chose the Democratic National Committee, or DNC, as the political party organization that I want to study. I selected the Democratic National Committee because it sets the core values of the Democratic Party and Democrats in the United States. Political parties, such as the Democratic Party, are a vital way of representing concerns of the public as well as an outlet for voters to express their values and competencies (Stonecash, p. 83 & 84). Therefore, the Democratic National Committee is responsible
members of the Democratic National Committee. As of November 8th, 2016, Donald Trump is the 45th president elect of the United States. As much as this is a defeat, or victory for a numerous amount of citizens across America ,that is not exactly what this is about. I’m here to say shame on you. If it wasn’t already apparent, your chosen establishment candidate, Hillary Clinton was one painted in scandal, dishonesty, secrecy, and unpopularity. I can’t imagine why you, the democratic establishment
In Candide, Voltaire satirizes many forces within society that he believes are unjust. Unfortunately, many of the forces still exist today. In my opinion, the force that has caused the most pain and suffering in Candide as well as in society today is corruption. Webster defines corruption as “dishonest or illegal behavior, especially by powerful people.” Typically the intention of corruption is some kind of personal gain. In Candide as well as today’s world, people use their power and influence over
One can say that being successful is based on your actions and how you prepare for the future. In “Outliers: The Story of Success”, written by Malcom Gladwell, he stated that many factors come into play regarding the success of an individual. In regards to Mike Honda, He was a congressman from, California and spent his early years in a Japanese internment camp. Whether if the person was talented or not, Gladwell made intelligent observations when thinking about successfulness. I completely agree
The top three American Political Parties; the Democratic National Committee, The Grand Old Party or Republican Party, and the Libertarian Party, each have websites that promote their party to Americans. Each of these websites provide information about the party, and give options for involvement. These websites vary in design, content, and organization. Each website contributes to American politics by providing each party’s supporters with information on the party, providing polls and surveys, and
Influence of Money on Electoral Process and Congress Monetary value has had significant influence in determining the outcome of elections. The input and strategies put forward by different forces determine the organizational scheme and the ability to grab most of the seats. Although money has been linked to corrupt deals in many countries, with leaders amassing power through corrupt and underhand methods, especially in Africa, this is not the case of the same monetary influence witnessed in America
March 1, 2016, only three of the republican candidates have a fighting chance of winning the party nominee, Trump, Cruz, and Rubio. In order to win the Republican nominee, the candidate must win 1237 of the 2472 delegates of the Republican National Committee by July 18th. Forty-six percent of the delegates are unpledged, meaning that they are a member of the party and are free to vote for any candidate of their liking, they are sometimes called super delegates. The other fifty-three percent of
In this paper I will discuss my point of view on who will win the Senate, and House races. In general, we have two candidates running for Virginia Senate, Mark Warner and Ed Gillespie. The house of representatives, on the other hand, has eleven Virginia seats. So far, Mark Warner is on the lead with an average of 48.5 votes, while Ed Gillespie is catching up with an average of 38.8 votes. Being a great supporter of democrats, I believe that Mark Warner should win. His goals, such as “Lowering interest
The Democratic party has become an unmitigated disaster, thanks the Third Way corporatist strategy implemented by president Obama and the Clintons. Under the leadership president Obama and former DNC chair debbie Wasserman Schultz the party has lost over 900 state Legislature seats, 69 house Seats, 13 Senate seats, and 12 governorships. The number of seats lost are unacceptable, despite the clear disaster many Democrats claim the Party is fine. The more intelligent establishment Democrats appear
Republicanism: Who and Why “Republicans are for both the man and the dollar, but in case of conflict the man before the dollar.” This quote, by Abraham Lincoln describes some of the core principles behind Republicanism. Those core ideas are to help United State’s citizens first and the economy seconds. Republicanism is a belief that the United States should take a more conservative approach in its economic and social policies, and people believe in it because they think that a hands off government
