The “game of politics” is played by using these relationships to gain favors, votes, support, etc. According to Matthews, the people who get ahead are the ones who make and keep these important connections and relationships with other politicians and the public.

A controversial debate is roaring across the nation in Decision 2016, but it is not the politics of the candidates, it's the legitimacy of their candidacy.

The two major party candidates don’t always speak to the issues many Americans want to be addressed. Therefore, Americans must consider voting for third party candidates to ensure democracy works for everyone.

Due to the constitutional term limits imposed on the President, Obama is barred to seek re-election in 2016.
