    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.

Anderson Cooper introduced the candidates as they took the stage - Chafee, O’Malley, Clinton, Sanders, and Webb. As the candidates introduced themselves and Cooper starts the debate with an awesome question to Clinton, “Will you say anything to get elected?” Clinton explains that any changes in her positions have more to do with learning more about the issues and that as a progressive candidate she likes to get things done.

    Tyranny is when the government has absolute power. The government is not allowing Washington D.C. to have proper representation, which in turn is leaving residents paying taxes that they had no vote on. Long ago what is now the United States, was under British control; colonists were taxed without a vote on the taxation, and they fought for their rights. By allowing D.C. to be taxed without a vote, the government is following in the footsteps of those who wronged them. However, taxation without representation is not the only reason that

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).

  • Presidential Primary Process

    The presidential primary process can be more complex than it appears. The primary process is a way for the two main parties, the Republican Party and the Democratic Party, to select their official nominee for the general presidential election from a group of candidates. Each party has their own way of selecting their presidential nominee and their own convention, where the official nominee is announced. Each year states are holding these primary elections and caucuses sooner and sooner in hope of increasing influence in the nomination process; this has created problems and less known candidates are less likely to be nominated. All states and U.S territories hold either a primary election or caucus for both the Democratic Party and the GOP.
