The Republican Party has long relied on the support of older, white, conservatives. Regrettably, they are a shrinking portion of the voting population. The problem that they face is a shrinking voter base, mainly due to age. As their electorate shrinks, it is imperative for the party to appeal to the more liberal younger generations for support. The Republican Party needs to look forward to true reform. Above all, the party needs to abandon much of their social conservatism to appeal to millennials ' interests to stay relevant on the national political scene.
In my life I have never had any political enforcement or strict religious influence. My parents were very lenient when it came too political preaching. I was taught to be a caring and respectful individual. My political understanding and beliefs have been molded from my early political memories and socialization experiences. As a young adult I have always strived to become knowledgeable about political ideals mainly because I was never really taught to believe in something specific. I eventually was drawn towards many different social and political perspectives, which is how I came to a logical conclusion of how I view the world politically

In 2000, Ralph Nader, the green party candidate for President, was said to have handed the election to George W. Bush after he received 97,488 votes in the swing state of Florida (Baughman). Ralph Nader was accused of taking votes away from Al Gore, evidently costing him the election. Most recently, third party candidate Gary Johnson was accused of swinging the election in Hillary Clinton’s favor when he received 9% of the popular vote in the state of New Mexico.

Yes, Trump is a successful businessman, he has never been in a public office or form of government. Gary has already been in the government so he knows how to
Are you ready to feel the Johnson? I’m gonna blow a load of liberty all over you! That was the Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson’s campaign slogan. He had the greatest chance of being president, but the citizens voted on Donald Trump, which has caused a lot of commotion and riots. The main problem is that Donald Trump has tons of political capital and is using it on useless reforms, when he should be using it on reforms such as tax cuts (Robertson). The current political situation today is bad and will get worse. None of these problems would have occurred if Gary Johnson had won the election.

It is a good day to be an American. It is now official; we now know the two candidates running for President of the United States on the upcoming elections. Representing the Republican Party is Donald Trump and for the Democratic Party is Hillary Clinton. We are going into this presidential election with the uncertainty of not knowing if we have selected the most capable candidates to lead this country. On one side, we have Donald Trump, a person that has no political experience and calls it like it is. He lacks the people skills and often makes impulsive decisions. On the other, we have Hillary Clinton, former First Lady with a dark cloud surrounding her based on the outcome in Benghazi. Which of the two can lead this country and make it better? Only us, the American people, have that saying and I hope we all choose wisely.
America is vastly known as a country boundlessly pursuing equality in all facets of life. In this seemingly endless quest for equal opportunity, there has been one lurking negation; our election system. The addition to equal representation in public funding and on the ballot will create variability and allow Americans to entrust their vote in a political format that more closely aligns with democratic philosophy. Therefore, a shift away from a bipartisan, a two party, dominated election system would not only be a healthy change for American electoral satisfaction, but for the future of third party politics. Unfortunately affluence and inherent wealth have played a large role in this divide between a true democratic election and our present biased, broken, and benyne system.
In the movie “The Candidate” I thought that the film was very interesting to me, being a person that has never been interested in politics. I found it interesting even though I am not for sure if this is the way that campaigns are run now. I thought it was nice to see how some candidates may be chosen, especially in this film because he was not expected to win the election. He was not even interested in politics although his father was once governor. The film showed how the campaign was ran and managed by his advisors. Although not expected to win the election, he somehow
