Election

My non-vote Presidential Election Being the first year that I can actually vote I was quite disappointed in the candidates that were chosen to be elected for the presidential role. During their speeches I heard many errors in the debates they were conversing about, found nothing interesting in the topics either contender chose to talk about and I slowly became impassive. I personally felt like Trump was only running for the presidential election because his dislike towards Barack Obama. Now…

Winning any election is tough. Winning an election for a second term as President of the United States is really tough. So many factors fall into why a candidate will succeed or fail come Election Day. It is easy to measure when it is all over, one-person wins the other loses. The tougher part is analyzing why one person lost and the other won. Background Then Senator Barack Obama won the 2008 United States Presidential election 66,882,230 to Senator John McCain 58,343,671 votes (CNN). Thus,…

because it’s just psychologically inconvenient for them for the simplest, and even laziest, of reasons. A 2015 Washington Post article featured a survey conducted by the US Census Bureau on the reasons why registered voters didn’t vote on election day in 2014, the election day whose voter turnout was classified in the article as, “The worst turnout since 1942” [10]. 25% of the responses in the poll could be classified as the person being unable to make it to the polling center, whether because…

The presidential election is coming up in November, many must decide, like myself, who will lead the United States of America for the next four or more years. After careful consideration, I would vote for Jeb Bush because he has had previous successful leadership experiences and has proposed effective platforms like advocating for common core in education, pro-life, and protecting the Second Amendment. Jeb Bush is different from all the other candidates because he has had previous political…

I’m normally not one to talk about politics, but, well, this wasn’t a normal election. This presidential election was the first one that I, as a 21-year-old, was able to vote in, and you bet I exercised that right. I requested my absentee ballot, filled it out and overnight-ed it to my home state Florida, hoping that it would make a difference. Come Election Day, I flipped on CNN and vehemently watched the poll statistics pour in, only to find myself utterly shocked as Trump’s votes…

Why did Donald Trump win? That is a question most people have been asking themselves since the night of the election. We all thought we knew what was to happen, Hillary Clinton was going to be the United States of America’s 45th president, as well as our first female president.That night history was destine to be made, good or bad. Though when it was announced that Mr. Trump was our President Elect, the majority of North America was devastated. People did not attend work, children stayed home…

similarities between warfare and elections. Both involved protracted struggles for power, strategizing, fundraising and research. Political campaigns in the U.S. even borrow several terms from warfare, further demonstrating their congruence. Campaigns strategize in “war rooms”, put their fundraised capital in their respective “war chests”, “mobilize” campaign members and confront their opponents in “battleground” states. The results of the 2016 U.S. presidential election were shocking to many,…

The Election of 1800 Year 1800 witnessed a historically election that was fought between Thomas Jefferson and John Adams for the President of the United States. The results of the election would act as one of the most important pages in the book of history that would shape the country’s future for generations to come. The election took a big turn when John Adams came in third, and there was a tie between the two Republican candidates, Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr. The audio of Thomas…

Presidential Elections of November 4, 1980 The presidential election of 1980 characterized a race between the following candidates: Ronald Reagan (for the Republican Party), Jimmy Carter (for the Democrat Party), and John B. Anderson (Independent), were running – at that time – for the presidency of the United States. During the period of time – and after – the president election of 1980, some democrats came to be recognized as “Reagan Democrats.” Democrats gave millions of pivotal suffrages to…

The Presidential Election In November, 2016 we the people, are to vote for a new commander and chief of the United States, to lead our country in the right direction. Many candidates, both Democrat and Republicans, along with their supporters, are setting precedence with their abusive and abrasive behavior and bad answers. I look at politics now as more of an argument about a person or vulgar language. When the 2016 election is over the next president is likely to be viewed unfavorably by…
