Selecting The Best President

Improved Essays
Selecting a President is very difficult to do, since people need to understand both views and proposals of what the candidates want to do if they become President of the United States. The Presidential election is the best opportunity to apply our critical thinking skills because with the Presidential debates we can find statistics, assumptions, and interpretations. The two candidates for the presidency of the United States for this year are Donald Trump which is running for the Republican party and Hillary Clinton for the Democrat party. If I have to choose who would be a best President for 2016 of the United States between Trump and Clinton, I would vote for Hillary Clinton for many reasons. However, I believe this year the candidates are a little contradictory since they both have more cons than pros. Hillary Clinton would be a better President, because she is more specific and booked in her ideas than Trump. Donald Trump is more like a celebrity who likes to be involve in the …show more content…
Another fact that makes Hillary a best candidate than Trump is the tax statements, since Trump do not want to show his taxes which is very weird because this action demonstrate that he has something to hind behind his taxes. If someone who has a high income do not want to show his/her taxes, then he/she has been doing something wrong or has something in his/her taxes that do not seem right. If a candidate wants to be a president, I believe they should be honest and have no secrets according to government issues; they should be transparent. In conclusion, I think the Hillary Clinton would be a better President based on my critical thinking skills. She has better statistics than Trump, I assume she can do a better job being the next President of the United States based on my interpretations of how is each of the two

    Currently there is a strong debate over who will be the next president of the united states, the final two candidates are Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. Both would make terrible presidents in their own way in my opinion. But the question is who would make the better president if it came down to it. Some would argue that Hillary would be the better choice, However Trump would make a better president simply because he’s a businessman, He wants to change things, and last but not least trump can’t be bought Trump is a businessman so he can help lower America 's debt and increase job growth. There are many things that I don’t agree with him about, but out of the two candidates he would be the better choice simply because he knows what would work and not work.…

    Rough Draft- Super-PACs: How the Riches’ Votes Matter More than Everyone Else’s America prides itself in having equality of opinion, however some opinions are valued more than others. This irony is due to the presence of super-PACs in recent American elections. These super-PACs are organizations that allow the wealthy to have a louder voice over the many by flooding the airwaves with propaganda and by donating to politicians to buy favors from them. The presence of Super-PACs in the 2016 elections have resulted in candidates ignoring their constituents and increasing partisanship due to money from super-PACs that go to negative advertising and persuading politicians to favor those who donate to their campaign rather than their constituents. The…

    For example, if the democrats were to gain the majority in the house or senate, I would find it hard to imagine that someone with the rhetoric of Donald Trump would attempt to be bipartisan. Meaning the legislation would be killed in whichever house the Democrats have majority in. The best way to make America great again is not to build a wall on the southern border, but to elect a president that will reach across the isle and get things accomplished in…

    The first factor that a presidential candidate is looking for in a vice president is someone who is “politically and personally compatible with themselves” (Polsby, 2016). This factor is important because a presidential nominee cannot have a vice president who doesn’t agree with them. They cannot be talking bad about the candidate without hurting them in the polls. If the vice president nominee is similar to the presidential nominee, things will run more smoothly. The second factor looked for in a vice president is one “who promises to inspire respect and enthusiasm among the electorates” (Polsby, 2016).…

    He instead tried to work out the problem we all have tried to solve in our minds. What makes a great president? This I believe was designed for us to take it a step further and to ask ourselves ‘Who of the four presidential candidates has the characteristics of a great president?’ I think this was an important topic because it causes us to think about specific characteristics instead of just the party system. It is quite easy to say Trump is the best candidate because he is Republican and that Clinton is the worst because she is a Democrat and vice versa, but I still people struggling to find specific attributes that they think would merit the presidency over another candidate. I was previously unaware of these specific attributes that make a good president.…

They both have their own opinion and idea on how they will make society a better place for all of us , but both individuals have their own ways on making changes. In reality who is telling the truth? Which candidate will actually keep their word and make America great?…
