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? A presidential candidate should have at least have

The presidential elections are coming up and most of the people who decided to vote are not as satisfied with their two choices. The people of the U.S. wants a leader who knows they don’t have to be perfect‚ but desires perfection as a goal‚ a leader who puts country over party no matter the consequences‚ and who is genuine in their approach to all sides in reaching solutions‚ a leader who doesn’t just follow the letter of the law or the details of rules or what someone else did‚ but rather someone

It was the year 2000 and a new President is going to be elected. The Presidential race was between G.W. Bush and Al Gore. The race was awfully close‚ but Florida was still up for grabs. Whichever candidate wins Florida‚ wins the election. But was the election genuine? I feel as though the election was unjust. Since the vote was so close‚ with Bush leading with 1784 votes‚ Gore decided to concede. Before he was able to give his speech‚ his campaign workers stopped him just in time to remind him that

The big problems of the electoral system were particularly evident in the 2000 elections: There may have been significant discrepancies between the voter decision and the electoral vote; a candidate who obtains the most vote’s nationwide‚ does not necessarily have to combine the most electors. Al Gore won in 2000‚ the absolute majority of votes‚ but received fewer votes in the Electoral College as his opponent George W. Bush.

It is election season here in America‚ and it is the big one. Normally the presidential elections are considered to be the more important elections‚ but this one is even more significant than usual. This time‚ it seems to be a case of do or die‚ in determining the survival of the United States. As I have stated elsewhere: The upcoming election is not a battle between the Democrats and the Republicans‚ nor is it a conflict between the Liberals and the Conservatives. The conflict is not even a struggle

The Election of 1996 Clinton vs. Dole In the 1996 election between Clinton and Dole‚ most of the issues at hand were social instead of economical or issues regarding foreign policy leaving a lot of room for mud slinging and taking shots at one another through campaigning and commercial advertisement. In 1994 the Republicans gained control over both houses‚ giving them great influence over legislation. House Speaker Newt Gingrich had constructed the Republicans’ “Contract with America” which was

over 50%. Although Donald Trump poses a threat‚ I believe that on November 8th‚ voters will put their trust in Hillary Clinton‚ and she will become the next President of the United States. One reason why I believe that Hillary Clinton will win the election is because Donald Trump has slowly been self destructing‚ and his ratings continue to fall. According to POLTICO.com‚ in the week of July 22nd‚ 44% of Voters were planning on voting for Trump‚ while only 43% supported Hillary. The week of October

Political Parties and Unfair Elections The Civil War and the Vietnam era of the 1960s forever changed the political party systems of our country. Those two time periods and the issues involved led to America embracing a two-party system‚ which is intact to this day. Due to the two-party system‚ it is extremely difficult for a candidate to be elected if he is not a member of either the Democratic or Republican party. This is not a situation that our founders would have encouraged‚ as they "disliked
