Perspectives on the 2016 Presidential Candidates

   
     With the pressure from the media around this upcoming election there are many opinions and thoughts towards the two candidates, however, Chadron High School's U.S. Government teacher Craig Nobiling hopes to share his unbiased thoughts to help others develop opinions on the candidates.
      This year's election is a pairing between the Rebuplican candidate Donald Trump and the Democrat candidate Hilary Clinton. This year many people, including Nobiling, say that it is a year of "choosing the lesser of two evils where you can't find which is better in that regard."
     Nobiling said, "This is definitely a unique election. I think something that started out as a joke on the Republican side of trying to find someone who is so outspoken or so outlandish that it would shock the Democrats, became a reality"
     Nobiling said, "Hilary Clinton, former Secretary of State, former Senator, certainly presents herself as more presidential in front of the camera. It's unfortunate about her past, but the public can get over her past by her being delightful and some of the decisions she has made."
     This election is believed to be so much different than other elections and by many, including Nobiling, to hopefully just be "a memory for future generations and just be a blip on the radar if we can get through the next four years with little to no issues." But this election will also be so much different because of the massive amount of publicity. According to CNN this election is the most televised of any campaigning up to date.
     Nobiling hopes that this election will provide insight to the younger generations who are getting to voting age to care more about politics and start to pay attention to who is being chosen to run our country, and the actual policies that are being campaigned by either side of the campaign.
     "I believe it is the middle ground. The non-Democrats and non-Republicans are the ones these two candidates are going to have to entertain, per say, to win this election, and whoever can do this will inevitably take the lead and win the election," says Nobiling.
