Presidential Candidates And Their Policies

Political candidates often run for the same position and have a common goal to become President. The way in which they approach their Presidency may differ. That is the case for two of the Democratic Candidates of the 2016 Election, Bernie Sanders and Hilary Clinton. Both Candidates have similar views on Women’s rights, yet they differ on issues of Education cost, foreign policy, etc.

When most people think of Donald Trump, and Bernie Sanders, there are few, if any similarities, that generally initially come to mind. Mr. Trump is a recognized figure throughout the world, where far fewer people were even aware of Mr. Sanders, until quite recently. However, in this early stage of our political season, both men have put together and enjoyed far more support, than most of us probably believed would be the case, just a very short time ago. Personality-wise, the two individuals are miles apart; Mr. Trump being far more brash, edgy, confrontational and showy, while Mr. Sanders appears far more reserved, content and issues-oriented, etc. One man seems to eagerly belittle and attack his opponents, while the other avoids personal

Neoconservativism has been defined as a political movement born in the United States during the 1960’s among Democrats who became disenchanted with the party 's domestic and especially foreign policy. That is a fine definition if one grew up in that era and understood what was going on, or if everyone knew what the parties domestic and foreign policies were. However, not everyone can lay claim to either of those options as true to them. So one must take the time to understand the rise of this conservative movement. Once the understanding is established, you must be able to participate in polite happy hour conversation. Such as, what lead to the rise of conservatism, how it impacted the nation and how it is continuing to impact the nation?

In the 2016 election, the two candidates running for President are: Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. Many people voting in this year's election are wanting someone different, someone who can get their points across. People are wanting someone who says, and will, make a difference in the world. America is filled with many disagreements and issues, especially on security as in NSA Surveillance; they also have issues on terrorists, and how they interrogate and torture them.

The United States economy has always had its ups and downs like the rest of the world’s economies. Since December 2007 it has been in a recession, and it has not been able to come out of it yet; with the passage of time, we sink even more. Our current president Barack Obama has certain strategies to take us out of this, even though according to economists that recession ended since June 2009, the economy is growing too slow and the number of unemployed people is outrageous. For the 2012 elections many Republican candidates are trying to formulate new plans that differ from those that Obama has worked out, all these are strategies to get elected as presidents or in Obama’s case, reelected.

I chose Bernie sanders as the candidate that I would vote for. A couple of issues that I care about that Sanders also stands for are healthcare for all and same-sex marriage. Sanders position on everyone being able to have healthcare is supportive. In an interview with Ezra Klein of Vox, Sanders responded with, “Health care, to my mind, is a right of all people. That's what I believe. I think every man, woman, and child is entitled to health care”(1). He believes that healthcare should not be something that we have to qualify and fight for but that it should be our right to have good healthcare. He made a point by saying that despite having the affordable care act, we still have so many people that are still uninsured and underinsured while our country is paying almost double what any other nation faces (2). Sanders is for healthcare for all because he believes it’s our right to it despite our income and not be discriminated against for reasons such as our gender or previous health issues. He believes we shouldn’t be discriminated against just because we might have had a health issue that the insurance companies consider a higher risk of needing help later, which would mean

As the 2016 Presidential Election starts to close in on the primaries, we are now beginning to see the front-runners in both political parties. Donald Trump, who has been far ahead of the other Republican candidates almost the entire race, seems more and more likely to snag the Republican nominee, while Bernie Sanders has continued to climb in the polls on the Democratic side. Whether the next President is going to be Donald Trump, Bernie Sanders, or another candidate, it is inevitable that they will have to come up with a plan for gun control, health care, and have a foreign policy that can deal with the problems we face today. As Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders both represent different parties, some of their ideas still overlap one

According to New York Times, one phenomenal remark from the candidate himself upon this certain topic is: “I voted against the Defense of Marriage Act 20 years ago, and I am glad to see the US make remarkable progress on LGBT rights since then… We must end discrimination in all forms.” (“How Bernie Sanders”) Sanders’s support in these political rights is evidently prominent as shown in one particular moment shown in 1996 when Sanders was only one of the sixty-seven members in the House of Representatives to vote against the Defense of Marriage Act. Unlike Hillary Clinton, who is also a democratic presidential candidate, her support for marriage equality just began. But before she claimed to support it, she voted for the Defense of Marriage Act and had not support marriage equality until just recently in 2013, claiming, “I support gay marriage personally and as a law.” (“Hillary Clinton’s”) Thus, although both candidates may support marriage equality, his unwavering and long-term views on marriage equality are why I support him to become the president of our

This paper will focus on some issues addressed by 2016 presidential candidates from Republic and Democratic Party. These presidential candidates are Hillary Clinton, Ben Carson, Bernie Sanders and Donald Trumps. Some of the issues that will be addressed are gun laws, abortion, immigration, same sex marriages and taxes.

The 2016 Presidential election is coming up and candidates are fighting to get votes to be their party’s candidate. Ted Cruz is a Republican Protestant running for President with very conservative values hoping to bring America the change it needs. The Republicans have many people running for office that excite voters’ interest because they are not politicians. Although, Ted Cruz is a politician and stands behind it using his background in politics to gain ground. His political ad “Blessing” shows him as a man grounded in religious values and will use those values to be the best candidate for President of the United States. Ted Cruz successfully appeals to religious Republicans using different rhetorical strategies to persuade them to vote for him to be the Republican candidate for the 2016 Presidential election.

After every four years, American voters elect the president of their choice to lead the government. Voters are expected to turn up in large numbers and exercise their democratic right. Elections in America are critical because they determine how the country will be run and ultimately the future of the nation. It is always an historic moment as the rest of the world waits to see the outcome of the elections. Indeed, America has been known as the free nation where democracy prevails. This year, it is going to be either Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump. After successfully winning nominations to be flag bearers for their parties, both candidates are doing their best to win the American voters. However, it is surprising that both the two candidates have negative ratings more than any other previous candidates (Page). Both Clinton and Trump have been facing legal controversies that make the American people lose confidence in the whole process. But despite their shortcomings, these year’s presidential elections would be unique where if elected Clinton would be the first female president while Trump the first president who had no previous experience either in the government of the military.

With the 2016 Presidential Election taking place in just under a year, the media has been thoroughly focusing on our nation's issues and the hopeful candidates, particularly republican candidate Donald Trump. Trump is a well known business magnate who has taken the nation by surprise as he has continuously lead the GOP polls despite the fact that the attention Trump has received has been primarily negative. The success of Donal Trump's run for president thus far is truly implausible as Trump's inappropriate racist and sexist comments have overrun the news for months. The United States is a far-from-perfect nation and Donal Trump is openly contributing to the abiding social issues of racism and sexism the nation has dealt with for centuries;

Lucy Mercer, Madeline Brown, and Kay Summersby all have one thing in common. All of these women have changed political history by involving political candidates in scandalous affairs. Candidates must provide the most professional front in order to persuade the public to vote for them. Regarding the topic, the president of the Pew Research Center, Andrew Kohut says, “Generally, the issues matter most in voters’ judgments about presidential candidates, but personality, character and values are not far behind.” It can be difficult for a voter to judge a candidate’s characteristics without knowing their private life, but one’s professional life is more important to know about a candidate. Everyone has personal information that they keep from others;

During presidential elections in the United States, it has become customary for the main candidates (almost always the candidates of the two largest parties, currently the Democratic Party and the Republican Party) to engage in a debate. The topics discussed in the debate are often the most controversial issues of the time, and arguably elections have been nearly decided by these debates (e.g., Nixon vs. Kennedy). Candidate debates are not constitutionally mandated, but it is now considered a de facto election process. The debates are targeted mainly at undecided voters; those who tend not to be partial to any political ideology or party.[2]Presidential debates are held late in the election cycle, after the political parties have nominated

In the movie “The Candidate” I thought that the film was very interesting to me, being a person that has never been interested in politics. I found it interesting even though I am not for sure if this is the way that campaigns are run now. I thought it was nice to see how some candidates may be chosen, especially in this film because he was not expected to win the election. He was not even interested in politics although his father was once governor. The film showed how the campaign was ran and managed by his advisors. Although not expected to win the election, he somehow
