdf\">8-point\u003c/a> advantage in the number of voters registered in the 49th Congressional District, which includes Del Mar, Solana Beach, Encinitas, Carlsbad, Oceanside, Vista and San Clemente.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The question is — now that both sides are actively campaigning — who will come out to vote in November?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
