Although she claims she is more qualified than anybody to attain the presidency, Mr. Trump is proving it doesn’t matter how qualified you are to compete in this contest.

His visibility as an entertainer has given himself a definite strength in pure recognition that is beyond any candidate ever seen in politics.

To his adversaries, Trump’s response further proves their point he 's “temperamentally unfit” to be the President of the United States. For his supporters and the multitude of neutral independents, it matters less what Trump says when countering attacks.

Experts had believed that the political parties were solely responsible for choosing their candidate but as we see, in this election it seems as if it is the other way and that Donald Trump had chosen the republicans. It would be believed that Hilary Clinton should be dominating in the polls due to her political experience and Donald Trump's lack thereof, as well as his erratic behavior, but this isn't the case necessarily. The gap between them has narrowed considerably after the conventions as well as the debates, even though she still leads in the polls in the swing states such as Ohio and Pennsylvania, as well as the national polls.
