It has come to be that time of year again where we step into the booth and press a bunch of buttons to be submitted to the federal government to determine who is going to run our country for the next four years. This years election is especially important because this president will determine the votes of the court for the next several years. It has come to everyone's attention that this years candidates are both really intelligent people, but really really bad candidates.

We have our democratic candidate Mrs. Hillary Clinton

Hillary Clinton has been under investigation for her secret emails and has allegedly been proven to be a liar. Shortly before she was sworn in as secretary of state in 2009, Hillary Clinton set up an email server at her home in Chappaqua, New York. She then relied on this server, home to the email address for all her electronic correspondence - both work-related and personal - during her four years in office. She never actually set up a work or .gov related email and just used this as her own personal and work email. This of course, violated federal requirements where anyone working for the government was to have an email that was set up specifically for government purposes. By using the same email for work and personally it gave her total control over her email where no one could look to see what she was doing with her "personal email". An FBI investigation found that Mrs Clinton used "numerous personal devices" while in office and relied on several email servers. Through this investigation the FBI found that Hillary was giving away top secret information to other countries about where our US Military troops and spies were. This was discovered in the 2012 Benghazi "accident" where a Al Qaeda had found a secret base where members of the CIA were hiding.

As a registered voter and someone who pays attention to politics, this is by far the number one reason why I could never vote for Hillary. Of course I am a woman and a feminist; and yes Hillary is fighting for women's rights, but as a person who loves and highly respects our troops, I could never want anyone who violates federal law to be in office. This woman tenably lied and denied in ever way that she had anything to do with what happened in Benghazi when it was proved by the FBI that it happened. She still has not gone to jail and she still is in the lead to be our next president.



Along with her emails her specific ideas that she has just don't entirely make any sense to me. Hillary has said on numerous occasions that she is very for helping out small businesses. Okay that is great! It is important to have small businesses. They offer jobs to Americans and it draws more money in for taxes. So how are you going to help these small businesses Mrs Clinton?

Wait can we go back to the part where you said you wanted to help small business but raise the minimum wage?

By raising the minimum wage Hillary, you are only hurting the small businesses that can't afford to pay their employees $15/hr.This will then make that small business, go out of business.

Hillary, I just don't understand your thinking of how you are going to take away high weaponry guns from those who already have them? What about the guns that aren't even registered?


Good luck with that.


Next we have our Republican Candidate Mr. Donald Trump

Donald Trump is a business man from New York who has raised an empire from a million dollars to a few billion dollars.



Donald Trump is one of the most talked about candidates in any election ever. It could be the fact that he has great ideas but just doesn't know how to keep his mouth shut.


And he says he wants Mexico to pay for the wall and if they don't pay for it, he is just going to build the wall higher


And I really just don't understand how you expect the American people to pay taxes when you don't pay taxes yourself.


Well I think our best bet for November 8th is that our country is going to expire and we have no hope until Kanye runs for President in 2020
