Hillary Clinton's Negative Campaign
Negative campaign has become one of the best strategies for politicians to get to the white house. Every election year we see the typical Democratic versus Republican candidate, attacking each other and saying embarrassing things about each other. Last year was not the exception, and a little worse than the past ones. Other than the main ones Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, we also had Berny Sanders from the Democratic party and Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio from the Republican party, who many of us thought were strong and better candidates.
An estimated of 57.9% of eligible voters, voted last year and over 90 million didn’t vote according to our canvas article. The reality is that a lot of citizens were not excited about it at all. People didn’t

A lot though she was the strongest candidate and could see victory ahead, especially because she was the one with more experience. Many women supported her because she would it be the first woman in U.S history to be president. But things were not so easy for her, she was surrounded by numerous scandals. The dead of Vince Foster in 1993, who was found dead from a single gunshot, officials labeled as a suicide. Foster had a long friendship with Bill Clinton, he worked side by side with Hillary and become deputy of the White House counsel during the Clinton administration. He left a suicide note talking negative about the Clintons and their staff. Another famous scandal was the emails that were send, something out of the protocol. One of the most notorious was the Benghazi attack on 2012, where 4 Americans died including the then ambassador Christopher Stevens.

Since the beginning of his campaign he targeted people from certain ethnicities like Muslims; who he said should be banned from entering to U.S territory, this after all the terrorist attacks. Another ethnicity was Mexicans; who were labeled as rapists and drug dealers, this comment in particularly didn’t affected me much for the fact that nether me or my entire family has ever been related to none of “his labels” but it’s not so pleasant to heard that. He attacked woman, and disable people, I’m a woman and I have a disable niece, so definitely not my favorite. The reason why many people likes him is because he has high standards and citizens believe he would do the same for this country, he promised the famous wall that many candidates promis in every election year, he is a successful business man and people believe he can help the U.S get out from debt, and supposedly because he speaks the truth. Americans wanted something different and they had and have faith on

    Through the first presidential debate, Hillary Clinton has proved that she is the best choice for President. First, she proved that she is more empathetic to the common American. She herself came from a middle-class family. During the debate, she preached about her hardworking father, who worked in drapery. Trump came from a wealthy family, so he cannot relate to average Americans as well as Clinton can. She then expressed her desire for tax cuts for the middle class, and tax increases for the rich. She also mentioned how she intends to create 10 million jobs by investing in industries such as “clean energy”. She proved that she will do her best to make everyday life better for them.

    The scandal linked her to other white house cover ups. It revived memories of her prior controversies and cover-ups such as the Watergate scandal (Bowes & Cohen, 2015). People may think that she used a private server to help her hide from the public eye. It also brought her out as someone who does not believe in her policies. It brought her out as her enemy in the sense that she criticized George W. Bush government earlier in 2007 for its secret Whitehouse email accounts. If indeed Hilary is corrupt, implementing her economic plans will be hard. This scandal led to many people believing she is corrupt, and this means many people will perceive her plan as just another political plot and hence not support her in the implementation phase (Bowes & Cohen, 2015). As seen above, she criticized a policy that she later used, it will be hard for the people of America to believe in her if she cannot believe in herself.…

    Charles Krauthammer’s article In Praise of Low Voter Turnout raises an important issue America faces as a democratic republic. The problem that is frequently addressed tends to be that voter turnout is lower than most other democratic countries; however, in respect to the working population, being over 50% nationally is not nearly as poor as it would seem.…

    Having a president with no party affiliation, would mean candidates would have a difficult time raising money for their campaigns. Money is important for elections to help influence and mobilize voters (Kernell, et al.). Campaigning for presidency is a money contest between each candidate and party. For example, the last election Trump was able to spend so much of his personal money to get what he wanted and did not have to rely as much on donors. Modern campaigns are based on technology such as television, internet, radio, and social media (Kernell, et al.). Despite its importance, technology is expensive, which means candidates need an exorbitant amount of money to have a successful presidential campaign. Although, there are regulations on funding during elections, the Supreme Court ruled that the government cannot create laws restricting how much an individual can contribute (Kernell, et al.). Candidates spend so much time and money campaigning, when they should focus on connecting with the people. During national party nominating conventions,…

    The Republican party, by turning a blinds eye and allowing Trump to spew unfettered his racist attacks on President Obama, especially regarding the nonsensical "birther" non-issue, created the environment in which Trump has unleashed his venom on the other Republican candidates and continues to rise in the polls at the expense of candidates that would be far preferable to the party to head the ticket. Serves them right; maybe there is some justice in this world.…

    Throughout American history, there has been a steady decline in voter turnout. Not only has this been "humiliating" for the United States, low voter turnout has been and always will be a threat to American Democracy. The concept of democracy is dependent on citizens actively participating in elections and voting to select representatives for public office. The government cannot be representative of the people, unless the people elect its representatives. Voter turnout is a major indicator of how citizens view their electoral system, and whether or not they believe that the system is working. There are numerous factors that impede voter turnout, including: citizens ' political attitudes, demographic factors, and the structure of the electoral system.…

    Many would venture to say it is undeniable that Presidential campaigns and elections is something that is never fun. The amount of money, time, effort, and hard work that goes into everything can make things very demanding. In addition, not knowing if you will be victorious makes things even worse. However, presidential elections can be very jaw-dropping; as is the case with our two candidates currently running against each other. Generally, I would venture to say that no one saw this coming. A presidential race between Trump, and Hilary—two individuals that don’t sit to well with the American People. Furthermore, I believe that it has gotten to a point where if Hilary wins, there will be an uproar; and if trump wins there will be an uproar.…
