Commentary on U.S. Government

Our government is about to experience a great deal of change dependent on the result of the 2016 Presidential election. Many people consider what would happen to the United States if Donald Trump won, of those people, specifically the ones that do not support Trump, don't feel optimistic about the future of our country. There is a great fear of retrogression that surrounds Trump's campaign including his plans for policy changes, Trump's foreign policy being one of the more concerning issues. On the other hand, Hillary Clinton struggle to gain the support and trust of those that don't follow her, due to her involvement with scandals in the past as first lady to Bill Clinton and the "email" scandal. Some people see this as a choice between two evils and deciding which candidate is the worse of the two evils. Either way, our country will be going through drastic changes whether Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump wins the presidency. Especially regarding policy changes, whether it is public, foreign, or commerce policy. With the recent Brexit, how will that markets change? How will trade change? Then there is the Syrian Refugees issue. Many believe that it will make the U.S. look bad if Donald enforces his policy of refusing refugees during such a somber crisis. Another issue that the U.S. Government has been facing for a couple years now is Congress and the strong gridlock it has found itself in. Will Hillary or Trump be able to break this gridlock or will one of them simply make it worse? With this being one of the most interesting presidential races, our country is in for big changes and one can only hope that they will turn out for the better.
