Presidential Election Quiz Analysis

One successful strategy applied in political propaganda is “plain folks”. This strategy appeals to regular citizens in different ways, whether making the politician seem down-to-earth, homely, or simply relatable. One example of this is when candidates always seem to be rolling up their sleeves, wearing jeans, drinking beer, or doing some other “ordinary” activity. This gives politicians a more approachable and empathetic vibe, and is helpful in relating voters to the candidate, hence giving them a desire to vote. Another example of this is shown in Document C, through Stevenson’s song “I Love the Guv”. The lyric “I’d rather have a man with a hole in his shoe than a hole in everything he says” is a powerful example of this type of strategy, as it is making Stevenson just seem like another normal citizen. Although this strategy is extremely effective and quite ethical, it may be, at times, less than informative.

The 1980 presidential election of the United States featured three primary candidates, Republican Ronald Reagan, Democrat Jimmy Carter and liberal Republican John Anderson. Ronald Reagan was the governor of California before he decided to run for the presidency. John Anderson was a representative in Illinois and Carter was the incumbent. The lengthy Iran hostage crisis sharpened public opinions by the beginning of the election season. In the 1970s, the United States were experiencing a straining episode of low economic growth, high price increases and interest rates and an irregular energy crisis. The sense of discomfort in both domestic and foreign affairs in the nation were heading downward, this added to the downward spiral that was already going on. Between Carter, Anderson and Reagan, the general election campaign of the 1980s seemed more concerned with shadowboxing around political issues rather than a serious discussion of the issues that concerned voters.

The electoral college has been choosing a president for the United States of America for hundred of years. The college has been put in effect in 1787 in order to balance the needs of large and small states. But this has stopped people from choosing their wanted president. The electoral vote has trumped the popular vote many times during presidential election. The electoral college is an unfair voting system which can favor mostly large states and limit the say of people in choosing their leader.

Have you ever felt like an outsider? Did you ever feel like you didn’t fit in and you weren’t accepted? Well, I don’t think it’s much of a problem for the outsiders in this upcoming presidential election. The presidential candidates, Donald J. Trump and Bernie Sanders, are known as the “outsiders” of the election but, are gaining so much support and acceptance. Sanders is a highly Liberal candidate who wishes for many free social systems for the United states while Trump is a conservative business man who wishes to “Make America Great Again” (“About Donald…”). The people that are voting for Trump are not going to back down any time soon or change their minds but, when it comes down to a general election, the majority of the United States population seems to side with Bernie Sanders.

The election of 1860 was a very important moment of the United States history. There were four candidates, Constitutional Union candidate John Bell, the Democrat Stephen A. Douglas, the Southern Democrat John C. Breckinridge, and Republican Abraham Lincoln. During this election, different views of slavery are what caused the Democrats to electorally split into North and South. This split is why the 1860 election is considered by most political observers to be the first “critical” election.This election caused sharp and enduring changes in our country’s views on slavery and politics.

Amongst all of the presidential candidates of the 2016 race, one in particular stands above the rest. Bernie Sanders, running as a democrat, holds the highest capability to better the nation amongst all other candidates.

To begin with, the candidates for the president election must first go through the requirements of the U.S constitution. For instance, the U.S constitution states, “the president must be a natural born citizen of the united states, be at least 35 years of ages, and have been a resident of the united states for 14 years” (Presidential Election). Hence, the president must go through these requirements in order to declare their intention of running for the president of the United States without being turned down. With that being said, “Candidates who receive contributions or make expenditures in excess of $5,000 must register with the Federal Election Commission” (Quick Answers). In addition, “within 15 days of reaching the threshold, the candidates

This year’s election is a tough one! thats Some people want Donald Trump because of his ideas to improve the economy. Then there are people who want Jill Stein, because of her ideas to improve the criminal justice system. And some even want Gary Johnson because of his views about drugs. Then there’s Hilary Clinton, she has great ideas that will actually make America great again!

The election year of 2016 has proven to be full of acrimony between candidates and the people in our country. While this election progresses, it is difficult to determine what my decision will be when November approaches.

The Electoral College consists of elected representatives (electors) that vote for the president and vice president of the United States. Every state has a number of presidential electors that meet in their respective state capitals in December following popular presidential election. The number of presidential electors each state gets depends on the state’s population. The number of electors is exactly the same as the total number of the state’s senators, which is based on population, plus the number of its representatives in congress (Bromwich, 2016). California has the most electoral votes (55) and nine states have the minimum of three votes (Distribution, 2016).

The presidential election of 2000 stands at best as a paradox, at worst as a scandal, of American democracy. Democrat Albert Gore won the most votes, a half million more than his Republican opponent George W. Bush, but lost the presidency in the electoral college by a count of 271-267. Even this count was suspect, dependent on the tally in Florida, where many minority voters were denied the vote, ballots were confusing, and recounts were mishandled and manipulated. The choice of their leader came not from the citizens of the nation, but from lawyers battling for five weeks. The final decision was made not by 105 million voters, but by a 5-4 majority of the unelected U.S. Supreme Court, issuing a tainted and partisan verdict.

After taking the, Political Party Quiz, I checked the results and found out I stand very far to the right on the political spectrum. This surprised me mostly because the majority of my family falls further on the left side. Researching the issues on the quiz soon after I realized that I have been exposed to many of these prior to the quiz. While on some of the issues I had a sure answer, there were quite a few that I hadn’t really ever heard of.

The election of Donald Trump changed attitudes showcased in schools across America.
