    I believe Hilary Clinton won the final presidential debate. Clinton’s performance was more persuasive than Trump’s because she spoke with sophistication and intelligences. This country can go in two directions. The first way is up, with Clintons ideas and views I believe our country can become great and everything from trade to economy can thrive. The second way is down, with Trumps and his ideas to build a wall to keep immigrants out and his lack of commence sense and human decency.…

    Leading America: Trump vs. Sanders Two years ago the mainstream media introduced the world to a billionaire businessman, and a career politician, with vastly different leadership styles that both declared to run for America’s top role as the next U.S. President. Though these men had somewhat different campaign messages and different ideas of how they would carry them out, both had novelty approaches that had never been seen before in U.S. Politics. President, Donald Trump, and the U.S. Senator of Vermont, Bernie Sanders, both had fiery messages that spoke on the insecurities of the American people and where the future of this nation is heading in extremely different ways (Keith, 2016). With that said, I will attempt to compare and contrast…

In both debates all candidates showed they had a variety of words to say about taxes and the economy, this also steamed up some questions without truthful answers. In the 2008 debate, Obama reaction to handling taxes is similar to Clintons point of view.…
