    Fahrenheit 9/11 starts with an investigation why George W. Bush won the presidency while it was apparent that it was Gore who should have won it. Michael Moore names the following key factors of Bush’s success: first of all, the man at Fox News, who proclaimed the winner that night, was Bush's first cousin, John Ellis; secondly, Bush’s brother is the governor Florida, the decisive state in the elections; thirdly, the chairman of his campaign is also the vote-count woman.

    Congress. Although he wasn't successful in the general election he did defeat several opponents in the primary ballots. These steps and small successes showed much political potential in George W. Bush. In 1994 President Bush decided to run for another position, Governor of the state of Texas. He won the election becoming the 46th governor of Texas. The then Governor Bush was very well liked throughout the state of Texas. He gained great popularity and the state continued to grow in its prosperity. He was very strict with anti-crime and anti-drug measures. He greatly supported capital punishment. To further please the residents of Texas George W. Bush instituted a large tax-cut. To benefit the working class and get more respect from the more predominant class he instituted welfare laws that required beneficiaries to work. Realizing that the future lay within the hands of the children of the United States he passed many bills promoting larger spending for public schools. Using his leadership skills George W. Bush saw a rapid growing population of Hispanic speaking citizens. To accommodate for this change he approved many bilingual programs that won the hearts of many of the Hispanic population. In his second term as governor George W. Bush declared that he was going to be running for President of the United States. Using his popularity he campaigned in several different states against the then Vice-President Al Gore. George W. Bush narrowly won the election in 2000 even though he did not acquire the majority of the popular…

Likewise, Kerry held a lead during the election, and it seemed too difficult for Bush to win. LeBron is an accurate representation for Bush because when it seemed that he would not win, he continued to fight and ultimately proved to be the winner. Also, George Bush easily won the Republican nomination in the same way the Cavs easily won the East, while Kerry and the Warriors both had to battle to win the…

    Reagan’s biggest problem on his path to presidency was the concern about his age. His age did not stop him from running for president. He made and wrote many ads and editorials each week that aired on the television and on multiple newspapers across the United States. Through his speeches and his role in trying to reach the people he built a positive image for the growing number of public voters. Reagan blamed President Carter for the dull and sluggish economy, which was affected by high unemployment, the rising prices and the decline of standard living. A main priority in his campaign was to reach out to the voters and ask them if the present is better than it was four years ago before Jimmy Carter became president. Ronald Reagan won by a major landslide due to many independents and Democrats who joined the Republican voters in electing him the fortieth president of the United States. In Reagan is first inaugural address, he made confident and inspirational statements about his strategies and priorities for the nation. "We are a nation that has a government–not the other way around. And this makes us special among the nations of the Earth. Our government has no power…

    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.…
