Well another interesting week in the political world has just finished and at this point in time we now know who the two contenders for President of United States will be coming this November. As all of you probably know the Republican nominee is to be Donald Trump and the Democratic nominee is Hillary Clinton.
This is a surefire way for the media to get ever higher ratings within the next couple of months. It is unbelievable how this dream matchup for mass media will enable their ratings and their own TV popularity to skyrocket into levels they themselves had never seen coming. But, this matchup is an interesting one because in some ways people look at this match up and wonder if it really is a match up or not. At this point many Trump supporters are feeling the heat from the rest of the country as people are condemning the fact that he is the Republican nominee. On the other hand with the fact that he's justifiably the nominee due to the number of delegates he was able to bring in past the magic number of 1237 Trump has become a force to be reckoned with this election year.
The amazing thing about the summer to come is that while these two contenders for the Presidency of the United States are going to debate and will be having heated crossfires over topics that are very important to this nation; the bottom line is that the future comes with a very open possibilities. For someone like Trump, for example, this time last year he had not even announced that he was going to be a candidate for President of United States and yet he stands here today less than a year later the Republican nominee.
Of course, as was expected from many in the political world from the very beginning the President has officially and formally announced his support for Clinton. While this comes as no shock based on their own history and the history of their administrations it is interesting how suddenly the Sanders campaign is willing to allow the Clinton campaign to take the democratic nomination when just less than a week ago Sanders condemned the very idea that Clinton would be the nominee.
With all of the action happening in the political world these days it seems interesting how Sanders's losses in New Jersey for example and also South Dakota came as reason for him to back out of trying to become the Democratic nominee. Now, although the Sanders campaign says they're backing out so that Clinton campaign can rival trump starting at an earlier point in the year it seems that there might be some hidden messages from his backing out.
Meanwhile on the Republican side there is a huge problem with Republicans being divided rather than coming together in unity against the Democratic stronghold at this point in the election. Key party leaders in the Republican Party need to realize that if they continue saying divisive statements against the peoples nominee then there will be no election for the Republican side. People will soon realize how divisive they are and how divided the party is as a whole and their chances at the election would be slim to none compared to the unity the Democratic side has been able to maintain through the last couple of months.
This is not to say though that the Democratic side of the election this year doesn't have its own problems. For the first time in a very long time on the democratic side the nominee was not chosen in May but rather in June and while this one month difference seems not that significant it shows that there was a significant amount of support for Sanders and now that Clinton has been able to clinch the nomination it's up to her and her staff to be able to attract Sanders supporters rather than allowing them to become Trump supporters which they easily could do based on the, at times, similar ideologies on certain topics Trump and Sanders have. This is in no way to say that Trump supporters and Sander supporters are very similar but this is to say that both Trump supporters and Sanders supporters are mostly independents.
Of course on the Democratic side many party leaders in Congress have decided to quickly step up to the plate and push their endorsements for Clinton.
The overall idea here is that the next couple of months will be an interesting couple of months as the race continues and the general election begins. On the one hand there is a woman running for president but at the same time and buy a very interesting token there is also a man who is never had a years experience in politics running for president who is now become the Republican nominee for President. In this way history can be made in two fashions and not just one. Both candidates understand the implications of their candidacy and will probably push on the fact that they are making history as part of a means to bolster both of their campaigns.
Let the General Election begin.
