With the presidential election right around the corner politics has never been more important than they are right now. To pick between two nominees who both have flaws is very difficult, especially when you are a first time voter. I have to take into consideration the lies from one candidate and the derogatory comments made from the other. My family will try to sell the candidate they support to me, thinking it will guide me in the right direction, but only I can have a say when it comes to casting my ballot. It was important for me to pay attention to each debate so I could understand each candidate’s platform on major issues. For example, immigration was a major issue that was discussed that stood out to me. Hilary Clinton and Donald Trump
