Decent Essays

Who is the Better Candidate : Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton? The Presidential election is one of the most heated topics in our media today. Although there are other candidates running for president, it seems Donald Trump, and Hillary Clinton are the two candidates talked about the most in the media. They are well known for their political arguments that are televised across the nation. Some say that neither of these candidates should win, and others would disagree. Does either candidate have what it takes to become the president of the United States of America? In my opinion, neither candidate should be elected as president. An explanation as to why neither candidate should be elected are the pro’s and con’s that both candidates have …show more content…

This difference being that Hillary Clinton is a woman who is running for president. Just as the media talks about Trump, Clinton is just as easily talked about.

Overall I would have to say that neither candidate has truly proven to be better than the other. However I chose Trump and Clinton for one specific reason, and that was to do an experiment on both to see what kind of candidate they were, and what their methods
