Presidential elections are normally a big deal in the United States. However, the 2016 election may be the most important election in American history. Times are changing, and with that comes a great responsibility in who the people choose to elect. I, for one, am intrigued with who the people of our country will choose this election season.
Our country is plagued by terrorism, plummets in the economy, the concern for global warming and many other afflicting issues. While such issues were at play during previous presidential elections, they are a tremendous problem today. With each growing conflict our country faces, the more we need a leader who will guide us onto the right track. Some say that will be Democratic nominee Hilary Clinton, others say it will be Republican nominee Donald Trump. Whomever the general public chooses, they must be able to fulfill the needs of our country in conflict.
Our country needs a president who will cease the tensions brewing with other countries. With the Islamic State group constantly threatening our nation, we need a leader who is going to protect the country from such threats. Our president will need to enact a strong healthcare plan that is applicable for everyone who needs it. With controversy with the environment taking effect, we will need a president who is willing to take action on that issue. Not to mention the appointment of new Supreme Court officials who will direct our country in a positive way. Senior Ryan Shuring shares my belief regarding this election.
“This election is the most vital in our history. Granted this is something we have all heard before, it could not be closer to the truth. The Supreme Court hangs in disarray and the next president will have direct say over not just the next 4-8 years, but 40 years in regards to the direction this country moves. The founding principles of this great nation are under attack, and the voters have great responsibility in deciding what they think America should represent and stand for in the future.”
Will it be Trump? Or will it be Clinton? Right now, with our country on the verge of a major crisis, whoever fulfills the seat of president of the United States must be ready to soothe the tensions throughout the nation. They must have a solid plan and a strong head on their shoulders. Otherwise our country could endure an internal downward spiral. Our next president must work dutifully and efficiently to shape America into a country that Americans can be proud of.
