Why Is Hillary Clinton Running For President?

Because it's easier than running from law enforcement.

Why Is Hillary Clinton Running For President?
Gage Skidmore

Hillary Clinton has been in the public's eye an awful lot these past few weeks. There are feminists praising her and conservatives heckling her. Democrats are brushing off her illness and Republicans are freaking out over what would happen if a sickly president was elected. One thing I've noticed about some of Hillary's supporters is that they support her purely because she isn't Trump. Everyone needs to take a step back and look at her stances on political issues and reconsider whom their support really lies with. Can you imagine what life would be like with Hillary Clinton as our president?

Hillary will practically crush the second amendment in her fist.

Gun laws are going to become very strict. She wants to make it extremely difficult to obtain a gun. Her reasoning is that stricter gun laws will make it nearly impossible for criminals to obtain guns, but let's be honest, if a criminal wants to get a gun, they're going to get it whether or not it's legal.

Trading with China will become extremely difficult.

Hillary's goal is to increase American-made products, but I don't think people realize just how many of the things we purchase are from other countries. Get ready to see a change in companies who manufacture their products overseas like Victoria's Secret, Adidas, Bed Bath & Beyond and Walmart.

The minimum wage will be raised to $12.

With workers being paid $12 an hour, prices are going to be raised to compensate for the amount that companies are going to have to spend on employees, so basically you can get paid $7.25 an hour and get a McChicken for $1, or you can get paid $12 an hour and get a McChicken for $1.65. Now, 65 cents isn't a huge dent in my pocket, but money adds up. Can you imagine buying something more expensive with a price increase like that?

Taxes for US companies that do business with other nations will be raised.

Amazon, Google, Apple, and Coca-Cola will be taxed at higher rates. How do you think these businesses will compensate for these extra expenditures? They'll do it by raising their prices. Hillary's goal is to make it to where companies have no other choice than to do business in and produce their products in America.

The rich will be taxed at a higher rate.

Hillary wants the rich to have to pay more so that the lower class and middle class don’t. Hmm, seems a little wrong that the wealthy have to make up for the poor.

Hillary wants to make the ease of immigration easier.

She could potentially bring in thousands of refugees from the Middle East. I’m all for helping those in need, but we can’t ignore the fact that Radical Islam exists and that there isn’t a way to filter could-be-terrorists from entering our country.

She has changed her political views quite a bit since her last presidential race.

Hillary used to be against gay marriage and now she is 100% for it. It almost seems as if she's changing her political views to be what the public wants, not what she believes. Can we really trust that she will keep her word once she's in office?

Maybe you can get over the fact that Hillary Clinton is responsible for Benghazi and multiple deaths, but I can't. Maybe you're okay with electing a crooked politician as president, but I'm not. She deleted 30,000+ emails and won't disclose their content. If she can't' be trusted to tell America the truth, she doesn't deserve to be trusted as president.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
