It’s that time again, election time! Time for both Democrats and Republicans to debate and campaign for what they believe and stand for. This can bring up a lot of serious issues that both parties have different views on. Everybody has a different opinion and some believe that the Republican party has offended minorities in America, Latino’s, homosexuals, women, etc. There is a reason for this and not just an offensive generalization. Some Americans see it as a human rights issue and give a lot of negativity towards the Republicans because of their opinions and how they are considered discrimination. Everyone has the right to their own opinion. Although the opinion of the Republican's may be different to another's, it should not be considered any less because there is a reason for this and not just an offensive generalization. …show more content…
That is a fact, but why? Each party has pros and cons, but why is it the Republicans have a reputation so bad, people from other countries even recognise it? Recently the Republican Party has been separating into two divisions, the minority of it being the Tea Party. The Tea Party is a radical, but small amount of the Republicans who have a louder voice than the majority. They have firm believes in Obama’s failure in presidency, minimizing the government and taxes, and conservative ideas, as shown with gay marriage and immigration. Although the Republican Party does, in fact, believe in more traditional ideas, as such, they are not as radical as they are represented by the Tea Party. The American population as a whole is seeing a misrepresented idea of what the republican party is, does, and
California is probably going to decide the Democratic nominee. If Hillary lose California big you can expect a contested convention to happen on the Democratic side. Hillary won 't have enough pledge delegate once the primaries are over. This would be a good thing for Trump it give him the time and energy he needs to come up with a ground game. I hope that Trump will use the convention as a way to recruit Bernie Sander support to our side.

The 1996 U.S Presidential Election The U.S. Presidential Election of 1996 was the fifty-third quadrennial election. It was held on Tuesday, November 5, 1996.

The Democratic Debate on Tuesday, October 13 was set to be a great Las Vegas show. It was doubtful that this debate would be anywhere near as fun to watch as the Republican debate with it’s over the top characters Trump, Fiorina, Christie and Bush but it did give an important idea where these particular candidates stand on issues that worry the everyday American. Anderson Cooper introduced the candidates as they took the stage - Chafee, O’Malley, Clinton, Sanders, and Webb. As the candidates introduced themselves and Cooper starts the debate with an awesome question to Clinton, “Will you say anything to get elected?” Clinton explains that any changes in her positions have more to do with learning more about the issues and that as a progressive candidate she likes to get things done.
the comparison is often made between modern Republicans and 1950s democrats; news anchors, political figures, and many Americans often compare the views of 1950s democrats to the views of modern Republicans. Political views change drastically year by year and the views of political parties have been known to flip. The conclusion can be made that 1950s Democrats and modern Republicans do share some similarities in political views, but usually differ on the way a situation should be handled or funded. Democrats have always been supporters of government supported social programs since the early 1900s, even more so as the years go on As the twentieth century progressed, Democrats increasingly supported social programs that sought to aid struggling
The scope of the effect that a third party has in the United States is extremely limited. Not only do candidates from the Tea Party need to outcompete opposing members from the Democratic Party, but they also have to compete with members of the Republican Party, a party with which it shares very similar ideology. In order for third parties to successfully enact their agenda, minor parties like the Tea Party either have to influence the elections of major party candidates that they support, or prevent the elections of candidates they oppose. It is clearly possible for members of the Tea Party faction to reach positions of power. Several candidates have been elected to the U.S. Congress.
Both the Democrats and the Republicans like to think of themselves as the true heirs of Thomas Jefferson. The modern Democrats are historically descended from the Democratic-Republican Party that Jefferson himself organized to thwart the ambitions of Alexander Hamilton (although, ironically, they were known as "Republicans" in Jefferson 's time). Democrats around the country annually celebrate Jefferson-Jackson Dinners, avowedly declaring a connection between Jefferson and the modern Democratic Party. But Republicans claim that their platform of small government and low taxes is more in line with true Jeffersonian philosophy than that of the big-government Democrats.

There are also third parties such as the Constitution party, the Green party, the Independent party, and the Libertarian party.

I try to stay relatively quiet about elections and my political beliefs because I don't want to be called a "bitch." But you know what? If a bitch is a woman with an informed opinion, strong values, and who stands up for both of them, then I am happy to be a bitch. The world needs more bitches, to encourage girls to voice their opinions. We're especially going to need more bitches for these next four years.
The Republicans as of today are very different, yet similar to the other,
Republicans all over the country are upset about Donald Trump being the republican nominee. Many people have stated that the republicans do not have anyone to blame but themselves.

The Democrats and Republicans parties have set the standards, values and morals for what they represent which leaves the public to both drop their beliefs and join what closets represents them or be left in the middle to where nothing is done to represent what they
In the Obama vs. Trump era, the parties have a hard time with this concept as they are so determined to prove the opposing party wrong. As shown in the study by Pew Research Center, 55% of Democrats have a high distaste for the Republican party while a whopping 58% of Republicans have highly unfavorable opinions of the Democratic party. When far-right businessman Donald Trump who held no prior public office got elected as president in 2016, liberal was not only shocked, they were disgusted. Polarization has created such a gap between the parties that the conservatives decided to side with a choice they knew the liberals would despise the most out of all the candidates. After Trump was inaugurated, the tension started rising to new heights as the media has attacked Donald Trump more than they did President Obama or Bush (according to Pew Research Center), but that is only because the president has been unwilling to agree with any liberal ideologies in the slightest, trying to reverse all work done by Obama.
