The 2016 Elections have been considerably controversial so far and many have already chosen a side. There are two main parties, which would be Democratic and Republican. Hillary Clinton is a Democratic candidate, while Donald Trump is a Republican candidate. According to Fox News, Pennsylvania is a lean toward Clinton. Although, both candidates are very close. As far as controversy, people have been worried about Clinton’s health, going as far as saying she is unfit to so much as run for presidency. Then they are concerned over Trump’s professionalism, due to his not-so politically correct speeches at rallies.
Concerning Clinton’s health, news articles and videos have been released, as well as photos, describing her encounter with blood clotting in the past. This a serious medical situation, as blood clotting can cause improper blood flow, as well as becoming light headed, inducing strokes and heart attacks, difficulty breathing, fainting, nausea, blindness, headaches, loss of coordination, and if left long enough…death. Some videos have shown what seems to be minor seizures and news articles all over the place are talking about signs of weakness. People have been continuously asking Clinton to release her medical files, including Trump.
Since the beginning of the election, people have been all over the place with Trump. He has been this year’s Internet joke, and many people have since turned to Hillary for president. I’m sure many people who have the slightest clue about him will have heard everything from him being called a liar to a racist. This is due to his immigration views, to which many people have taken offense. He believes all illegal immigrants should be deported. Stephen Colbert, a TV Personnel, most recently called Trump out on lying about the so-called “birther” controversy (the idea surrounding President Obama’s birth certificate). While Trump stated that Clinton started it and he ended it, Colbert then showed multiple videos proving the statement wrong. This has recently blown up, continuing the statements being made about Trump.
As far as I am concerned, the election could go either way. I disagree with both candidates, but it is not up to me. There is a fine line to walk on when one is running for president and it’s up to the people of America to decide who is more capable. Hillary Clinton, years of experience, or Donald Trump, billionaire business-man? You decide.
