Elections

I completely agree with everything you said, I feel everything that you do. Presidential election is all about the big promises and the bigger the better. Promises from the Presidential candidates are like bribes to pull us in, the bigger and shinier the promises are the more of us get pulled in. The sad part is neither Trump or Hillary has pulled me in, when those two talk all I hear now is blah blah blah. I don’t believe a word either one of those two says. I am a little afraid of what’s going to become of our beloved country, when either one of those two take over, we can only hope for the best. I do love what your said “if candidates weren’t allowed to give false promises how even more boring would politics be?”. You just made me laugh…

Both state primaries and caucuses are a means of choosing their presidential nominees, however the process of selection varies from state to…

This Wednesday, the New York Times published a story about a presidential nominee, Mr. Jeffrey Gerrish.

The article then goes on to discuss the Presidential Advisory Commission on…

Candidates are always running elections cautiously and seeking public approval in order for election or re-election in…

“National politics and elections are dominated by emotions, by lack of self-confidence, by fear of the other, by insecurity, by infection of the body politic by the virus of victimhood.” Every 4 years the nation decides on the Presidency whom represents our country for 1 term. Normally if there is a change in whom controls the congress and the presidency is directly in association to the previous 4 years. The impact that elections have on the US is huge. After the past election, some of the…
