One of the Most Important Presidential Elections in U.S. history

This election has definitely been one of the wackiest ever, with so many crazy outcomes, and of course Trump. People laughed at Trump when he announced that he was running for president in 2016, but all of a sudden he wins a primary, and then another, another, and another, etc. Then people realized the threat that he was, but it was too late, because he basically already got the nomination. Then their's Hillary who was the early favorite to win the nomination and president at that, she did receive a scare from Bernie however. Bernie Sanders who started off with a handful of supports, Bernie grew, and grew even winning primaries. But Bernie was no match for the Clinton machine, still we do have to tip our hat for the run he gave it. Now who will America choose? A (considered by many) fugitive, or (also considered by many) a racist. A billionaire business mogul with no political background, or a former first lady with a political background. Knowing that Donald Trump likes to speak his mind, it will be interesting to see how he debates with Hillary who is known for bringing up the gender card. I personally do not see a clear victor at this point, I believe that this election will be very close. But I do have to pick a winner since I believe in making a design and living with it. I choose...Donald Trump.

So Long Bernie

Hillary Clinton has received the amount of delegates needed to clinch the 2016 Democratic Presidential Nominee, defeating Bernie Sanders. Now Bernie says that he will still continue to fight this, claiming this isn't what the people want. Even though Hillary Clinton received over 3,000,000 more popular votes than Bernie did, so Bernie is proving again that he is just a stubborn old man. But Bernie does need to seriously leave the race and live his life will all his newfound wealth. You literally have 0% chance of winning, the only people who support you are middle class white teenagers who don't understand how the economy works. All they see is Free College, Free Healthcare, and TAXING THE RICH TO HELP THE POOR. But other than that nobody really supports you, nobody wouldn't know who you are if you didn't have such a big influence over the internet. And yes I am very happy that the Bern train has finally crashed and bERNed, it's gonna be a great day browsing the internet without seeing one VOTE FOR BERNIE sign. And america once again says no to socialism, which is rightfully so since Bernie's principals go against what makes America, America. So finally we can say goodbye to Bernie Sanders, what seemed like it was possible at one point, turned out to be a big fluke that died out in spectacular fashion.

Gary Johnson: 2016 Libertarian Presidential Nominee

Gary Johnson is someone you may have never heard of, but this no name is running for president and has a decent following considering he is a third party candidate. Gary Johnson is neither republican nor democrat, even though he considered himself to be a republican up until 2011. If your wondering what a libertarian is, it's basically someone who wants the liberal culture; Such as supporting same-sex marriage, and abortion, but they are fiscally conservative. Meaning that they support the economical values of republicans, so they want less government, lower taxes, and private healthcare. Although they deny leaning toward any of the two parties, they do tend on the majority of issues lean republican. Usually if you are a Libertarian you will run as a republican, just as many in the past have because god knows that you have no chance in the election as a third party candidate. For one you get no media coverage, especially in this election with Trump in the spotlight on every news network. But back to Gary, he is the former governor of New Mexico. He built a contracting company from the ground up, at first he was the only employee, but now it is a multimillion dollar corporation with over 1,000 employees. Now Gary is focusing on winning the presidency, even though he has absolutely no chance, Mark my words if Gary Johnson wins I will eat a sock... a pair of socks.

The Flaws with America and the Pandering of Bernie

America believe it or no isn't perfect, we have our flaws;Even though I personally believe in America the good things do out weigh the bad, because I still believe that this is the greatest country that mankind has ever witnessed. But the issue I have with our country is the priorities that our government has when it comes the issues in society. For example while we are debating about which bathroom to use, the unemployment rates for minorities in this country continues to rise. In Chicago especially, gang violence continues to Poisson this cities image. And this whole bathroom debate is a big waste of time, because no matter the decision you make people will be angry at it. You cannot pander to everyone no matter how hard you try. Take Bernie Sanders for example, he is so desperate to win the nomination that he said he will personally apologize to African-Americans for the events of slavery. I don't really know how much sadder of a human being you can get, at this point Bernie is doing what he said he would never do. Something that he believes separates him from every other politician, the fact that he won't just say and do things only for votes. But Bernie has gotten desperate and thrown that idea out the window. But back to the priorities of this country, the whole gender debate is stupid. You are born a man or a woman or you change yourself from one or the other, but then still you are a man or women. That debate needs to just stop there and we need to focus on the biggest threat the world has right now. No it's not climate change, ISIS is the biggest threat the world right now. What happens if they get their hands on nuclear weapons(maybe from North Korea), what happens if they receive stronger chemical weapons and decide to use that against civilians. What happens if these terror attacks become more evident around the world including America. This government has no real plan to combat these radical islamists, and that is the real debate that needs to be dealt with. Not which bathroom to use, or what gender you identify with, or even religious freedom. A plan needs to be establish to stop terrorist before the threat gets out of hand.

The Stubborn Bernie Sanders

Hillary Clinton needs only 100 delegates to secure the nomination, Bernie Sanders needs to basically sweep every single state until the convention to even be considered to be the nominee. At this point Hillary Clinton with Bernie's only supporters being on Reddit; But yet he stays in the race, why? Bernie has pride in himself, he is standing by what he believes in no matter his odds to win the race. This is something Ted Cruz and John Kasich didn't have, their sole reason for staying in the race as long as they did was to stop Trump. It wasn't because they stood by their beliefs, it was because they believed that Trump being the Republican nominee would poison their party. Bernie stands by his "socialist beliefs", rather than he is trying to just stop Hillary. Yes Bernie Sanders is ultimately hurting Hillary's chances with Trump by staying in the race, but he is standing for what he believes in which is something most politicians don't do in today's society often. I still believe that Bernie needs to leave the race and enjoy his life, instead of having to constantly waste time campaigning. If Bernie had a larger chance to actually win, and if the convention proved to be in his favor. Then it would be okay for Bernie to stay and continue to fight, but that not how it seems so it really is no use. Hillary needs to start an all out assault on Trump ASAP because of the new ground that Trump has gained in national polls. In one of the latest national polls it showed Trump in the lead for the first time over Hillary in this race. This may not seem like much, but it is definitely a cause for concern for Hillary, who needs to address the problem before it gets out of hand.

Is it possible for Trump to beat Hillary?

Most people believe at this point that if Hillary does indeed win the democratic nomination, she is a show in for presidency, because the american people would never vote Trump in...right? Hillary may have the backing of the current president, nearly every current politician including some republicans, and her husband was a former president. But somehow it feels as if Trump has a strong chance to actually win, even though he has some seriously radical views like deporting 11 million illegals from this country. Not that I'm saying that it's the absolute wrong thing to do, I'm just saying that its just not possible. The same with building a giant wall between the U.S. and Mexico, yeah we already have a wall that separates the two countries. But building a new bigger and actually functional wall would be very problematic for the Mexican and american people, causing mass hysteria and possibly a conflict, meaning people will die. Banning muslim immigration isn't to big of an issue people he does have a lot more followers on that issue with the whole ISIS thing going on. Plus during WW2 a ban was put on Japanese people immigrating to the United States because of the conflict between the peoples. Now Hillary is playing it safe with her views, holding strong democratic views though not as radical as Bernie. But what's stopping Hillary from winning is her past, i.e. the emails, and her husbands past affair and how she dealt with it. But she does have one big thing going for her, its the fact that she is a women, it shouldn't have anything to do with her chances but that is only the world we live in. In conclusion Donald Trump does have a chance but it's hard to bet against Hillary and the Clinton machine, we will just have to wait and see how this race pans out.

The Death of American Politics

Donald Trump is the Republican nominee for President of the United States...let that sink in. A billionaire real estate mogul has defeated 15 other politicians to win the quest for a Republican nominee. In 2012 Donald Trump was seen as a laughing stock for attempting to run for president, nobody took him seriously and kind of brushed him away. In 2015 people still laughed at him saying that such a thing is not possible, that he is not a "serious" candidate. After his first primary win people still said that his hype would die down and he would eventually just go away. But over 1,000 delegates later he is the main man on the GOP's side, if you love him or hate him you have to respect that he just won the nominee with everyone against him. Ted Cruz out of nowhere just gives up and leaves, people assumed that he would fight up until the contested convention where he could possibly have a shot. But no he just left, Kasich had to leave because he had no chance at all, he was just there for the free food. It is a sad day that my candidate just left his supporters for dead, at this point his supporters and the GOP have no choice but to rally around Trump in order to stop Hillary. At this point it's time to board the Trump train and build the wall...and get Mexico to pay for it.
