The Presidential Race So Far

During this campaign, we the American people, have seen many candidates abuse their power already. Some candidates have made unpresidential level remarks, demonstrated abusive and abrasive behavior, given inaccurate information, and executed substandard coverups.
“I will build a great wall – and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me – and I’ll build them very inexpensively. I will build a great, great wall on our southern border, and I will

Of course, a Trump administration­in­waiting presumably would be assembled soon after he won the nomination, but it would be impromptu. It would be a government of strangers because Trump has no deep relationships outside of his bubble of New York financiers and Hollywood celebrities. He constantly talks about assembling the brightest minds, but he doesn’t really know many of the people whose heads they occupy. A Trump candidacy is likely to have negative down­ballot effects, costing Republicans seats, if not majorities. If he were to win, President Trump would be working with a smaller, demoralized, and resentful congressional GOP. To some

Americans, this is what politics is, really just business, a purely transactional way of life full of fluid relationships between autonomous individuals all out to make a few bucks.
We the American people have seen the presidential candidates engage in very unconditional and appalling behavior; which has caused an uproar among the American people as well as some elected officials. These antics has caused the American people to rally positively and negatively to see which candidate can “Make America Great

    This year's presidential election was quite the soap opera. From Hillary Clinton's past predicaments to Donald Trump's prejudice remarks. Its no wonder the poll numbers were so low. I consider that in order to obtain a large percent of the Latino vote, both parties need to treat Latino's as humans and not diminish them. The Latino vote is very important, considering that Latino's make up a great portion of our countries population.…

    Walls are meant to divide, protect, and encloses areas, they are thought to be security in homes and buildings, they were not meant to be used as barriers between friendly countries that can offer things we cannot have in hand without their help and support. However, President Trump sees our neighbors as threats, he wants to divide North America with this so-called “shield”. Does Trump not understand that walls can be broken, or climbed over, or that immigrants can simply go around the wall or dig under it? In my opinion, the wall that President Donald Trump wants to build is a waste of time, currency, and resources. If you think about it, the wall is 2,000 miles long, which will take an extraneous amount of time to build, nevertheless, with…

    Donald Trump was an unexpected runner for this year’s presidential election. At first, many people thought his running for the presidency was a joke. Unfortunately, as time went on, what many thought to be a joke suddenly became more serious as more and more people began to show him support and he shows no sign of dropping out anytime soon. Which is unfortunate since much of what he says is far from being presidential, let alone professional. From what I’ve seen of his speeches and debates, he often makes terrible statements about other candidates as well as other groups of people, building off of peoples hate to rally more support.…

    After the presidential election, Donald Trump was elected president. Riots broke out, feminists cried, and some people moved to Canada. Honestly trump isn't that bad, he can't start a war in the next 4 years (hopefully), every law and bill he can make has to go through the supreme court, and he cannot change the amendments. So he doesn't really have that much power. So my three issues for trump are wars, taxes, and the wall.…

    The immigration policy of your candidate Donald Trump is rooted in the idea that illegal immigrants are people who are taking our jobs, committing crimes, and bringing in illegal contraband, like drugs. He calls for the complete ejection of all illegals in our country, and the creation of “an impenetrable physical wall on the southern border”. Trump plans to force Mexico to pay for a wall that will return the illegal immigrants that Trump doesn't want. If Trump doesn't want them, why would Mexico? Trying to get someone who doesn't benefit from the creation of the wall to pay for the wall is nearly impossible, and if it does, what benefits will America have to give Mexico for the wall?…
