2016 Presidential Candidate – Pro – Clinton

Using 2 of the supplied sources, first explain the electoral college and evaluate whether or not it should be abolished and replaced with the direct, popular vote. From here, identify and analyze two strengths and two weakness of both Clinton and Trump. Determine which candidate’s strengths outweigh their weaknesses and demonstrate why.

I will like this statement included in the article, and then supported by the listed material:

-Use 12 point font, double space, 1 inch margins all around, times new roman font. Use proper grammar, punctuation and spelling

-develop a thesis statement at the end of the first paragraph. A sample thesis: The electoral college should be abolished because of x and y. In addition to the pitfalls (or strengths) of the electoral college, selecting a president is difficult (or fairly simple). Each candidate has several weaknesses that outweigh their strengths (or the reverse depending on your position). Despite theses challenges (Clinton’s/Trump’s) strengths outweigh the weaknesses making the candidate a suitable selection for president.
-Use topic sentences for the paragraphs
-cite the readings listed to support your position
-For those who do not believe the strengths outweigh the weaknesses, I can provide articles on third parties. But you will still need to measure the two party candidate’s strengths and weaknesses before going into alternatives.
-You do not need to read all these articles but should read the first on the electoral college, and then at least two from each side on the candidates.

6 Big Reasons To Vote For Hillary Clinton

USE ONLY 2 SOURCES FOR TRUMP AND TWO FOR CLINTON, AND 2 FOR THE ELECTORAL.

The paper has to be supporting the following opinion:

If Donald Trump didn’t continuously display prejudice remarks openly, and didn’t think like a capitalist only, I perhaps would have voted for him due to his lack of political experience. However, because of the very reason that through the debates, he had made several poor decisions and marred the characteristics of others, he is the undesirable candidate. Granted, Hillary Clinton isn’t my favorite choice either — but this election is limited in the qualities of the choices we have. It’s like choosing the less evil of two, which I think is Clinton who still displays the sense social values.
