Gop Debate Pros And Cons

563 Words3 Pages

Extra Credit: CNBC GOP Presidential Debate CNBC’s GOP Presidential Debate this year was held at the University of Colorado at Boulder, and the moderators focused their questions greatly on the economy, current national budget, tax reforms, immigration policies and their disagreements with the Democratic party. The Republican candidates that participated in this debate included Ohio governor John Kasich, former governor of Arkansas Mike Huckabee, former Florida governor Jeb Bush, Florida senator Marco Rubio, business man Donald Trump, retired surgeon Ben Carson, former HP CEO Carly Fiorina, Texas senator Ted Cruz, New Jersey governor Chris Christie, and Kentucky senator Rand Paul. With tensions growing between candidates and political parties, I feel that the moderators for this debate seemed to personally attack the candidates when questioning their reasoning behind their answers. …show more content…

Majority of the candidates took a different stance, by placing the blame on the Democrats, mainly Obama, for the state of today’s economy. I always find it quite funny when John Kasich attempts to answer any question asked of him, mainly because he normally responds by completely disregarding the question. This might be one of the reason why his poll numbers are so low, and also another reason why he was not fully included into the debate like the rest of his peers. It is obvious from the past two debates that Kasich’s central focus is on balancing the budget and tax reforms, but the other issues still seem to be unclear. In my opinion, both Marco Rubio and Rand Paul have clear plans on what exactly they would do if elected into office, while the others seem to have vague

    The election Gore V. Bush was not legitimate. Both parties used their advantages to the fullest no matter how unfair. For example, when Bushes team found out that there was still 51 counties and Gore was only down by 98 votes, they put the counting to a stand still. Bushes team in a way bought the Florida Legislator for their decision.

    I agree with you, that politician can do much better for the society and fighting against the discrimination and prejudice against a particular group of people. However, politicians have seen more power centered and always seeking a way to getting into the power rather than working and speaking honestly in front of people. Looking at the U.S. presidential campaign 2016, all of these candidates have been talking about different policy issues; however, the U.S. institutions are so strong and president alone might not be able to make huge difference in policy issues. On the other hand, these candidates does not have strong record for fighting in many issues in the past. That’s why, I believe that politicians are very familiar to politicization

    Both the Democrats and the Republicans like to think of themselves as the true heirs of Thomas Jefferson. The modern Democrats are historically descended from the Democratic-Republican Party that Jefferson himself organized to thwart the ambitions of Alexander Hamilton (although, ironically, they were known as "Republicans" in Jefferson 's time). Democrats around the country annually celebrate Jefferson-Jackson Dinners, avowedly declaring a connection between Jefferson and the modern Democratic Party. But Republicans claim that their platform of small government and low taxes is more in line with true Jeffersonian philosophy than that of the big-government Democrats.
