Who are you voting for? A presidential election is no small matter. It is the choosing of a leader, one who will be instilled with power that could improve or destroy a country. Dr. Ben Carson, a republican candidate, is respected and supported by many Americans. He became famous shortly after being the first man to successfully separate Siamese twins. Unfortunately, few people realize that if it were not for Carson’s boss, Dr. Donlin Long, he would likely never have achieved his current fame, and almost definitely would not be running for president. During the most crucial moment of the surgery, the cutting of the vein that connected the twins, Carson offered his scalpel to Long. He refused it. If the surgery was successful, Carson would be famous, if not, it could ruin the doctor’s career. Long knew the stakes, but had made up his mind earlier that it would be…
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).…
During the 2016 election, Bernie Sanders was a name that was constantly said along with his platform. His slogan “free education,” interested the hearts of millions of college students. Even though he was not elected President, many people still support and love him. They support him so much, that they believe Bernie Sanders should start his own political party.…

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,…

The campaign of freshman Senator Ted Cruz has announced that it made an impressive donations haul since he announced that he was running for president. Touting his connection to grassroots voters, the senator also downplayed the role that big money donors have played in funding his campaign. Overall, the campaign has received $14 million in three months, a sum that gives his campaign enough money to go up against fundraising juggernaut and front runner Jeb Bush.…
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…

The DREAM Act was introduced to 107th congress for the first time in 2001 where the Republican Party had control of congress. Due to the large opposition to the legislation the bill was turned down each time it was introduced. In 2007 when the Democratic Party took control over congress the bill was re-introduced to the 110th congress however; it was rejected again. In 2010 the latest version of the bill was brought up and passed in the House however; it fell five votes short in the Senate.…
The Presidency as a whole has changed in many ways throughout the course of history; specifically, in the relationship between the president and the public. The Constitution is vague when it describes communication of the president: a president must say why they veto a bill, and they must inform the public on the state of the union (Ellis 82). President George Washington had the task of establishing how the president would interact with the public. During the early days of the presidency the President communicated seldomly with the public; this is because the president was supposed to be held at a higher standard than the public, and they were supposed to communicate with Congress. Washington worked towards having the office of the president…
The Democratic Debate was really good. I honestly enjoyed watching it time just flew by. After it ended I just wanted to keep watching more. It was so refreshing hearing people talk about the real issues in this country, like the economy, healthcare, education, and corruption. Unlike the Republican Debate which mostly focused on Planned Parenthood, Donald Trump, and Iran.…
I do not specifically identify with democrat or republican. I think that both parties have some good things on their agenda and there are also things that I don’t agree with personally, that are on both the democratic and republican agenda. With that being said I would like to consider myself an Independent. I think it’s common for people of my age (19) to not fully commit to one party.…
If I were the President of the United States, the first major challenge I would address is the state of our economy. I think it is important because most of the issues our country faces stem from unemployment, bankruptcy, credit crisis and outsourcing of businesses. Our economy also affects global economy, so by fixing our economy we will not only be fixing our own but also the global economy, benefitting billions.…
Secondly, I would concentrate on the education system of the First Nations people. Equal education privileges for First Native people have been one of the biggest, most dates issues. Presently, First Nation people do have several benefits such as free undergraduate studies in Canada, etc. I still believe education is something that needs to be enhanced. As the National President of the Assembly of First Nations I would make sure there was a funding for lifetime learning of our First Nations peoples. I would make sure the languages of First Nations peoples would be recognized, and I would finally improve the issues of the regional issues. Education is a necessity in our society and I believe First Nations should have the opportunity to learn and be educated just like any…
