Reflection:
I thought the election as a whole was totally different than past elections. It seemed as if the tactics changed from fighting to be the most notable candidate to how can I downgrade the other. The debates couldn't really be called debates, rather arguing and changing questions to pin other candidates down. I'm sure debate teams in high schools across the country were watching in perplexity. Media has so much influence upon a people also. Wether good or bad media, media puts candidates in the spotlight. I noticed everyday there was something on the news about Trump. This is one of the first times in history where we couldn't really tell either of the candidates true plans for the country, seemed as if instead of giving out what they were trying to accomplish for the country they would think of what can we say that might intrigue or rial up people to pay attention to my campaign. We'll see how the future turns out with the election. Always hope for the best for this great country!
