“Year after year, polls show the American public is dissatisfied with our political leaders,” said Mr. Sporleader. Even though Trump has no political experience it seems that some of his success in his campaign has come from that negativity toward political leaders.
“She definitely has political experience and her supporters are willing to look past her email scandal,” Mr. Sporleader said. With election day approaching soon our country will receive a very controversial president.

Jordan Milligan is a supporter of Donald Trump. “I believe Trump will make a good president because he believes in American exceptionalism, he’s committed to fixing our broken education System as well as getting rid of common core, as well as he demands high performance,” Milligan said. Then I asked him why does he not support Hillary Clinton and Milligan continued, “Hillary Clinton on the other hand has put American lives in danger! Clinton is responsible for many American deaths due to poor judgment as well as blatant defiance of regulations and rules and safety precautions!”. Lastly I asked Milligan what he would like to say to his fellow classmates “I urge anybody who can vote to vote whether it’s for Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton! I believe we need to continue to exercise that right so that it won’t be taken away!” Milligan said.

Isabell Casas is a supporter of Hillary Clinton “I support Hilary because I look at her as a very strong woman figure and someone who really fights and understands first hand what being a woman in this society is like,” Casas said. Then she continued on why she does not support Trump,
“One of the obvious reasons I don’t like Donald is because of his comments and opinions on minorities. And me being a minority myself I don’t respect his choice of words or the way he carries himself,” Casas said. She also had something to say to her classmates, “The only thing I’d really like to say to students is to really research and understand the people you’re voting for. Don’t come to conclusions immediately, weigh both sides then come to a conclusion,” Casas said.
