the United States that are major events. Football is known as America’s sport and not only does it bring a crowd it also brings money as well with the biggest event called the Super Bowl. Another major event in the United States is the presidential election. Both of these events are totally unpredictable. America would not be the same without these two major events, because they not only bring in millions of fans but they also can be used to feed information to the public. These two events…
The run for the presidency in 2000 was an event that any American watching will never forget. This historic election made Americans question the legitimacy of our election process and whether the president-elect was the actual winner. The 2000 election of vice president Al Gore vs Governor Bush was not legitimate. There were many factors that appeared after the election, that stirred up an uproar throughout the country. Networks announced that Al Gore won the popular vote with 51,009,810 votes…
The 2016 presidential election was a unique election cycle in the sense that it did not follow normal election cycle protocol, and the result was one that has rarely occurred in American history, where a candidate wins the popular vote, yet loses the Electoral College and the presidency. A small majority of Americans wanted Secretary Clinton to be President, yet Mr. Trump won the Electoral College and 2016 Presidential Election. Even though Secretary Clinton won the popular vote, she still lost…
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…
Once every four years a major event captures the attention of the United States known as the presidential election. No football game, Holiday, or any other American event gets this much attention from the United States other than the election for the second full Tuesday of November every four years; yet many people do not fully understand all the aspects of a single presidential election. So one may ask, what are PAC’s and Super PAC’s, what do they have to do with outside groups and why are they…
the recent election just ending and with so many political ads all over the place there is always the question, do the political ads help or hurt the candidate. I think it hurts them more than it helps them. I believe that the voters seeing all the negative ads gets them ticked off and vote for the person they planned to vote for already. For example, Donald Trump spent $238.9 million through mid-October, compared with $450.6 million by Clinton's. We know that Donald Trump won the election and…

Donald Trump won the 2016 election by a landslide, with 306 votes going to the republicans, and 232 votes going to the democrats(270ToWin). A big reason for this was the very different way this election year handled their campaigns. Twitter and Trump could be used synonymously with how much he’s associated himself with it. Tweet after tweet reaching out to the Americans debating on who to choose for the presidential candidate. Several Americans who voted for Trump voted for him due to his raw…
the modern position we know today. One would think that the election of such an important would be simplistic and fair; however, it is the exact opposite. In order to become President one must go through the corrupt and undemocratic electoral system. At this very moment four hundred forty-three people running for president. All from different…
The 2016 Presidential Election Campaign in the United States was notably distinct, with a woman, a democratic socialist, and a billionaire businessman making waves within their parties. With that, social media played an important role in the transmission of information and candidates’ core messages. Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump used social media to their advantage, though very differently. This essay argues that the importance of social media in order to transmit political messages is…
