Third Presidential Debate Pros And Cons

The question on whether Gore or Bush Won is still being talked about today. I lean more towards a Republican’s views but that doesn't mean I think Bush won fairly. It all comes down to a person's morality and judgement in whether they count the dimpled chad or not which they initially should. If Florida's votes were recounted Al Gore would have won with a ratio of 3 to 1. But in the end Bush did an exceptional job as president even if we got a war debt to pay he acted fast and I approved of his

Jay Van Bavel’s 2016 article addresses an important and relevant issue: voters’ deeply divided perceptions of presidential candidates. According to Bavel, approximately 70 million viewers tuned in to watch the final presidential debate on October 19, 2016. In theory, one would be valid in assuming that while processing such an event, everyone should be experiencing the same reality—all are watching the same debate, hearing the same words said by the same people. Strangely, however, this is not the case: in reality, Republicans and Democrats concluded the debates with drastically separate conclusions on the candidates. According to a CNN poll referenced to within Bavel’s article, Hillary Clinton won the first debate, with 67% compared to Donald Trump’s 27%. However, a further examination of these statistics reveals an obvious divergence between the democratic and republican parties. According to democrats, Clinton won (89% to 5%); according to republicans, Trump won (54% to 28%). Why is there such a great divide when both parties were presented with the exact same information? People do not see the world objectively—without the influence of personal biases. Instead, people reinforce the goals and values of the partisan group they identify with, allowing the party’s views to color their perceptions of identical information (Bavel).

Everyone is most definitely ready for a change. It’s just I’m not sure how these changes are going to be obtained. A third-party candidate could actually have a chance at winning the popular vote. However, when it comes to the electoral college and their votes that is where the problem lies. Then, comes the ever popular resource in politics which is money. Funding the campaign to go up against republican and democratic nominees wouldn’t be cheap.

The democratic debate stage almost bursted into flames when one of the hosts questioned Bernie Sanders’ eligibility to be called a democratic representative. He recounted the facts that Sanders had been the “longest serving independent in the United States Congress,” and only joined the Democratic Party recently. Sanders replied with an enumeration of his previous projects with the party during the time. He bravely confirmed those facts, and proved that even though he officially did not work with his current political party for a long amount, he still supported their ideas and projects. To support his claim, Sanders reminded that audience that he “caucused with the House [of Representatives] for 19 years,... caucused with the Senate for 9 years,... and was elected by the democrats to be the chair of the Veterans committee three years ago.” Sanders then mentioned the 50-states party strategy that revived Hillary Clinton’s voice against her rival. She acknowledged that it was former the Vermont Governor's idea, Howard Dean, to have the 50-states party system. Her turn to count the people supporting her presidency followed the small

A Bush vs. Gore election, a completely unfair and illegitimate political race. Fighting for the final battle in Florida, winner claim to be the next president of the United States. With Bush’s brother to be the governor, every news station and political of Florida Palm Beach County, in Florida, home to many older and possibly more senile people. When voting for the next President, many people have believed to have incorrectly voted and claimed to have voted for someone they didn’t choose to. Gore lost the machine count, however many people were demanding a re-vote since they feel as if their votes were not properly filled out and/ or counted for the wrong candidate. Bush was leading by 15,000, however there was multiple mix ups with the numbers

The presidential election in the year 2000 was full of controversy. The election was incredibly close. There were accusations of “hanging chads”, faulty voting equipment and an election that was too close to call. Normally in an election when it appears as though one person is clearly in the lead the tradition is that the person who is losing “concedes” the election. This is an important part of the election process in the United States. In the election of 2000 the vote was so incredibly close that he retracted his concession. This threw the whole system into chaos.

The presidential election of 2000 rose great suspicion due to its call for a ballot re-count in the state of Florida. The legitimacy of this election is considerably debatable in terms who truly won between Republican George W. Bush, and Democrat Al Gore. This correlates to the fact that 175,000 of Al Gore’s votes were deemed as “uncounted” raising suspicion among the Democratic party. Coincidentally, citizens of Palm Beach Florida became outraged as they became suspicious that their votes were counted incorrectly. As many of these citizens claimed they had voted for Gore, the ballots show they voted for Republican, Pat Buchanan. Due to this, a re-count of all ballots took place, thus leading to nationwide confusion as to who truly won.

Christianity in the Handmaid's Tale In modern day society it is hard to pick out religion in literature and culture, In the book How to Read Literature Like a Professor, chapter 14 mentions how American literature is somehow based around Christian beliefs, Although in The Handmaid’s Tale there is no obvious Christ like figure, there are still many hidden details that suggest a connection to religious beliefs. A common and ongoing theme in this book is the relationship of women and children. The handmaid's have a strange relationship with the kids they bear, Handmaids give birth then those kids are given given to the couple that the handmaid is assigned to. Handmaid's are basically defined by their fertility because that is their job, this -although

“One may be making a virtuous decision when choosing the lesser of two evils, but one will still find himself stuck with an evil choice.” Many Americans today find themselves in this predicament when concerning the two possible choices for President of the United States. On one hand you have Hillary Clinton who the Federal Bureau of Investigations labeled “careless” and “grossly negligent” in the handling of America's top secret information. To the contrary you have Donald Trump who has said “he would like to ban all muslims”. Both of these examples merely scratch the surface on the quality of these two candidates. Correspondingly many Americans agree that neither Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton are fit to be President of the United States.

The race for the White House is a long and tedious process that is mobbed by campaigns events and stump speeches, but more importantly candidates are givens the opportunity to contrast their ideas with other candidates in televised debates. On January 17, 2016, I tuned into the Democratic Presidential Debate that was hosted by NBC News in Charleston, SC and moderated by Lester Holt. This debate included all three Presidential contenders: Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, and Martin O’Malley. All candidates made reference to Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in their opening statements because of the King holiday being the following day. Each candidate tried their best to make an appeal to continuing the work of Dr. King by ensuring justice

The soviet communist party, or the Bolsheviks, always new that strong propaganda was essential to increase the consciousness of the masses. As stated in the Encyclopedia of Propaganda, " propaganda was central to Marxist-Leninist ideology long before the Bolshevik revolution of 1917."(675) The power of persuasion and coercion were exercised with great force by Soviet leaders. The two leaders whom utilized propaganda to influence public opinion in the USSR were Vladimir Lenin and Joseph Stalin. Both men used many different facets of the media to spread their propaganda. They also used the troubled social climate along with the ignorance of the masses to custom tailor a regime that lasted for over seven decades.

Another four years another presidential debate. Before I go on to the current debates let me state a few facts about past ones. The Lincoln and Douglas debate was in important because it started Lincoln presidential career. The Debates lasted from August 21 -- October 15. There where seven of them, with two days to two weeks in between. Each debate lasted three hours; first candidate spoke for one hour; the second for one and a half hours; the first replying for a half hour. Candidates alternated going first. The topics involved where primarily slavery and the Union. Other important debates were the '48 and '57. They were the only debates before 1960; there were no presidential debates between 1960 and 1976. In

We are a byproduct of our environments, experiences, education and relationships. What we, think, do, believe, is part of us and our being, and our bias. In addition, there are also other threats to validity such as history effects, maturation effects, testing effects, instrumentation effects, selection effects, situation effects and involvement effects (Vassallo, 2004).
