You know what I see when I walk onto my high school campus in the morning? Trump caps. So many boys wore red caps with Trump's political slogan on it to school day. I had at least one boy in each of my classes who had one. Although discerning, it is kind of appropriate, since today is Election Day. It is time for all those ages eighteen and up to vote for their next President.
After the major escalation of this presidential campaign, with the media, Hillary's email investigation by the FBI, and the heated debates, to this voting period, tensions are high. Someone at my high school jokingly vowed to strangle themselves to death if Trump wins. Although that student was joking, others have declared that the next President will affect their decision to either leave or stay in the country. I am sure half of those people are joking, but I am also sure that some people are crazy enough, or hate one person enough, to start a new life in foreign land just to get away from whatever chaos the President will have in store for us. My history teacher urged my class, "Don't let that one person have that big of an impact on your daily lives and happiness, because they don't." However wise and true that is (because as you can see, people are still smiling with their friends when people were killed in Haiti), there is no doubt that if the United States weakens even more economically, gets even deeper into war with Isis, or builds a nice new wall bordering Mexico, people are going to scream like hell. With people trying to decide who is the lesser of the two evils, which is really hard to decide, this voting period is slowly going by. I have been tracking it through Google, and as of right now, Trump got trumped on the lead for 270 electoral votes, with Hillary beating him 44:31; the Democrats are also leading in U.S. Senate seats 40:35.
Who will win?
It is an amazing feeling to see an election in progress, from start to finish. First it began with an inkling of who the candidates will be. I heard word of Trump deciding to run here, and a word about Hillary's email scandal there. Then those two subjects got blown out of proportions and splattered the news for a long time. And then the debates happened. And then the media happened. And now the voting begins. And the question will finally be answered: Who will win?
