With the upcoming election, I decided that it might be interesting to see how both leading candidates, Clinton and Trump, portray themselves to the public. Everybody's trying to find the truth: the REAL news behind the "rigged" media coverage and the twisting of words. Since I am a guilty college student who didn't really do her homework on knowing more about the candidates, I decided, in honor of election day, to finally educate myself on their views on controversial issues. There's no better way to get a quick and shallow view of each candidate than going to their own (sponsored) websites and learning what they're truly about.

Here's what I learned:

1. Visual

Clinton's homepage: It starts off with an inspirational video made about her campaign for presidency. In the video, she lists the ups and downs of running and ultimately predicts her victory. Clinton's page has more pictures and color. There are no charts or graphs contained in her webpage.

Trump's homepage: Trump's is more word-based and gives points on his vision for the country. The majority of the pictures are graphs and charts on what could be improved. There are no pictures of people.

Both Homepages: Both are red-white-and-blue themed and have contribution pages. Clinton's contribution amount starts at $1 and goes up to $25, and Trump's starts at $10 and goes up to $2,700. You can make your own number if you want, but these are the options for those who need a guideline.

2. Home/ Page Content

Trump's Homepage: Trump lists the sixteen major issues and his viewpoints on each. He structures the content to contain mostly "his vision" and the "contrast with Hillary". His motto, if you don't already know, is "make America great again". His shop content is all embossed with his motto.

Clinton's Homepage: Hillary lists 41 issues and also shares all her viewpoints. She endorses the positive things she'll do to improve all these issues. Her motto wasn't as clear, but seemed something along the lines of "stronger together", "Love trumps hate", or "I'm with her."

3. Few things I would've liked to see

For Both websites: Neither addressed the issues or gaffs they've made in public, such as the comments Trump made and the infamous emails of Clinton's. A section of explanation, no matter how believe it would be, would have made me feel slightly better.

For Trump's Website: Trump's "contrast to Hillary" sections in his issues were only saying how ineffective or 'bad' Hillary would be as president. Instead, I would have liked to see how his ideas actually contrasted, rather than just putting her actions down. Hillary's website, at least, did not actively put down Trump (well, besides the slight, "Love trumps hate") on her website.

Nevertheless, this is just the website alone.

During the debates, their blatant mudslinging and incivility is inexcusable. Both candidates sunk to a low level, which has been disappointing to voters across America. Nobody's perfect, but blunt insulting and name-calling? You're both over 50; not five. Actually, I've seen five year olds behave more maturely than these two. It's one thing to be an embarrassment to yourself, but it's completely different thing to be an embarrassment to both yourself and your country? Make America Great Again?Stronger together? Work on yourself first. While I may have no right to be preaching, at least I'm not the one running for President.

All in all, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I've said a limited version of mine. Whatever the outcome, here's hoping for the next four years, America. Most. Awkward. Election. Ever.
