The Debate Over The Presidential Election

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.

In the wake of the death of Antonin Scalia, the Supreme Court Justice , Republican candidates had a debate and met in South Carolina for the 9th GOP debate.This debate mainly discussed what each candidate would do if they were to become president. During these debates, the candidates are given a chance to deliver their messages , and to help voters determine which candidate will be best as president. In the republican debate, each candidate was asked a question which they was expected to answer but somehow didn't appear to do so. While watching, I came to conclusion that some of the arguments were successful and others unsuccessful. In the first section of the debate when candidates Ben Carson, Donald

How do you think the presidential election is going this year? Many people seem to think that this presidential election is a heated and controversial debate between the Republican and Democratic Party. Some seem to think that as a nation we have never had such contention in an election and that we will never be able to recover from such damage that this election will cause. But history tends to repeat itself in our nation; for example, some of our past elections have caused fear in citizens’ eyes just like this election has done. An example of this is, the presidential election of 1800 between Thomas Jefferson and James Adams, this election caused great worry during that time period. Another election that worried our country deeply was the presidential election of 1860 between Abraham Lincoln and John Breckinridge this election caused our great nation to be divided. Another similarity that both these presidential elections have had, is that at the end of each election the American people have put their political views aside, and united

The presidential election in the year 2000 was full of controversy. The election was incredibly close. There were accusations of “hanging chads”, faulty voting equipment and an election that was too close to call. Normally in an election when it appears as though one person is clearly in the lead the tradition is that the person who is losing “concedes” the election. This is an important part of the election process in the United States. In the election of 2000 the vote was so incredibly close that he retracted his concession. This threw the whole system into chaos.

The presidential election of 2000 rose great suspicion due to its call for a ballot re-count in the state of Florida. The legitimacy of this election is considerably debatable in terms who truly won between Republican George W. Bush, and Democrat Al Gore. This correlates to the fact that 175,000 of Al Gore’s votes were deemed as “uncounted” raising suspicion among the Democratic party. Coincidentally, citizens of Palm Beach Florida became outraged as they became suspicious that their votes were counted incorrectly. As many of these citizens claimed they had voted for Gore, the ballots show they voted for Republican, Pat Buchanan. Due to this, a re-count of all ballots took place, thus leading to nationwide confusion as to who truly won.

What topics are labeled important enough to be talked about during presidential debates? Topics such as terrorism and national security; the economy; jobs and employment; and the Affordable Care Act and Healthcare all managed to be the center of attention during all debates. What topics were almost entirely ignored? Topics such as gun policy; social issues like LGBT rights and abortion; and the environment and climate change were put to the side to instead talk about Hillary Clinton’s email scandal or the sexual assault charges brought up against Donald Trump. While terrorism and national security; the economy; jobs and employment; and the Affordable Care Act and Healthcare are all very important topics, but one topic that was ignored and should have been at the forefront of the debate was climate change.

The United States’ presidential election this year is nothing but a massive conflict between both the presidential nominees, and actual violent confrontations amongst the voters. There will be ramifications for many years to come regardless of who wins, and the world is paying attention. Both the presidential nominees are morally reprehensible people who are reviled greatly by significant portions of the U.S. population, yet they somehow managed to make it through the primaries to become our nominees. For those that care about decency, it is hard to imagine voting for either one, and I actually find myself longing for Ron Paul to throw his hat back into the ring. How did this come to pass, and how does it reflect upon us as a people?

This year’s election has reached new extremes that were never predicted to come about. We have two candidates that are both unfit to run America based on past occurrences and current ordeals. Along with this, there is bound to be arising conflict, yet who knew it would become as horrible as it is?

The 2016 presidential race has become a bloody fight with the Donald being crowned king of the Republicans will the civil war of the left continuous to see who will be crowned king. We have the establishment of both parties being challenged by outsiders, and we also have the rise of blue collar voter turnout in the primaries. This election has turned the country against each other it is biting and gnawing at the seams of our political system. As the race to the White House gets further and further along, more and more people rattle their swords at others who don’t have the same beliefs as they do. Just think, this is only the beginning. We still have the Democrats trying to figure out who will be their

While Americans argue over immigration, which will be a major topic of debate during the upcoming 2016 Presidential Election, a widening number of Americans are quietly emigrating to other countries. A recent online poll conducted by TrasferWise, a peer-to-peer funds transfer service headquartered in the United Kingdom, shows that 35 percent of Americans are considering leaving the country, in the meantime, a record number has already left.

In the upcoming presidential debate our two main candidates fight for a spot to be president, but in order to take down the opponent it is necessary to find and reveal any contributions that could ruin the race for one candidate. This was what the political ad called “Trustworthy” by AmericaRisingPAC is trying to convey. This ad focuses on every major lie or contradiction that Hillary Clinton has mentioned or done throughout the course of her campaign. Trustworthy’s main point is to prove to their audience that Hillary is not trustworthy, and because of that her popularity in the election is dropping. Though the ad seem somewhat dramatic and bias, it does have very solid evidence take can really appeal to the emotions and sense of judgement. Every piece used is either a quote from Hillary Clinton herself, or a new clip of the current state that the world is in. AmericaRisingPAC uses her own words against her in a form that makes you doubt her credibility. Even the structure of the ad is done in a way that supports the message and the evidence at the same time. This ad makes sure that you are able to follow the point, every time they use more evidence it is first introduced and then deleted metaphorically like her personal emails. Credible quotes, contradicting news evidence, and compelling layout all work together to provide the basis for the anti-Hillary ad ‘Trustworthy’. This leaves little room for the public to label the political ad as

For this project, I centralized my theme around Presidential Election. Presidential Election is an indirect election in which citizen of the United States cast ballots for a set of members. In other words, citizen vote for their desired candidates. This idea is a great way to help spread equality among other U.S citizen and give other political leaders a chance to lead the country. Presidential election is truly a great example of a Democratic way of governing. This allows the citizen to vote for a specific candidates that they strongly support or a candidate that strongly support them. For example, a candidate that supports a specific ethnic, gender or race tends to have more supporters from the specific race or gender. Each candidates have

Wherever your political allegiance may lie, you cannot possibly doubt that this has been a very turbulent election season. The two leading candidates -- Donald Trump (R) and Hillary Clinton (D) -- have risen to the top, defying all expectations along the way. Trump managed to surpass 16 rival Republicans despite (or even because of) no real political experience and countless offensive remarks. Clinton, meanwhile, has inched out past Trump despite numerous scandals and suspicious connections. Yet even with these obstacles overcame, they remain two of the most reviled candidates in U.S. history, even amongst their own parties. Many voters have been demoralized by this outcome, but rest assured, there is always a third option. That option comes in the form of

In summary, politics in the 21st Century is about the benefits that the party receives rather than what is good for the people. Party politics has caused a decline in maintenance in the South, exponential growth of the national debt, and the US to transform into a police state. Thankfully, citizens are able to choose between an explicitly white supremacist billionaire and a criminal bought by Wall Street. Whatever the people chooses, the 2016 election will be a historical moment in US history; either we have Conservative Republican that owns casinos, has married three times, and views sexual harassment in jobs as non-problematic issue, or we have a profiteering woman Democrat that illegally emails confidential information, serves big businesses,

Unless you have been living under a rock for the past two years, the United States of America has an election coming up on the eighth of November. This campaign has gotten ugly. There has been fighting, rioting, accusations of improper conduct, and a whole heap of other things between the two political parties. Some people would argue that our country is divided more now than ever in history. On the Democratic side, you have Senator Hillary Clinton. She has the motivation of becoming America’s first female president. Over on the Republican side, you have Donald Trump, a billionaire, real-estate mogul, businessman. These two candidates have two very different backgrounds. Hillary Clinton has been in the political arena since 1976. She was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2001 and was appointed as the U.S. Secretary of State in 2009. Donald Trump, on the other hand, has never held any kind of political office. He got into real-estate in 1971 and has since then made the Trump name synonymous with real-estate development. With their backgrounds being as different as they are, their personalities are just as different.
