Why neither Donald nor Hillary Should Win the Presidency

Donald and Hillary are determined to win the presidency of the United States. This will be decided by the views of Americans themselves about them. Americans have reasons as to why neither Donald nor Hillary should win the presidency.

For Donald Trump

According to the views of Americans, Donald is not popular with college educated voters of whom they are necessary for any candidate to win (Pace & Swanson, np). There is an increased disdain among Americans of various races, location, gender, and political persuasion about Donald. He is being saddled with unpopularity which is now his great setback to win the elections. A bigger percentage of people including his republican voters have the similar unfavorable view about him. He has been rated with unfavorability and this rate has up to 70% and this is according to a new AP/GfK poll (Pace & Swanson, np). This opinion has been shared by majorities including men, women, conservatives, moderates, liberals of all races. Even in regions where he won the GOP primaries, he is still being viewed with unfavorability. Most of his comrades the whites with no college education that are famously known as his loyal voting blocs also have a negative opinion about him. This makes him to be questioned of how he could gather up support to help him win the presidency (Pace & Swanson, np). Due to this perception there are claims that, Trump is at a risk of being denied the nomination because the grassroots party campaigners doubt his capability to win due to the high rate of dislike. Therefore the negative view from his party members makes him to be less trusted as the perfect candidate to effectively compete in the election. Trump also has a negative description as many people described him not to be civil, likeable, and compassionate compared to other competitors against him (Pace & Swanson, np). This does not mean that his rivals are being preferred to him but Donald is being viewed with a high negative perception compared to other competitors.

For Hillary

Hillary as any other candidate intending to win the presidency for white house has views that support and those against her. According to the information released by media, Hillary was published by negative stories that can affect people’s response to vote her (Leopold, np). Firstly, she is always focused on fake scandals than her counterparts. Half of the Americans said that Hillary is not honest. Hillary is also rated with a high rate of being unfavorable just as her counterpart Donald. Hillary is also as more popular among whites than Trump which makes racial and ethnic polarization rise for her. Among white voters, Hillary shows a net negative especially to college educated white women who also have a negative view of her. The media claims that Hillary’s policy and character flaw may let her down creating a gap for the republican candidate to go through (Leopold, np). Americans still hold Hillary‘s previous sins where she supported free trade agreements that made American jobs die off affecting the americans. She was also in favor of the Iraq war which was a misbegotten according to its history (Leopold, np). Hillary compared to her counterpart Trump is less good in dictating engagement terms. This makes it hard for the democrats to stay confident that their candidate will succeed at setting that agenda.  Despite of her strength in her democrat party, those are some of the issues that some people hold to disqualify her from winning.
