President ial Elect ion
By Grant Nether
The race to the election this year has so far been filled with lies, questions, and a very small amount of answers.
The two main candidates Donald Trump (R) and Hillary Clinton (D) have exchanged many words about each other
whether on emails, tax returns, and more. These responses have only lead to disappointment and anger within many
voters.
This year?s polls have been very uncertain. The closest Trump and Clinton have been was July 20 and 21. They
were at a 1% difference during this period of time as stated by Projects.fivethirtyeight.com The two candidates seem
more focused about talking down about one another than pushing their own campaigns. According to
Projects.fivethirtyeight.com, Hillary Clinton, in the polls, is currently 6% above Donald Trump, which could mean her
victory in this election. That?s because of the ending of the election during November 8, 2016. Knoch Middle School,
however, seems very different, if not totally opposite, from the polls with Trump leading by 60% of the votes, other in
2nd with 29% , and Clinton with 1/10 of the votes.
The teamwork of the candidates and their running mates are very crucial to this election. Trump?s vice president
and the 50th governor of Indiana, Mike Pence, often disagree with Trump on certain subjects. For example, Donald
Trump said, ?He and I haven´ t spoken and I disagree? on Pence's speech of Syria. Hillary?s running mate Tim Kaine,
however, said he trusts Hillary. According to www.businessinsider.com, Tim Kaine said, jokingly, ?Other than supervising
attorneys this will be the first time I?ve had a female boss.? The alliance between Kaine and Hillary could help in future
debates or discussions. Some large political figures such as Mitt Romney disagree with what Trump says or does. The
Atlantic states that he had said, ?My conscience won?t allow me to vote for Trump or Clinton?. That is a major problem
in Trump?s campaign because many voters listen to people such as him and other important Republicans.
Trump and Clinton have very different views on many laws put into action. One example is Obamacare. This
insurance aid has caused 9 out of 10 of U.S. citizens to have insurance said by The Washington Post That?s the highest
it?s been in years. There is a bad side. It causes insurance to be hard for many people to afford . Clinton wants to
expand Obamacare in hopes to fix it eventually. Trump, however, wants to decrease its power if not eradicate it in all
because of how corrupt he says the system is. Another issue is gun control. Trump agrees with the right to bear arms,
which is a reason the NRA (National Rifle Association) has endorsed him. He supports the 2nd amendment and wants
to keep guns with good citizens. Hillary Clinton, however, strongly supports gun control in hopes of causing less gun
violence. Their views on these subjects, and others such as these, will determine who becomes this nation?s next
president.
This election is crucial for the nation?s future. The fate of the United States is at hand, so it?s very important to
support your favored nominee in the election. So whether you want to ?Make America Great Again? or be ?Stronger
Together,? support your candidate with pride!
