Pros And Cons Of Election 2016
First Presidential Election Debate The First Presidential Debate for the Election 2016 was aired on Monday September 26, 2016 and was watched by millions of viewers across their TV, mobile, laptop, and tablet screens. I have never seen a presidential debate before, so I was kind of excited about it. The debate has been historical in drawing attention of the viewers " including me", and have played a significant role in pointing out the differences in philosophy of Donald Trump, the Republican nominee and Hilary Clinton, the Democratic nominee. The debate started with an introduction of both of the candidates and the moderator did a good job in providing an overview of the issues that were covered in the debate. There was exchange of salutation

    After coding all the candidates of the Republican National Debate, Governor Kasich stood out because his number of acclaims varied greatly from the number of times he attacked and defended himself during the debates. This is most likely due to the fact that his standing was last amongst all the candidates taking part in the debate. Because he held the lowest standing amongst all the candidates, many of the candidates did not bother to attack him so he did not need to defend himself as often as the others. He did not attack his opponents because his focus needed to be in bringing himself up in the ranks as opposed to just bringing the others down. According to Benoit's Functional Theory, this is because attacks can often times create an undesirable impression that the candidate is reactive rather than proactive (Glantz, 277, 2013).…

    The entire spectacle appears to be a disingenuous attempt by the media to have even legitimate grievances about the debate formats. Because these are not really debates, in the sense that they don’t allow candidates to fully articulate positions, but rather to deflect and defend themselves while attacking opponents’ positions. Reasoned arguments are nearly impossible with eleven people on a single stage, each one trying to stand out from the others. These debates are spectacles, entertainment for the masses and nothing more than excuses for partisans to do…

    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. Next, she behaved more professionally then her opponent,…

    It occurs every four years, the United States is in an election cycle. During this campaign season, however, has been unlike any election ever taken place in modern history. Beginning with a large pool of candidates, the primary elections, primarily among the Republican party took an extremely negative unexpected turn. Many voters feel that the remaining candidates for both Democratic and Republican party are very disappointing. The two parts appear to be strongly divided and in deep turmoil. Who has inspired me as a voter, and who has put up the best, and most honest fight to be in office is Bernie Sanders…

    It's no secret that the Republican party is now more well-known for their fear mongering and obstructionist tactics than legislating or having any real interest in governing. As many of you may remember, Republicans came under heavy criticism last year for trying to derail the Iran Nuclear Deal through a combination of dangerous propaganda. They attempted to poison public opinion and recklessly interfered with the negotiation process which could have had disastrous consequences. In an underhanded, some have even suggested treasonous move, 47 Republicans lead by Senator Tom Cotton and signed by GOP Presidential candidates Marco Rubio and Rand Paul had sent an open letter to Iran…

    The type of primaries that should be operating in North Carolina is an open primary not a closed primary. The reasons North Carolina should operate on an open primary is to enable voters in both parties to vote whoever they favored the most, allowing voters to vote in opposite parties, and reduces stress when going through the voting process since most of the voter ballots will include both parties’ leaders instead having leaders assigned to the voter party. On the side note, North Carolina should not have a law that requires voter I.D. since its violating and discriminate minorities to be able to exercises their right as an American Citizens. It should be easy for American voters to go to the polls and fulfill their duty as an American.…

    Pros And Cons Of Obama

    The president is more than unconstitutional, he is uncontrollable, too. President Obama is uncontrollable in his actions when illegal decisions are made more than once regarding Obamacare and when a large part of our government system is being questioned due to his disregard for the law. Obama went too far to get what he wanted. Checks and balances aren’t being taken seriously, if he can get away with it, so can everyone else. Obama unconstitutionally delayed the caps on payments without approval from Congress. He is uncontrollable and imperial because he shows with these examples that he thinks he can just go around Congress more than once regarding only one piece of legislation…

    Presidency is a strong idea in America. It elects our highest executive leader, the president. A good strong, experienced president is a viable resource. Just to be clear, a president should be experienced in someway . They should first occupied a spot in government such as a governor or senator. They will have a voice and understanding in politics, know about foreign policies and politics, and they will know their way around the government. Think about, who would want a presidential candidate without any political experience or would they? As history has shown, freshness has ruled. Even today, presidential candidate Donald Trump is winning. He has no political experience, however he has considered by New York Republicans to be governor in October 2013, but he never ran. This is the most controversial question in politics, maybe. Should amateurs be allowed in the oval office?…

    The 2016 Presidential Election is slowly approaching its end. Jokes and memes are subtly fading as November draws near and as the primaries wrap up. Seeing that they are finishing up, what are the results so far? Since the first caucus on February 1 until the last primary on June 4, votes are being sent in around the U.S. Oddly, voters aren’t voting for their favored candidates directly, but voting for the candidates’ representatives. What’s happening right now is called the primaries (and caucuses!). The purpose of primaries is to choose delegates to support a certain candidate during national conventions. Delegates basically represent a candidate’s votes at the convention. The two main types of primaries are open or closed. Open primaries…

    A partisan election is an election where candidates are listed on the ballot with the indication of their political party. This is a system where judges are selected through partisan elections are voted in the electorate, and often run as part of a political party’s candidate. Texas is one of the few states that elect judges in partisan elections. It has been suggested that perhaps this is not an appropriate way to choose judges, given the nature of their job. It may have some flaws like lack of minority representation on the bench and perception of fairness. But it has some advantages too. On my opinion, I think it is faster than the other form of election as a general voter have that candidates on the ballot from democrats, republican or independent column.…

    We have all either heard or used the idiom, two is company, three’s a crowd and this saying can very well be implied to both the two party system of America as well as the third parties in America. Known to our great nation is the two party systems, the Democratic and Republicans. This two party system came about due to a two sided constitution which consisted of an opposing or supporting group or to be clearly defined, the majority squad and minority squad. There was definitely no in between going on here, these were only two parties that one could be a part of. This two party system dominates the United States government and although there is many ways this system is beneficial for promoting public good; it has also been criticized for its disadvantages which include lack of dissenting opinions, apathy of voters due to lack of alternatives and their tendency to ignore different and radical voices. “Today many Americans take pride in their status as “independent voters”, partly because they see parties as lacking vision for the country”. “Since many Americans have become disenchanted by partisan politics, they avoid identification as a “loyal democrat” or a “staunch Republican”. “These negative attitudes towards parties are rooted in the roles that they play in American politics”(ushistory.org 2015).…
