Being addressed for over the last decade, many Democrats believe there is no media bias, yet Republicans do believe of a media bias. Yes, media bias is prevalent and a problem. Media outlets hold a bias for the democratic party, why else would democrats not believe in a bias? The media uses their powers to influence the elections with a democratic controlled media, a conservative belief of bias and little objectivity. Our country is provided with false information and bias in the news.…

Donald J Trump is the 45th president-elect of the United States of America. However, of the 231 million people eligible to vote in the United States, only 48.1% of Americans are are pleased with this outcome.

In Wayne Steger’s book, A Citizen’s Guide to Presidential Nominations: The Competition for Leadership, he identifies the important factors of the presidential nomination process, which can then be used to understand the 2016 cycle. His argument states that the crucial period of a campaign is during the invisible primary, which is the year or so preceding the delegate selection process. If party stakeholders are cohesive, (as in the Democratic Party,) the race will be predictable; if they are not…

The Ideological Battle The United States political system has traditionally been a two-party system. The political party I most closely associate with is the Republican Party. I came to this conclusion following research of the Democratic and Republican stances on several issues. This revealed that the two parties polarize on the issues with certain ideologies being missed among party members. The research was conducted through internet searches, and cross comparing the sites to each other to…

The strength of the Democratic Party is in its diverse and inclusive base. That’s why it’s often referred to as the “Big Tent Party.” Unfortunately, that is also its ‘Achilles hills’ when it comes to getting a general consensus on issues and nothing more has demonstrated this phenomenon than the current presidential race involving former Secretary Hilary Rodham Clinton.

First Presidential Debate After watching the first of three presidential debates, I felt that, despite the unconventional campaigns of 2016, the debate proved informative and revealing of both candidates. Moderated by NBC News anchor Lester Holt, the debate took place at Hofstra University, Hempstead, NY between candidates Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. The primary topics of the debate were released one week before the debate (“CPD”). While the questions were not released prior to the debate,…
