Presidential election

electoral votes are already set in stone, that is not always true. In fact, there are various factors that contribute to the overall outcome of both the nomination of a candidate, and subsequently, the presidential election.

I completely agree with everything you said, I feel everything that you do. Presidential election is all about the big promises and the bigger the better. Promises from the Presidential candidates are like bribes to pull us in, the bigger and shinier the promises are the more of us get pulled in. The sad part is neither Trump or Hillary has pulled me in, when those two talk all I hear now is blah blah blah. I don’t believe a word either one of those two says. I am a little afraid of what’s…

Clinton got about forty-seven million votes and Dole got about thirty-nine million votes. I think that it is great that lots of people…

whether it is Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. Social media is used to get through to so many people in an immediate approach.

My position on this issue is the opposite, politicians doesn’t always have to be truthful. As a matter of fact, politicians lie because the people doesn’t want to hear the truth. If two candidates running against each other, the one who tells the public what they want to hear instead of the truth will win the election. The one who tells the truth will loses out. An example could be the 1988 presidential election. You might recall the famous lie, "Reeeaaad myyy llliiipsss, nnoooo neeewww…
