As we all (should) know, the 2016 presidential election is quickly approaching, and it has been headlining the news often. To me, though, it seems as if this presidential election has been in the news since the last one ended. I don't know about you, but I've heard the name "Donald Trump" in the news a few too many times. But that's not the point of this article.
With everything that's been happening in our country lately regarding gun violence, on top of many other things, this election is obviously extremely important. It's important to pay attention to these things when forming opinions on presidential candidates. Whoever comes into presidency will have the opportunity to essentially "fix" our nation. And from my point of view, everyone inside (and probably outside) our country expects them to do so. In my opinion, that's not possible. I don't think anyone can fix this constantly deteriorating country. But we have to do something in order to help.
When scanning through our presidential candidates, none of them seem to stick out to me as someone who I could see (or want to see) running our country. In fact, they all seem like extremely horrible choices. There are various reasons why, and I made a list of reasons why through various quotes and actions the presidential candidates have said and done themselves. If you know me, you know that I'm not the most educated when it comes to politics. With that being said, if I can see that none of these candidates are good because of very surface level things and ideas, I think that demonstrates just how obviously horrible they all are.
1. Donald Trump advocates for violence.
Oh, perfect, just what I want! A president who promotes war.
2. All of the candidates talk badly about their opponents.
Oh, we also need a president who bad mouths others. I understand they're trying to prove a point, but are we in high school?
3. Donald Trump is, well, Donald Trump.
I'm really happy to know that even if our country crumbles with Donald Trump as president, at least he'll still be super rich. Also, he's extremely conceited.
3. Hillary Clinton doesn't even know what she believes.
I definitely want a president who contradicts herself, too!
4. All of the candidates have dumb campaign slogans.
The campaign slogans. Is this really necessary?
5. All of the candidates have ideas that are extremely unrealistic.
Are these ideas actually realistic and logical to people?
6. Donald Trump is Donald Trump, yet again.
Not necessarily important, but some of them obviously have terrible hair.
8. I think you get the idea.
This one speaks for itself.
If you didn't catch on, I don't really want any of these people running the country that I live in.
Unrelated topic: I hope I'm not the only person in America who realizes if we spent all the money wasted on each of these presidential campaigns on something that could actually better our nation, our country could be in a much better place right now.
