Despite claiming to be an activist against racism, Carson has stated that he does not believe a Muslim should be allowed to be president of the United States. In an article written June 2015, Carson states, “Racism was once epidemic in America, but through struggle, sacrifice, soul-searching and meaningful social change, we have made much progress. Clearly, the struggle is far from finished, and we must own up to that fact and that challenge.” Many media outlets have called him a hypocrite, saying although he claims to be an activist, he is being racist when stating that Muslims should not be president. Carson has not backed down from his statement, believing that a Muslim president would be a terrorist attempting to attack the United States. Despite his controversial stance on this issue, Carson has only risen in the polls, destroying Trump’s major lead. With a single percent separating the two, Carson’s campaign has proven to be very

In addition, Trump’s face is exaggerated to an extent that is not appealing to the viewers that can view him as the disgusting person. The article “Is this a Muslim ban? Trump’s executive order explained”, created by Alan Yuhas and Mazin Sidahmed, explains how Trump’s presidency actions have been affecting the U.S. Recently, Trump put out a ban against seven Muslim countries from traveling back to the U.S. Many immigration lawyers and employers had to warn immigrants not to leave the country since Donald Trump is now in office.
● Jefferson Smith certainly appears to have personal appeal as a presidential candidate. He is young and bright-eyed, eager to get involved in politics and work his way up the ladder. Also, even if one was not a liberal, Smith could
Throughout the article, Continetti highlights many of the basic conservative principles as described in the presentation. “Trump had many of the qualities of a successful presidential candidate: charisma, a strong message, future-oriented policies, a call for peace through strength and a core base of support” (Continetti, 2016). While controversy and scandal did mare the Trump campaign’s conservative look, Continetti analyzes that it was Trump ’s larger than life persona that also helped to diminish his opponent’s liberal
As a Baptist minister Huckabee personally opposes legalization but as a presidential candidate his is getting out in front of the issue. “I think we need to recognize, marijuana has never made anybody a better citizen,” Huckabee said. “Do we really think marijuana is something we want to encourage people to have greater access to? Does it make you a better worker? Does it make you a better mom or dad?”
He has been in politics for many years and this enables him to make great political decisions. He will make great choices when it comes to the United States safety. Graham might have aspects that will make him a good president but Huckabee has the experience of leading a state to success. Huckabee for
In the 2016 presidential election campaign, fifteen republicans and five democrats began the race for the upcoming position offered country wide. Current republican, Carly Fiorina, placed sixth in the top ten candidates running. Throughout the country many nominees such as Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, and Ben Carson are running for office but none of them meet the criteria that the country needs. Former U.S. Senate runner up, Carly Fiorina, supports LGBT rights, opposes abortion, supports the second amendment, and she believes that it is the state’s decision to legalize marijuana. The country is struggling with these issues in each state but she will manage it to the best of her ability with all opinions of the people in mind.
“I don’t know how old my phone is, but it was $10” - Andrew Luck. This is very ironic because Andrew Luck is one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL and he just signed the most expensive contract with the Indianapolis Colts in NFL history worth $122 million over 5 years plus a $32 million signing bonus. If he has a $10 cell phone then that leaves a lot of money to donate or do whatever he wants. But he also risks his life every time he goes out on the field because it is a known fact that concussions kill people. Plus he already acquired a couple injuries in the past and he just turned 27 on September 12th.
People rebel when no justice being served. It is understandable why people act a certain way. Have you ever loved someone more than yourself? A person is your biggest pride and joy to be safe?

Chris McCandless was in his early 20’s, he was the kind of that guy that wanted to learn and experience life without all of the material things. He wanted to be independent from his parents and friends so Chris did something that would be insane for most of us humans but to him, it wasn’t. He went into the wild of Alaska for months, in fact, McCandless even thought he could make it out alive at the end of his journey. As a matter of fact, he was known as being a risk taker and enjoyed being out and about in the nature side of the world. Many would believe that Chris McCandless went into the wild to purposely kill himself; however, I myself believe that McCandless did not do it purposely.
