The upcoming presidential election has been clouded by nothing but disagreements and debate. The unfortunate reality is that people are not taking the election as seriously as they should. The biggest example of this can be seen in a 69 year old man.
Donald Trump is, to say the least, a controversial candidate. Trump started his climb to the top of the election ballots on June 16 and has been going strong ever since. When he first began his campaign, many people went along with it and even supported it all for the sake of a joke.
I have heard many people say that they think Donald Trump is a modern day Ronald Reagan. Both men had an involvement in Hollywood. As far as I am concerned, there is a major difference between them: Reagan had a filter.
Truth be told, the United States has benefitted from Trump running. With his complete lack of filter, Trump brought up important topics that other candidates were too shy to tackle. There is one major problem with not censoring himself: if Trump becomes president there is no doubt that he would get us into World War III.
On a more positive note, he also reeled in viewers and increased the amount of people paying attention to the presidential election. Most importantly, Trump has also made it so that more people will now vote to make sure that he never makes it to the White House.
With a candidate like Trump running for president in the year 2016, the U.S. now more than ever needs someone who has experience in the White House that will be able to keep things from falling apart. When questioning who that person could be, eyes turned to current Vice President Joseph Biden.
Biden has obviously had his fair share of time experiencing the way the White House runs. Being Barack Obama’s vice president for two terms and, on top of that, having a background of 40 plus years in the world of politics, Biden is nothing if not qualified. After declaring that he would not run for president, many began to question America’s fate.
He was surrounded nothing but support from his family and Obama himself in his decision. With Biden out of the race, all we have left to do is wait and see who will trump them all - and hope that it is not Trump himself.
