8 Reasons None Of The Candidates Should Become President

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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
