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

    Some might say that Donald Trump could be a better candidate as he is very experienced in business which could be very helpful in running the economy, whereas Bernie Sanders is not. However, Donald Trump has filed for bankruptcy four times, therefore it would be risky to count on him not to damage the economy. Sanders would likely be able to avoid mistakes like this with the advice of other people such as his cabinet. Some might also argue that Ted Cruz would make a better president as some of his issues includes securing borders and changing the immigration policy. However, this would cause problems with many families as they might be separated.…

    In conclusion, I did not want any of the candidates we had for president because both were horrible, but if I had to choose I would have gone with Hillary Clinton.

In addition, I support Clinton proposals but I am still unsure of the truth or the lies that are involved in this election.…

    Trump has high expectations of our country, as we all should. Trump has a plan and is dedicated to making it come true.

    The battle between Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump has been heating up since the start. In other words, it's been leading to complications within the society of the American people. Bernie Sanders would be a better candidate because we would benefit more from him than from Trump since his proposals seem worthy enough to support the United States especially with the immigration problem. In addition, that with Sanders leading he would help out the US with it’s problems such as, immigration, foreign policy, and gun control rather than add more chaos as in Trump’s proposal. Also with his foreign policy change we could stop any other terrorist attacks rather than be feared and powerful which could lead to more terrorist assaults.…

    I would vote for Donald Trump because Trump wants to eliminate Obamacare and substitute free market solutions. Hillary wants single-payer healthcare which is wrong for many reasons. The biggest of which is that healthcare becomes a commodity and even more than in Obamacare the government controls what medical procedures are possible. Obamacare is a disaster, Trump will replace it with a free-market based system. Trump will lower taxes even on the middle class and Hillary is apparently going be raising taxes on everyone including middle class.…
