The 2016 presidential election came down to a race between democratic Hillary Clinton and republican Donald Trump. Clinton was born on October 26, 1947 in Chicago, Illinois. She served as the 67th Secretary of State. Hillary is married to the former United States President Bill Clinton and they have one daughter, Chelsea Clinton. Trump was born on June 19, 1946 in Queens, New York City. He was a businessman, owning The Trump Organization. He is currently married to Melania Trump. His…
Even though Reagan and Bush were republican presidents and Clinton was a democratic president their polies were very alike and in some cases almost identical. Clinton’s policies were really more conservative than liberal. To start off, each of these presidents were elected during times of very low voter moral. United States citizens were not excited about government in general during this time, as well as the Reagan Bush eras. It did not matter if you were democratic or republican, citizens most…
watching interviews with former governors and former presidents reminds me of how the government behaves. In analyzing them, I noticed in the interview with former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, Russian President Vladimir Putin and former US president Bin Clinton, the differences that have within style and effectiveness. Starting in this case, with the interview of former vice-presidential candidate and former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, I consider that the reporter Katie Couric from CBS, was…
operations, wherein representatives are chosen or mandates are decided. The "War Room" is an example of what happens within a political operation. The "War Room" is a documentary that evaluates the 1992 authoritative race between George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton, inspecting sentimental, subjective and noble attitudes of politics. While watching the film, I've learned there can be an advancement of a family and tight bonds being made by an organization with a consolidated goal. For example, in…
and Medicaid to support people that are in poverty, or just in need period. They feel that more of our tax dollars should be taken to fund these types of programs. In 1996 a welfare reform bill was created to assist low-income families across the country. Clinton did state that she wanted to look at this bill again, and reexamine it. There was talk about drug-testing those who receive benefits, as well as limit benefits after a certain number of children, in an attempt to prevent those with…
When Bill Clinton was voted into office, it was not under ideal terms. He had barely won, and many people were unhappy with the idea of having him as president. Therefore, it makes sense that he would want to have a speech that made him seem more desirable, stating he had a solid vision for the country, and a plan for his presidency. He uses the rhetorical devices repetition, allusion, and metaphor to help him in this endeavor. Throughout the speech, Clinton uses the word “America” a total of…
From watching the frontline documentary and reading the book, I think that interest groups have too much influence in American politics. Interest groups are seen to be everywhere in the nation and I believe that by them creating a great deal of controversy helps to create a division between the government and its people. Interest groups first objective is not political influence but simple survival, which helps to shape a group’s political activity. The issue that I see constantly arising is…
example, take Monica Lewinsky and Bill Clinton. As Clinton tried to tell Lewinsky that they could not continue their relationship beyond a professional one he got a phone call from a Florida sugar grower about the proposed sugar tax. The money from the tax was to go to Everglade’s restoration in parts that had been harmed by chemical runoff from the sugar fields. The grower wanted Clinton to veto the sugar tax and dismiss it altogether. Needless to say Clinton vetoed the bill his vice president…
She is well known as the wife of the forty-sixth president Bill Clinton. She fits some of the informal qualifications for president, but not all of them. Clinton is a very devoted Social Gospel Methodist, which means she fits the religion criteria for presidency (Grossman). She does not however meet the gender requirement. Of all forty-three presidents, there have been no females. Hillary Clinton would be serving as the first female president if elected. But, as demonstrated…
that appears to have made everyone feel either defiantly jubilant or ready to shit their pants, depending on which side of the ideological aisle they’re on. The most prominent example of this populist wave is Donald J. Trump’s upset win over Hillary Clinton in our recent presidential election, but this is not isolated to the United States. Much of Europe, parts of Asia, and South America, as well, have seen such crusades gain momentum, as people become increasingly frustrated with the perceived…
