Election Reflection

My thoughts on this election in general was that it was a very different one than any other elections before. It was different because thorughout the whole election, the republican side was Donald Trump and all he talked about how he would want to get rid of immigrants around the whole country, how he would want to build a wall on the border of Mexico and the U.S., and he also talked bad about women. It was just a different election because I never heard and seen any candidates before that wanted to be president, talk negative. Usually, people of the U.S. want a president that has a positive mindset for the country, the future of our country, and how we would keep America strong and be all united. In the democratic side, Hillary Clinton was trying to help the country to have a bright future and have a better economy and how we would be stronger together, hence her campaign slogan. It was also different from any other elections because during the election season, Hillary was being investigated for emails that were used by her. In my opinion, why would people want a president that either has lawsuits and is negative or is being investigated. This shows us what kind of people we have running for president of our country that will later represent the U.S.

My thoughts on this election was that I was suprised that Donald Trump won the election and would be our next president but other than that I was sad he won and will be president. I was surprised because before he election day, they said Hillary would win due to the poles. I was happy that Hillary might win but then due to the Elctoral College, Trump won the election. I was sad because Trump won and how I might go back to Mexico with my family and wouldnt be able to have better opportunities anymore for my education. Also, because he is a person that talks whatever that comes out of his mouth without thinking, he is just a negative person. I didn't want a person that talks bad about people and was racists because that person will represent our country. I wanted a person like Hillary that had great mindset for the future of the U.S. I really feel like it will take time for America to adjust and be the same diverse country it has always been.


I  would not want to be involved in politics right now but later on in the future, I would like to be more involved in politics because it's important to understand politics because it is part of the U.S. where politician can depend on me. Politician reflects on the U.S. and on us because its a big part where people represent us to have a better country together. In the next election, I will be voting and find it very exiciting because I will be actually voting. I will vote for the best canditate that has a positive mindset and has postive ideas for the future of our country. A big part of me where I'm excited is that when I vote, my vote will be towards someone that will make America a better place and my vote will reflect on the U.S. for the next president for us.


Some issues I think that are important relating to the election is immigration, racism, hate, and economy. These topics were talked about a lot throughout the elections. Immigration is one important issue because Donald Trump wants to stop immigration and build a wall between the border of Mexico and the U.S. In my opinion, why would he want to build a wall? It would take years to be build and he is throwing money away and wasting it. Another issue is racism and hate because Donald Trump doesn't want no one that came from different countries in America. He is racists towards muslims, hispanics, and African Americans. He talks about how he doesn't want them here and how he wants to deport hispanics. A second issue is that economy, which might be the most important one. Hillary and Trump talked about how they both wanted to make America's economy better and wanted to shape up the economy. Overall, I respect our next president which is Donald Trump and I will keep my head up for the next four years until I get a chance to vote.
