The 2016 Presidential Candidates and their Policies Of the many Presidential Candidates that America has for the 2016 Presidential Election, there are those who have national television coverage and those whose names haven’t been announced to the world. Two candidates that have been climbing up the voting latter for their respective parties are the Democratic Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders who is currently said to be trailing closely behind the front-runner Hillary Clinton (The Huffington Post) and the Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump who is known to be the unexpected wild card of the Presidential candidates. Both Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders have similar interest in their various policies but they approach each topic with a different stance. Out of their respected parties, both of these gentlemen stand out with their views on Equality and Healthcare. Although they both cover these sections in their policies, the way the two of them have decided to go about changing America is completely different. On the one hand, Bernie Sanders fights for the rights of women of every color and affordable HealthCare. Donald Trump has made it clear where he stands in relation to his views on Equality for women and the LGBTQI community. He’s against gay marriage and has been quoted numerous times for speaking badly about the women he’s come into contact with—his most well-known exploit is the vulgar statement he made about Rosie O’Donnell. Donald Trump also stands
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.
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?
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
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.
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.

Every four to eight years Americans go through the long presidential elections process. With every presidential election comes new stories, secrets, and learning more about presidential candidates personal live than most Americans want to know. Jennifer Wiener wrote an article in the New York times called, ‘The Love Story Primary,’ saying that America’s should know everything about candidates’ personal lives. Candidates have made their personal lives America’s business. The politicians have used their spouses and children, incorporated them as part of the story they sell to American’s by putting them in their ads and brought them on debate stages. But Americans do not need to learn everything about presidential candidates and their personal lives.
What are Donald Trump’s political views and his stances? What are Hillary Clinton’s political views and her stances? This year’s election has quite a bit of downs, correction a lot! Several people are struggling on which presidential candidate to choose, to the point that some just want to continue to keep Obama in office. Donald Trump’s vision is to “make America great again.” While Hillary Clinton’s vision is sort of the same, she just wants to make everything a lot more fair for everyone and she does not have the catchy phrase. This essay will contain information on the following topics: Tax plans, Immigration, and Healthcare. Which
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;
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.
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
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;
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
