Election 2016

What are your thoughts on this election in general?
      I think that some people are overreacting. Many people who are born in the U.S. keep saying that they're going to get deported. That really bothers me and it's starting to get on my nerves. I'm not trying to sound ignorant, but that's not even a joke. Saying that you're going to get deported even though you're born in the U.S. is not even logical. Just think of the many people who may get deported just because of Donald Trump won the election and what his plans are. Also, many students my age and older, hate on Donald Trump just because other people do. I highly doubt that they actually know what Trump's plans are for our country and his political ideas. Although, I sometimes agree with what many people say about him because Trump is a big mouth and he just makes blurts out some things that offend people. He probably doesn't think twice about what he says.

What are your thoughts on the election results?
      I think that it's whatever. It didn't really matter to me who won. But I also read an article about what Hillary's plan was on college and tuition. This article really persuaded me to want Hillary to win. This article persuaded me because I really care about my future and I really want to go to college, but I worry that I won't have enough for college. Hillary's plans seemed promising and they were well thought out. Although, all politicians say they're going to do this and that, but nothing ever happens.

Some of you will be voting in the NEXT election! Are you excited? Why or why not?
      I'm kind of excited and kind of not. I'm excited that I can finally vote and see what it feels like. I finally can make my own decision. I'm not as excited because what if the people that are running for president aren't the best options? For example, this year I was thinking, "What if I was old enough to vote? Would I?" I was highly debating on whether or not I should vote. I know I should vote, but Trump and Clinton are an embarrassment and just to think that they're going to run our country one day. Also, being able to vote puts a lot of pressure on you. Many people try changing your opinion and some people will push you to vote for who they want, not what you want. I hope that when I'm able to vote, I'll let no one change my opinion and I get to vote for who I want.
