Presidential Match-Ups

Democratic politician Hillary Clinton is argueably one of the most qualified candidates running for the 2016 Presidency. She was once the First Lady of Arkansas and the United States and has political experience being former governor of New York and Secretary of State. She emphases issues like affordable college, income inequality, and workplace policy reform to demonstrate her attention to Americans' basic economic concerns, attracting US citizens to be on her side especially from the lower class. Clinton’s net worth is estimated at $31.3 million. This number comes from analyzing her 2015 U.S. Public Financial Disclosure Reports. These numbers

He has an estimated net worth of $417,515 Sanders describes himself as Socialist and progressive who admires the Nordic model of social democracy.On one of his speeches Sanders said, "I don’t believe government should take over the grocery store down the street or own the means of production, but I do believe that the middle class and the working families who produce the wealth of America deserve a decent standard of living and that their incomes should go up, not down. I do believe in private companies that thrive and invest and grow in America, companies that create jobs here, rather than companies that are shutting down in America and increasing their profits by exploiting low-wage labor …show more content…
Republican voters say that he is currently the strongest candidate. For every ten Republican, seven voters say Trump could win in November 2016 if he is nominated. Trump's net worth is the highest of of any presidential candidate. He is worth approximately 10 billion. Donald Trump has no political accomplishments; he has never been elected office or any position of significant public trust. In my opinion he is a really bad candidate, he has no experience whatsoever except in maybe business. Even that is a reach because he's been bankrupt a few times. He speaks without knowledge of his topic and tries to justify his opinions. I will vote Bernie Sanders because he is the best candidate running and the one that will benefit me the most. He advocates for free college, is pro choice, supports the BLM movement, and wants to help the environment. I'm voting Sanders because he wants to make real changes that will revolutionize the country. He is the president we

    I expect that Bernie Sanders will win. He is very intelligent and has an amazing view. I think Clinton will mostly agree with Bernie Sanders with their common views, but she is pretty corrupt. I don’t really know the other candidates who are running but they didn’t really stand out to me like Sanders did. I heard a lot of people liked him so I researched him a bit and started to like him as well.…

    For example, a free education and health care is great but how he plans to pay for it is the problem. Sanders states that as a country the rich will be taxed an enormous amount of money in taxes to fund these programs.

    Donald Trump is known to be a very well-known businessman and if he can run many businesses and a half great monetary value then why can't he run office? A person that can handle this amount of business and has the credibility of being a person that can create these type of businesses should be able to handle being president and commander-in-chief .Donald Trump is not the right person to be elected president of the United States, because he is very unpredictable and lacks political experience. Just because a person owns businesses or has a hotel that does not mean that they are able to handle the lives of millions of people in the United States. It takes more than being rich and wealthy to be the president of the United States it takes compassion and critical thinking these are two things that Donald Trump lacks.…

    These previous candidates though failed to keep the momentum that they created going. They did not harness the power of their supporters and they simply took them for granted. If Bernie Sanders can keep the support of voters, and keep gaining momentum, he definitely does have a chance to win the 2016 presidential election; however Sanders is nowhere near perfect. While his domestic platform is strong, he could definitely strengthen his international plans so that he can garner more support and increase his chances at winning the…

    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.…

    It's that annoying time of year again with commercials all over the televisions, signs and decorations all over the lawns of houses, and you can't even listen to the radio with out hearing about it, and no it's not Christmas time it's election time. With Elections comes all the fanfair about who should we actually vote into office. Even though I personally believe politics has turned into a joke if I had to vote for somebody I would vote for Bernie Sanders. I believe Bernie Sanders should be president based on his view over the issues considering minimum wage, health care for veterans, and believing all public high education should be free. Minimum wage is the lowest amount a person can be paid for while working a job, but it is no where near enough money to live off of.…

    Election years in the United States remind many citizens that they live in a country with a political system that allows them to vote for people that will represent them and their wishes up in Washington. Many of the issues that become the target of debate can stem from dissatisfaction with the current regime, issues that have yet to have been answered, as well as whatever else is a hot topic at the time. One election season might have the turbulent geopolitical issues of the Middle East be the hot topic while the next season might have the talk shift to a domestic issue like gun control. Due to the presence of only two major political parties in America, many of the issues, candidates, and positions get diluted into binary choices that in…

    Sanders wants the minimum wage in every state to be increased to $15 per hour. By saying this interesting and enticing statement he gives hope to Americans who are making less then $15 per hour. Many people do not think that there could be any harm done if billion dollar corporations have to pay their workers a fairer wage because it would alleviate them from poverty. This is what politicians such as Bernie Sanders want people to think when they hear him speak. Sanders does a very expectional job at giving speeches, but the way he gives speeches are also very dangerous.…

    Donald Trump is unfit to be President of the United States because he has no experience, he is unknowledgeable, has a disrespectful temperament, and has a scandalous history. Unlike any president The U.S has had, Trump has had no political experience whatsoever. According to a biography, Trump is a graduate of Wharton School of Finance at the University of Pennsylvania, class of 1968, with a degree in economics. Trump is inherently a business man first and foremost- not a politician. To some, this…
