For the Democratic Party, it is looking like Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders will make it to the presidential election, and for the Republican Party it is looking like Donald Trump or Ted Cruz might have what it takes to get that far. The country is mixed on whether or not Trump should be our next president, but we should not let this multiple time bankrupt businessman run the U.S.A. Trump is a racist man.

Choosing Trump as our president would waste the many years we have spent trying to make every race equal in worth. Trump thinks that the Mexican government is forcing Mexicans into the U.S.A. He thinks that the Mexicans who are coming to the U.S.A. are criminals and smuggling things such as drugs. If he gets elected for president, he plans to build a wall between Mexico and the U.S. to keep Mexicans away from us. My family has some friends who came from Mexico, and they are perfectly nice and respectable people. Maybe some Mexicans are smuggling drugs into the U.S.A., but we Americans may smuggle as many drugs as they do.

    I would consider the article “ Donald Trump for President” as the more effective because it uses examples to support its argument why the author is voting for Donald Trump. The author mentions that Clinton will follow the same path of president Obama, and will increase the U.S’s debt. However, Trump will bring corporations, create new jobs, and advocate for lower taxes, and will lead to the prosperity of the county. Also, this article mentions the first and second amendment that could appeal to people who have a strong believe in those amendments, as the author mentions, “ The individual right to bear arms would be a likely casualty of a Clinton presidency.” People will believe that the amendments should not be change.…

    A controversial topic is the highlight of today’s news- Donald trump’s ideas to lengthen the U.S.-Mexico border, to deport “anchor babies” to Mexico, and the fact that the U.S. wouldn’t be economically stable without these immigrants.
