Question

In these 5 or so weeks, students have come across many traits, both good and bad, that define presidents. How do you personally balance all of these traits as you consider who to vote for? Are these traits even considerations? Do you have your own set of criteria? If so, why? Has anything you have read thus far in this class made you consider who you might consider potential candidates for one of the most important, if not the MOST IMPORTANT, office in the world?

Maybe it's time to consider a third party candidate. This is the very reason when, early on during the Republican debates, the question continued to be asked, "Will you vote for the parties nominee?" In other words, if Donald Trump lost, would he create a third party, thus splitting the party and ostensibly handing the election to Hillary Clinton, the presumed Democratic candidate.

Answer 1

While choosing a President, we need to keep in mind the core ethics and values that drive the crux of the position. He should engulf the moral values of honesty, humility morality, compassion, consideration and empathy. He should keep the nation move towards higher altitudes with his proactive engagements and work. You should never vote for the party, but for the face of it. You should vote for the one who will represent the nation in front of the world. He has to have all the qualities of a great leader and lead the nation to prosperity. I do aim to become a leader representing my country in the UN. I am working hard for it. Let us see where it all goes.
