The election is coming up quickly. After Kasich and Cruz dropped out, only three candidates remain: Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, and Bernie Sanders. Obviously, Trump running for President was sort of a joke to many people, but now that it’s narrowed down, people are starting to change their minds and think about what would be best in the future.
Trump was not expected to go very far in this election because of his poor behavior. At first, a lot of people were against him because of his racist and sexist remarks. Many women and people of different races especially didn’t like him because of the comments he would make about anyone that wasn’t a rich, white man. Other than his experience and decent ideas, there really isn't much to like about Trump. He has the most normal ideas out of all the candidates, but his comments make people see him as just a rude person. Bernie is a socialist, Cruz was conservative, and Hillary is a criminal, so that doesn’t leave much room for normal candidates, which we don’t have.
Since either Donald or Hillary is expected to be elected, US citizens are considering who they’re going to vote for (or if they want to vote at all - many people are just avoiding the situation altogether). Surprisingly, a lot of people who didn’t support or believe in Trump are beginning to see him as a serious option. A family friend, James, asked, “Who would you rather have as President? A criminal [Hillary] or just a really bad person?” Just like James, people are realizing that Hillary Clinton may really be fake and wouldn’t be trustworthy as President, while Donald Trump is super transparent and likes to speak his mind.
