Presidential Candidates

The presidential election starts with at the beginning of the election year. When candidates announce plans to run for office. During this sage candidates make speeches, and participate in debates. During this time candidates within the same party compete with each other for delegates. These delegates act as representatives who pledge to support the candid’s nomination at the national party convention and persuade potential voters in general.

Of the many Presidential Candidates that America has for the 2016 Presidential Election, there are those who have national television coverage and those whose names haven’t been announced to the world. Two candidates that have been climbing up the voting latter for their respective parties are the Democratic Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders who is currently said to be trailing closely behind the front-runner Hillary Clinton (The Huffington Post) and the Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump who is known to be the unexpected wild card of the Presidential candidates. Both Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders have similar interest in their various policies but they approach each topic with a different stance. Out of their respected parties, both of these gentlemen stand out with their views on Equality and Healthcare. Although they both cover these sections in their policies, the way the two of them have decided to go about changing America is completely different. On the one hand, Bernie Sanders fights for the rights of women of every color and affordable HealthCare. Donald Trump has made it clear where he stands in relation to his views on Equality for women and the LGBTQI community. He’s against gay marriage and has been quoted numerous times for speaking badly about the women he’s come into contact with—his most well-known exploit is the vulgar statement he made about Rosie O’Donnell. Donald Trump also stands

There have been 43 presidents in which they had to go through the same election process as the two popular presidential candidates in 2016, those being Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. Some candidates have done some stupid things that would cause controversial statements about being a presidential candidate and others have been prepared since they were young to be president. The way a candidate presents themselves to the people who are voting really matters because if a candidate does not appeal to the voters there is no chance one will win the candidacy. In order to establish which presidential candidate is the best in the 2016 presidential elections. I believe Hillary Clinton is the best president candidate in 2016. But in order to determine that one has to analyze each individual’s past from when they were young to mid adult life and to the present. This will allow one to understand their stands, their character, and their potential as future president.

There are two gentlemen in the run-off for Louisiana’s next governor. As Election Day nears, the campaign ads of these gubernatorial candidates have changed drastically from the beginning of their political race. Voters are accustomed to campaign advertisements through television commercials. At the start of this race, the candidates disclosed important details about themselves. They listed their political experience, their accomplishments, and their ideas for the future. Now that the field of candidates has narrowed, the type of television commercials has changed; the two candidates have “gone negative.” When candidates “go negative,” their attention is focused on the opponent’s unfavorable characteristics. Negative political ads discourage

The media has never had the extreme omnipresence it had during the most recent federal elections. For more and more people the media is becoming something habitual, and politicians were among the first to take advantage of this fact. Be it a parties usage of online social platforms, 24-hour news broadcasting stations, or circa the 1800s printed word, there is no doubt the typical citizen feels connected in some regards to this mass of media. With most third-party communication technologies surfacing within the recent decades, the general affect on citizens ' lives is not fully understood. This connection is immense and complex, but it can

An election for President of the United States occurs every four years on Election Day, held the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. The election process begins with the primary elections and caucuses and moves to nominating conventions, during which political parties each select a nominee to unite behind. The nominee also announces a Vice Presidential running mate at this time.

To begin, as any American citizen of the United States you have the right to become a political candidate for any office that you qualify for in your district. Starting with smaller, easier to win political campaigns and gradually moving your way up to larger offices is a smart way to advance your political career and have more opportunities to affect positive results for people in your surrounding community and district.

A supporter of a candidate, who holds strong opinions on various political topics, typically runs these websites. While it is great that people have a platform to speak their mind in regards to politics, it can become problematic. Since many of these websites are built on opinions, it is hard to find credible websites that speak the facts about candidates, and how the candidates honestly feel about specific political topics. Everyday I see political posts on Facebook that credit one candidate while discrediting another. These posts are usually very opinionated and lack fair representation. The Internet has also been used to spread false accusations about competing political candidates. Once an accusation has been posted online, it typically spreads quickly and can be hard to recover from. Candidates will use this tactic to reveal information about other candidates that may have been taken out of context, resulting in a loss of supporters for said

Firstly, while in the past politicians were scrutinized during the elections, now, thanks to the widespread usage of the internet and its social networks, a political leader is constantly evaluated by the public opinion. The internet increased the capacity of the electorate to gather their political demands and monitor their political leaders while they are in office. Therefore, in order to raise enough votes to

In fact, “[a]though television is still the principal medium of election politics, some analysts believe that the Internet will eventually overtake it” (Patterson, 2015 pg.262). Reason being that creating a website is much less expensive than television advertising and allows you to fundraise as well as generate supporters. The only down side is that these messages are more easily disregarded than those of television advertising and makes it harder in reaching voters who are less interested. Nonetheless, campaigning through means of the web is a great tactic for candidates to

Illnesses, educational systems, research, global warming issues, and international conflicts are issues that long term effects. By the time people discuss an issue, come to conclusion and complete the task, their will be a greater repercussion. On the other hand, the time span of politicians was always the next election, typically four years, or else anything between two and seven years. This leads to the problem of politicians using social media as a chance to gain popularity for the next election. For example, Donald Trump leads the polls for Republican presidential candidates, but he has little to no experience in politics. People create instant online popularity ratings for reigning office holders, pressing them for short term solutions. The politicians then react by putting a quick fix to the problem. These issues cannot be mended with a “mickey mouse”; problems like these need leaders who are knowledgeable and can think of solutions that will not hurt society in the upcoming

Politics is one area where social media can change the entire country. When social media was introduced in a political candidate, it turned the voting system into a game, as shown by the article Social Media and Politics “As easy as it is for politicians to reach out to voters on sites like Facebook, it is even easier for these online supporters to abandon politicians when the campaign ends”(Social Media and Politics). By this, the author is stating that people who are influenced to vote by social media are likely to stop their support of the candidate after they win. This means that voters no longer care about the long term effect of a vote, after they vote they lose interest.

There are two types of media, and each type has his way to broadcast the information. “These two types are traditional and-social” (Hayles K., 2004). Traditional media includes: radio, magazines, newspapers, television, different publications and so on. Social media is the process of the informational interchange. In recent years, social media became part of everybody’s life. People exchange the information, opinions, news everywhere: in blogs, social networks, forums, etc. People became sources to each other. The importance of social media is rising extremely.

Social Media is an important communication tool via a series of Websites and Applications used by millions of people which facilitates the creation and the sharing of content and information, which allows people to develop contacts and relationships to connect with each other efficiently through modern technology such as computers and mobile phones to fulfil people’s social needs. The “Social,” in Social Media refers to interacting with other people through sharing and receiving information and the “Media,” refers to the instrument of communication e.g. phone. Social Media is important since it has connected millions of people and Social Media is one of the dominant ways we communicate with each other. As of 2017 over 2.8 billion people use Social Media worldwide. It is hard to remember communication prior to the emergence of social media.

Social media has grown at phenomenal rates over the past decade, with its rise being easily visible in several fields such as publishing, business, and activism, among others. The rise of its use in the field of politics is well known by those who are on and off social media, as a result of increasing number of politicians using this global platform to their maximum advantage.
