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.

Many American’s were surprised with the results of the 2016 Presidential Election. With Clinton predicted to win with more than seventy percent of the votes, so many Americans were upset or troubled to wake up to Donald Trump as their new president-elect. After the results of the election, violence has broken out throughout the country, mainly targeted at minorities. With the country in an uproar, one may think, how does this sort of situation happen? One could blame the media for this lack of information or surprise outcome of the election. The media has changed this election from the way we view our candidates to who we predicted to win through social media, journalistic bias and people’s internal filter.

There is much dissention and controversy surrounding the political opponents and the upcoming presidential election that will occur in November 2016. Many candidates, both Democrat and Republican, along with their supporters, are setting precedence with their abusive and abrasive behavior. In many instances they are disrespectful, dishonest, uncooperative, and un-American in their pursuit of the highest political office in our country. The most aggressive and unprofessional candidate of all is Donald Trump. When I’m president, I’m a different person. I can do anything,” he said. “I can be the most politically correct person you’ve ever seen.” In my opinion, this man does not belong in the white house and should not become the president of anything.

At the end of 2016, the United States will be holding the primary presidential elections. There are six main democrats and fifteen main republicans who are running in the presidential election of 2016. Among the great old party¬ (GOP) presidential applicant Jeb Bush, son of former president George H. W. Bush and brother of former President George W. Bush, should not have deemed administrating for office on the note of his promises to this country. Other than his famous last name, Jeb Bush’s yearn to work on a certain scope of issues pertaining to education, instead of the just an overview of American education, can potentially give him an unfavorable position in this campaign. Alongside, other republicans doubt whether Bush is strategically capable of addressing the war in Iraq due to his shallow analysis, and vague prescriptions of maintaining his promise to end the nuclear deal made with Iran.

The results of both the 2004 and 2012 Presidential elections were the same as both incumbents were able to capitalize on the voters being comfortable with them. Additional, since both incumbents had access to national assets, four years of on the job training, and “insider information” they were able to speak in-depth on a wide range of issues both foreign and domestic. In 2004, the largest and most important issue to the nation was the war in Iraqi and in 2012 it was the nation’s economy. Given the incumbents access to firsthand information on the issues at large, they were able to weaken their opponents in the nation’s eyes by dismantling the candidate’s strategies on the issues. History has shown that nations trend to focus more on domestic

The 2012 presidential election was fundamentally different than the presidential election of 2004. In 2004, George W Bush defeated John Kerry with 62,028,719 votes, which was essentially 50.8 percent of the ballots cast. In 2004 the issue that was of most concern for Americans was terrorism. Furthermore, the attacks on September 11th 2001 served in bringing the country together to help secure the win for Bush. The polling data shows that 52 percent of the people believed that Bush would do a better job dealing with terrorism and homeland security, versus 29 percent for Kerry. Voters seemed to prefer Bush in dealing with problems in Iraq, 50 to 37 and furthermore, on moral issues, by 47 to 29. Kerry was ahead 48 to 32 on jobs and unemployment and by a fairly wide margin of 51 to 28 on health care. When comparing how people voted, Kerry had the majority of

Watching the 2016 Republican candidates battle for the presidency of the United States, one might reach the conclusion that Ronald Reagan never left the campaign trail.  In the second GOP debate alone, the “Great Communicator’s” name was brought up a total of 23 times, which even exceeds the number of times Donald Trump mentioned China.  One of the comments coming from Jeb Bush was “I’m on the Reagan side of this.”  Additionally, Senator Marco Rubio stated that “Reagan and his approach worked (CITE).”  The candidates worked hard to evoke memories of and make comparisons to the beloved former president.  The debate even took place in the Ronald Reagan Library in Simi Valley, California.  Reagan has been constantly praised by those on the

No campaign in the history of presidential runnings has ever been the same. Yes, past campaigns and presidential candidates have shown their similarities between each other, but none has had the same events occur. The major variable is time. Society has shown a history of changing ideals and appeals. Each year, slowly but surely, society’s view is shaping and shifting. The presidential candidates know this factor and have to change with society to gain their social appeal. Within this time shift, we can analyze past polls and outcomes of primaries that have shown to be somewhat misleading.

In today’s society it is noticed that in the most recent presidential elections, specifically the upcoming election in November, there are candidates that uphold little to no political experience. Some examples of candidates like this would be Donald Trump, a businessman who can carry out negotiations well regarding the economy however, his views can be seen as extremely conservative and violent towards other races and sexes, and Ben Carson, a neurosurgeon who is well educated and is able to speak clearly to the American public but is currently dropping in the polls. Also current President Barack Obama had actually began running for president after only being a new senator in Illinois for quite a short period of time, four years to be exact.

To sum up the 2016 presidential election cycle in one word: anomalous. Unconventional candidates and unprecedented campaign strategies made for one of the zaniest election years to date. And yet, this election was not free from the traditional problems regarding voter turnout, which has historically had a tremendous impact on the results of elections; whichever demographics turn out—or fail to—on that fateful Tuesday will determine the winners and the losers. Logically, then, the federal government should want to give as many people as possible the chance to get to the polls. However, this is simply not the case. The American Election day falls on a work day, unlike that of many global democratic counterparts. As such, work obligations frequently prevent a large proportion of Americans from casting their ballots, thereby potentially skewing the election results, and acting as a form of voter suppression. Making election day a holiday would prove to be entirely too costly to the economy; instead, election day should simply fall on a weekend day. This would give more Americans the opportunity to exercise their democratic rights and therefore result in a more accurate reflection of the desires of the American people.

The biggest enemy to President Trump’s administration is not the Democrats, it is the comedians that appear on late night shows. In his article, “In Trump’s America, Comedians Lead the Resistance,” Dean Obeidallah asserts that comedians are the biggest opponents to Trump's administration. While Democrats do speak against Trump’s proposals on things such as healthcare and foreign affairs, they fail to garner attention. The article gives an example of Jimmy Kimmel, a host of a late night comedy show, who gave an emotionally charged plea that healthcare should be preserved for those with a pre-existing condition. Kimmel’s son was born with congenital heart disease, however, thankfully the child underwent surgery. In his viral monologue, Kimmel
