The two major political party candidates from the election of 1988 is George Bush and Michael Dukakis. The political positions that the candidate George Bush held before seeking presidency was being a vice president for President Ronald Reagan and for Dukakis he was a governor for Massachusetts. The more liberal candidate was Dukakis because he was a democrat and the more conservative was Bush because he was a republican. Dukakis was more challenged by people in his own party during the primary election because the democrats thought that their party would need to win it all also they refused renomination. Since the Democrats had lost the 1984 presidential election, the Democrats in 1985 and 1986 were happy to find a new way to win the presidency.
The turmoil, upheaval, and controversy of the 2016 Trump election is a significant current event of the modern world, but this landslide election is not the first in America’s history to raise such conflicting opinions. The Revolution of 1800 was another shift in political history that impacted not only the candidates, but majority of the public. The defeat of John Adams to Vice President Thomas Jefferson led to the rise of the Democratic-Republican Party rule and the eventual demise of the Federalist Party. Often in politics, opposing views, scandals, and negative publicity plays a role in the election process, due to this, in both the 2016 election and 1800 election negative criticism from both parties was evident. The 1800 and 2016 elections
The presidential election of 1800 presented strong candidates on both side, each uniquely qualified for the position and prepared to lead the United States in very different ways. The Federalists and the Democratic-Republicans both possessed strong campaigns with good arguments to sway voters to their side, however, almost every positive campaigning tactic meant to promote their party’s candidate was met with slandering of some kind from the other side. The dilemma of every voter at the time was to choose between a strong government to protect them, or choose to protect themselves. This was the dilemma of Timothy Tisdale. As said by Joanne Freeman, author of a published article on the election, “The presidential election of 1800 was an angry,
I am going to write about the election of 1896. was a competition between the Republican William Mckinley, and Democrat-Populist William J. Bryan. The election took place on November 3, 1896, and was claimed to be a very dramatic, and complex campaign (also expensive) in American History. They saw that Republican William Mckinley had won the election against William J. Bryan. William Mckinley had a shocking electoral vote of 271, while William J. Bryan only had 176 electoral votes.
In the presidential election of the year 2000, George W. Bush only got 49.7% of the popular votes versus Al Gore having procured 48.4% of the popular votes, but Bush still won the election based on the number of electoral college votes (Bush got 271, and Gore got 266). However, there was a debacle over who got Florida's 25 electoral votes, and that led to the court case Bush vs Gore in which Bush was the victor. Bush and Gore, despite opposing each other during the election, can be compared and contrasted in many ways, including their personal lives, their backgrounds, and their politics. Born on July 6, 1946 in New Haven, Connecticut,
Throughout United States history there have been several influential Presidents. Many modern day Presidents such as Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagen and Barack Obama, have made remarkable impacts on society. They have worked and created programs to positively affect our nation. Some of these actions include the Family and Medical Leave Act, Violence Against Women Act, minimum wage increase, Tax Reform Act of 1986, Environmental Protection Agency, deregulation, SDI, Affordable Care Act, and the Dont Ask, Don't Tell Repeal Act of 2010. These are just a few of numerous actions/programs these men enacted.
I agree with you, that politician can do much better for the society and fighting against the discrimination and prejudice against a particular group of people. However, politicians have seen more power centered and always seeking a way to getting into the power rather than working and speaking honestly in front of people. Looking at the U.S. presidential campaign 2016, all of these candidates have been talking about different policy issues; however, the U.S. institutions are so strong and president alone might not be able to make huge difference in policy issues. On the other hand, these candidates does not have strong record for fighting in many issues in the past. That’s why, I believe that politicians are very familiar to politicization
Bush v. Gore The presidential election that took place on November 7, 2000, was so close that no one knew for more than a month who had won the election of 2000 the Governor of Texas George W.

With the ending of Cruz's career and the imminent defeat of Sanders, both Clinton and Trump stand to be the presumptive party nominees once all of the delegates have been assigned and the conventions begin to plan ahead. This years election is unique in how the general public view both candidates. Donald Trump has the support of millions in the country, getting behind his conservative stance on many issues. Clinton seems to be the less popular of the two between her and Bernie Sanders, yet has the political experience and savvy needed to push her more liberal policies through. In short, the end of the year is going to be interesting.
The United States Presidential election that took place in the year 2000 was between George Bush and Al Gore. The vote was very close and it ended up all coming down to Florida. Once the votes were counted and it was revealed that Bush had won, Gore wanted a recount of the votes. The matter was taken to the Florida supreme court and Gore ended up winning the case.
I personally feel I am more of a Democrat than a Republican. American Politics The two major political parties of the United States are the Democrats and the Republicans. There are also third parties such as the Constitution party, the Green party, the Independent party, and the Libertarian party. The Democratic and the Republican Party constantly compete with each other trying to promote their political ideals and searching the means for maintaining their continuous political leadership.
The United States presidential election is extremely important for all citizens and even immigrants. We have two main candidates running for the 2016 election, the Republicans have Donald Trump , and the Democrats have Hillary Clinton. When considering who one wants to elect we must be educated and aware of policies and a variety of issues, such as immigration, the candidate may want to change if elected into office.

Hillary Clinton would have won the election based on the popular votes. From the 2016 US election results, Hilary has 574,064 votes more than Donald Trump. The Electoral College votes can be an unfair advantage due to some of the states having small numbers of electoral votes. Donald Trump conquered states, like Alaska, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming with 3 electoral votes and much more that have less than 10 electoral votes. This situation has happened 4 times in elections, such as during the year 2000, Al Gore had half a million popular votes than George W. Bush, but he lost due to electoral votes.
Republicans vs. Democrats When the United States of America was founded, George Washington warned against the formation of political parties. By the time the second election came around there were already two political parties, the Federalist and Democratic-Republicans. These parties eventually turned into the Republican and Democratic parties we have today. While these parties have shifted to become almost polar opposites politically, they still share some common goals.
