1. 2016 Presidential Debate
Brian Ceballo
DeVry University
Both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are going for the
presidential seat at the white house. In this particular debate,
Trump and Clinton were going back and forth about each other's
issues. The true believers have different opinions just like how
the ultimate doubters have different opinions. I believe that
neither of them should become president as they are not
qualified for the job basing it on the knowledge that I have.
There have been many debates over within many decades,
but this tops it all off. Fallows and James (the authors of WHO
WILL WIN?) essentially talk about if the debate should be
going on or not. They said that this could be the biggest event
that people are watching in this life time. They also talk about
past presidential debates like "It’s about the showdown between
Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy in the first debate of their
1960 campaign, which was also the very first nationally
televised general election debate in the United States". They
talk about the past presidential debate because the debate
between Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy was big, but this
one may top it off.
Donald Trump is of course running for president but for
why exactly? How could he run this country if he can’t even run
his own businesses? Trump has filed bankruptcies many times.

2. His first file of bankrupt was in 1991 for the Trump Taj Mahal.
Supposedly, it has been his most painful bankruptcy because he
had to sell a 282-foot yacht and the Trump Shuttle. As Chris
Isidore from CNN said “Trump's first bankruptcy filing was
probably the most personally painful for him. To come up with
the funds he needed, he sold a 282-foot yacht, as well as the
Trump Shuttle, the airline he operated at the time that flew
between Washington, D.C., New York and Boston, according to
media reports at the time.” It is a big deal to have to sell your
own property just to make end meet.
Donald Trump has more bankruptcies that backs up the
fact that he is not fit to be a president. A year after his first
bankruptcy, he filed another one including the Trump Plaza
Hotel in New York, the Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino in
Atlantic City, and the Trump Castle Casino Resort. Chris
Isidore said it best “In less than a year he was back in
bankruptcy court for his other Atlantic City casinos. This
bankruptcy included the Trump Plaza Hotel in New York, the
Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City as well as the
Trump Castle Casino Resort.” He had to give up half his
interest in the New York Plaza to the bank Citibank. But, he
was lucky enough to keep his stake in the casinos. Which goes
back to my question in the previous paragraph, how could
Trump run this country, if he can’t even run his own business?
The answer is, he can’t because he is not fit for the job.
Hillary Clinton has lied numerous times in the past. What
makes you think that she will not lie again? What make you
think that she is lying just to get your vote? Well, Clinton
covered up her husband Bill Clinton’s lie of the terrorist attack
in Benghazi on the anniversary of 9/11. Charles Hurt from the
Washington Times states “Lady Hillary Clinton’s orchestration
of a sprawling and fantastically dishonest cover-up of the
terrorist attack on her State Department consulate in Benghazi
on the anniversary of 9/11 is a clear reminder of just how
totally indifferent the Clintons are when it comes to their
responsibility to the voters they serve, the people they command

3. and the country they represent.” Basically, this lady, Hillary
Clinton, is not to be trusted on any grounds. That is a pretty big
deal to cover up an attack, imagine what else she can cover up.
That being said, I do not think she is fit to become president
either.
It sucks that neither Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton are
fit for the job of being president because they are both the ones
running for the position right now and we, as Americans and
citizens of this country, have to vote for one of them. Or, we
could vote for none. But, the sad part is, we have Trump
believers and we have Clinton believers, so we one of them is
going to get elected, unfortunately. Let’s just hope that we have
to go through another election with different candidates because
this election did not go well.
