As we all know, a lot can change between now and when it's time to cast your vote for President.
Assuming that Donald Trump's campaign does not implode AND Hillary Clinton doesn't get arrested, these are the only two choices.
Assuming that Donald Trump's campaign does not implode AND Hillary Clinton doesn't get arrested, these are the only two choices.
- Hillary Clinton: Most Americans do not trust her, and many think she is a 3rd term of President Obama. Although she's been running in the Democratic Primary farther to the left on some issues, most look at her close relationship to Wall Street as reason to think she will moderate. As Secretary of State, Clinton traveled a lot of miles, and appeared to be influential Secretary of State, does she want to include the Russia reset, the rise of ISIS, Libya and Syria as successes? Clinton says she'll not only contain, but defeat ISIS under her watch. Economically, Clinton has proposed new spending programs, but isn't as clear on how to pay for them under than taxing the top 1%. She is fighting (on the current campaign) for tougher gun control laws, and while she has more experience in Government than anyone else running, many have been lukewarm to her message (despite a commanding lead), possibly due to Clinton fatigue (scandals or at least the impression of one), and a lack of trust.
- Donald Trump: Trump is not running on policy, it wouldn't seem, and he has managed to offend women, Muslims, and Mexicans so far in his campaign. He claims that Mexico will build a wall, and will pay for it (while liking it) and that he will deport all illegal immigrants, but will allow the good ones back in. Recently, he proposed banning all Muslims from entering the country. Economically, Trump's tax plan has been seen as heavily favoring the top 1%, not his actual middle class supporters. Trump is seen as being a leader, and being credited by his supports for saying how it is (non politically correct) and has had a penchant for exaggerating or lying on various topics, and will have to overcome comments that have offended various segments of the population. Trump has dominated the media throughout his campaign, making it difficult for other candidates to get any media attention, and will surely continue to run a non-traditional campaign in 2016.
