This is the time of the year that all Americans anticipate. Every 4 years the election time comes around. Candidates from different parties, representing different sides come together and fight for the job as being president. Before the actual Election Day, there are multiple debates between the elected candidates, which is normally one from the Republican Party and one from the Democratic Party. These are two of the largest parties that we have in the country. Each candidate gets around two minutes to answer the question that is being presented by the hosts. For this year’s presidential debate, we have Mr. Donald J Trump representing the Republican Party and Mrs. Hillary Clinton representing the Democratic Party. Each of them participated in a series of debates. First debate was on Monday, September 26, 2016, Second was on Sunday, October 9, 2016, and third was on Wednesday, October 19, 2016. Overall from the first debate each had good points to present to the public. The second debate went quite well with the questions that were picked out and highly rated. Candidates answered the questions and presented their plan on how to improve certain areas, such as Economy, Obama care, Gun Control and abortion. The third debate was a little more organized, as each candidate prepares themselves, because this was the last debate that they will have before the Election Day. It was concerning that each candidate was not answering questions as efficiently; each did the same mistake of
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.
Since the year 2001 the United States has been under the presidency of a republican, George W. Bush. His has a position in a number of issues including abortion, immigration, the Iraqi war, health care, and social security. On the abortion issue he believes that we should ban partial-birth abortion and reduce abortions altogether and he supports adult stem-cell research but not embryonic stem cell research. He believes that the government should have a responsibility over Medicare and Medicaid. On the topic of social security he suggests that younger workers should be able to put part of their payroll taxes into personal retirement accounts. With the war in Iraq, President Bush is guided on the principle of "return on success" and we
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

American presidential election of 2016 was a few weeks ago, many are scratching their heads following the outcome result. Many, including myself are, asking the question who voted to bring Trump into office? No the better question is who did not vote to keep Trump out of the office. This must have been the same feelings and questions people had in the election of 1968 with Nixon, as the options they were left with to choose was not one of which many were enthused about. Richard Milhous Nixon born on January 9, 1913 in Yorba Linda, California. (Biography.com Editors, paragraph 2) Donald John Trump, born in June 14, 1946, in Queens, New York. Both were one of five Children of their families. (Biography.com Editors, paragraph 2). In both of their of biographies, Nixon attended Duke University and earned a degree in law but Trump attended Wharton School of Finance at the University of Pennsylvania, and graduated with a degree in economics. What lead these two in to politic and clinching the title of the presidency as “Law and Order candidates.
The political infrastructure of America has remained consistent with the ideology of a representative republic, essentially the masses choosing representatives who then decide whom they want as a leader of the fine country under the notion of said candidates ideologies, religion, and promises upon election. Every four years, America holds an election to determine the Commander in Chief, an honor of prestige and status. The duty of a President is to obey the best interests of the country, utilizing their power in order to handle the issues that plague the nation. Planetary issues such as gay marriage, immigration, and marijuana particularly, same-sex marriage, the construction of a wall near the southern border, and medical marijuana.This essay aims to display the arguments/stance that each presidential candidate has towards such issues, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, and serves as an analysis of their determined stance.
In the beginning of the debate, both Trump and Clinton had a fierce attitude. The candidates had brought up many past events. They debated against each other`s plans to create a better country. One of the main
The second presidential debate demonstrates an indecisive clash between opposite personalities; the rehearsed demeanor of Hillary Clinton juxtaposes the raw audacity of Donald Trump. Despite their dissimilar appearance, the candidates employ like strategies – they deflect accusations and criticize their adversary. Clinton suffers to succeed in this format. Neither knowledge of policy nor experience in office effectively counter accusations against personal character. This observation is nonetheless irreverent. Although Trump dominates the debate format, he alienates the electorate.
The United States presidential election of 2016 occurred on Tuesday, November 8, 2016. This was the 58th quadrennial U.S. presidential election. Voters elected a new president and vice president through the electoral college. Businessman Donald Trump and Governor Mike Pence, running on the Republican ticket, defeated the Democratic Party 's nominees former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Senator Tim Kaine. The defeat, considered improbable by most pre-election forecasts, was branded by various news organizations as an "upset" and the most "shocking" American presidential election result in history. The results of the presidential election has left many of the American people in an uproar. Many Americans are using their right to freedom of speech to voice their opinions and show their opposition. The first amendment gives people the right to freedom of speech that we all deserve, but since the election has this right been taken a bit too far with all of the violent protests, the social media uproar and the exaggerations by the media?
With the 2016 Presidential Election coming up, it would be a wise idea to start researching on the candidates. As a young adult, this will be my first time to vote. Thus, this assignment is beneficial is seeing what kind of tax policies the presidential candidates propose. There is an article written by Georgetown Public Policy Review that gives a basic oversight on the presidential candidates and their tax policy.
Yup, that’s right, only about 10% of the entire nation voted for Donald Trump OR Hilary Clinton, yet they are still the Presidential Candidates from the Republican and Democratic Parties. How? In the presidential primaries Donald Trump won the state of Alabama with roughly 43% of all the voters. However, only .3% of registered voters voted for him at all. In a state of 4.8 million, only 14000 voted. In Tennessee, Hillary won with 66% of 3.7% of the total registered. While substantially higher than Trump’s Alabama win, it is still an unacceptably low turnout for the voting of the possible President of the
This election cycle has already been hectic and irregular and we’re not even close to past the primaries. The number of debates that have been held on both sides is already staggeringly high. The GOP has already had twelve debates and the Democratic Party as already had eight. As we gradually approach the final primaries and see who will be pitted against who in the general election the Republican party, which started with a record number of candidates, is now whittled down to three and the Democrats have only had two major candidates for a couple of months now. The debates on both sides thus far have been exhilarating; Bernie and Hillary constantly attacking each other’s policies and voting records and on the GOP side of things a bevy of wild
With the American general election cycle in full swing, one of the fundamental issues in play is the role of government. What is the place of Government? What should elected officials be doing? Do they simply protect personal liberties, or do they also establish safeguards and guidelines for various economic activities? Ask any two people and you’ll likely receive two different answers, so nuanced and complex is the issue. Policy can give incentives to business to act a certain way both domestically and abroad. Tax incentives in one region may cause a corporate to relocate (this happened to one of my favorite guitar manufacturers recently, as they moved production from Canada to California!). A central bank’s tweak in monetary policy to shift the cost of lending could ultimately move interest rates for consumers looking to take out mortgages or automobile loans. As we witnessed in 2008, the housing market is of international concern and a large central bank wields enormous power. While we like to call the Western economy a “free market,” there exists a multitude of government policies that impact the freedoms and movements of the economy, for better or for worse. I will present two specific examples of government economic intervention for your consideration, one that has helps economic activity and another that hurts it.
When Hillary was talking about the possibilities of him not paying federal income taxes, he reply with “ That make me smart”. He shouldn’t have said that. He should be a good example for the citizen. He shouldn’t do anything that is against the law and doing something that is against the law will make you smart. Hilary stated that he also labeled pregnancy an inconvenience to businessmen and employers. Pregnancy is not inconvenience. It’s natural thing that happened to women and everyone should respect that. It shouldn’t be labeled as inconvenience. Overall, I think Hillary was more prepared for the debate than Trump was. He was angry at times and didn't seem to be Professional. They both are more about blaming each other than focusing on important issues but Hillery points were more clear and she seem to be a better candidate for our country. My last comment on last night debates is that they were not affected debated for president. They both focused on blaming each other more than focusing on the real issues that our country is facing now. Honestly, I don’t like either of them to be our resident but if i have to choose between them, I would Choose
The election is when the citizens elect a running candidate to be president. The president is the one who can have bills passed on the people behalf and speak for the people in America. The president is the person who the citizens vote for to lead them into economic success, new government policies and equal rights for all citizens. The election is held every four years for the presidency. A presidency term lasts four years and could be shorter if the president is impeached. Impeachment is when the president is voted out of office by the house of representatives. Furthermore, the two candidates running could not have more controversy throughout their careers and are high profile people in America. The two exasperate each other in some form, almost every time the other gives his or her comments about their opponent. They are well-known people who have ideas that could either improve or dwindle the success in America, however they both have a chance to leave their impact in American history rather it be virtuous or depraved. The two candidates are Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. Donald Trump is known for being a highly recognizable business man. His economic skills could do America well, but his inability to understand minorities and the citizens could affect his chances. Hillary Clinton is known for being the wife of former president Bill Clinton. Hillary is more compelling to minorities, the low-class citizens, and the middle-class citizens, but her lack of austerity and
