On a chilly Monday night in September, Ray Liang sits on the couch sipping his Corona and throws a mouthful of angry words as Donald Trump debates against Hilary Clinton in the 2016 Presidential Debate. Liang, a 27 year old graduate student, is infuriated by the words uttered by Trump, the Republican party nomination, on Liang’s 48 inch Vizio television. Clinton, the Democratic party nomination is relatable to Liang but thoughts of hidden secrets keep him from showing his full support.
“At one side, Trump will give us the next Hunger Games, said Liang.””Clinton isn’t trustworthy so I might as well start planning my move to Canada.”
Reactions around the United States of America pertaining Trump and Clinton’s road to Presidency have similarities to Liang. The 2016 Republican and Democratic campaigns have both received negativity. Clinton has been plagued with growing health concerns as well as her controversial e-mail scandal. Trump’s Achilles heel revolves around his responses and proposed policies. Trump’s unwillingness to display his tax forms provides controversy as every candidate in past years have displayed their tax forms.
Electoral candidates have received negative and positive impacts in minds of US citizens. My focus is going to be revolving around students like Ray that justify the need for a qualified candidate with no scandals or controversy.
