United States presidential election

2015 Joe Biden, the vice president of the United States, abdicated his right of ascension to the presidential throne, having been bequeathed this rightful place as the Democratic nominee as Obama is forced to relinquish his office as President. This action thrusts the Democratic party into a freeze in an effort to identify the most qualified prospects. While each is lifetime politicians, Bernie Sanders found favor with the younger generation, Hillary Clinton’s political foundation became the…

The Electoral College is outdated and needs to be changed. In the United States our founding fathers devised a system, like none other, to elect the president. Through an indirect vote of the people. What this means is that people don’t actual vote for the president. They vote for electors that then vote for their pledged candidate. So for example, I vote for Trump in the election. I am not actually voting for Trump directly. I am actually voting for an elector that is pledged to vote for Trump…

Michael Obama once said, “ When they go low you go high.” In this 2016 election it feels like we all are going low and just waiting to see who is going to go high and win this presidential election. This election has become weird and bizarre for the fact that candidates Hilary Clinton and Donald Trump tend to push each other buttons to confess things and call each other liars. They both have their own opinion and idea on how they will make society a better place for all of us , but both…

The usual circus that makes up the months preceding the United States Presidential Elections has seen quite the ripple: Donald J. Trump, billionaire and businessman, has announced his bid for the Oval Office in June 2015. His campaign thus far has been called many things–needed, wanted, racist, fascist, and all-around interesting–but what it cannot be called is unprecedented. Trump has taken the same path of many political fomenters before him. Donald Trump is without a doubt a demagogue; what…

the 2016 presidential election. For a term that is not in the dictionary, it is used among a variety of peoples’ daily vocabulary. Despite the widespread use, there is no one way it can be defined. The connotation has become exceedingly controversial among both republican and democratic parties. While the phrase “nasty woman” was originally distasteful, it has evolved into many different interpretations among people and has even invoked gender expectations onto women.

Her idyllic and happy childhood found her surrounded by examples of African American successfulness,…

The Cruz ad doesn’t take a shot at his Republican opponents…
