Introduction
The question on who is most appropriate to replace Baraka Obama has attracted the attention of many people not only in America but also globally. Markedly, since the 15th march primaries, the battle towards the world’s superpower country have been evident to take shape. Among the many contestants for the November general election are Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. The election is expected to be one of itself from the fact that this time it will involve a female aspirant. Most importantly, it is anticipated to signify a turnaround in the Americas political system. Donald’s popularity in areas such as real estate development is what mostly worries many people since he may use as an added advantage to gain unexpected support. This was even evident during the 3rd march republic primaries (Spitzer-Rubenstein). Ms. Clinton desp
...ite her unpopularity can be considered the favorite candidate for the US next president. This piece of writing therefore seeks to present critical arguments on how Ms. Hillary Clinton will beat Donald trump in the November general elections.
Ms. Clinton’s position in the Obama coalition backs up her chances of being voted the successor to Mr. Obama. She was the former secretary to the state which is a possibility that she may gain significant support enough to put her at presidency. Looking at how Baraka Obama won twice even with decisive majority but his popularity still stands, Ms. Clinton holds high chances of beating Donald Trump. According to a poll conducted in Washington that was posted in the ABC news a few months ago revealed that a considerably large percentage of democrats and independents would vote for Ms. Hillary Clinton rather that
Donald trump (Spitzer-Rubenstein). Such acceptance is however expected to give her considerably a smaller percentage of the total votes something that may expose her to risks from the opposition. Politicians especially in democratic countries always strive to win with a greater margin for fears that the opposition may claim a greater percentage of the congress. If Ms. Clinton therefore wins with a few votes then the chances that the opposition will take a larger percentage of the congress as a backup. It is therefore expected that she will go on the offensive against Mr. Trump.
Furthermore, Trump’s negative image in the society forms a basis for which the Americans will opt to vote in MS. Clinton. The November general elections according to the democrats will be a good opportunity to dig up his negative comments against the Latin American, women and the black-American. Mr. Trump is known to have made negative comments towards non-American. The general election will be the best opportunity for the billionaire to pay for his negative comments against the voters. For instance, according to (Spitzer-Rubenstein), Trump repeatedly regarded the voters as stupid. Moreover, this is seen the only chance by the Americans to attack Mr. Trump for unethical business practices such as unjustified layoffs and overseas manufacturing. It is also during the elections that the voters are expected to condemn Mr. Trump of his court suits, divorces and instances of involvement in racial discrimination. Despite his efforts to cover some of these weaknesses during the 3rd march primaries, they still reckon a common in the minds of the voters. Notably, it is anticipated that democrats will be more than willing to spend
large amounts of funds to attack Trump of his evil deeds. The negative comments against ethnic minorities such as the Latin Americans expectedly will make a significant percentage of such groups reluctant to vote him in for presidency. As matter of fact, the minorities will use such offensive comments to influence democrats in states such as Florida not to vote in Mr. Trump for presidency (Beahm 105). Additionally, Mr. Trump is likely to find it challenging to convince voters in states mostly affected by his unethical business practices such as Michigan believe that he can be the best for the seat. The argument that he only does business to make money and that if voted for president he will be working towards serving the Americans may not sink into the minds of those mostly affected by his questionable business practices. These attacks are expected to influence the decisions of both white Americans and African American voters and even more in south and western regions. Taking into account that the presidential seat solely depends on reaping the majority in the Electoral College, Ms. Clinton would win almost everywhere leaving Trump without any chance to win (http://www.washingtontimes.com).
Mr. Trump’s campaign strategy of attacking Ms. Clinton for her scandals in the 90s is also expected to signify his failure in the general elections.
Probably, Ms. Clinton in her campaign trail will attack Mr. Trump hence it is expected that the opponent will try to fight back through revealing some scandals where Clinton was involved. Expectedly, if Mr. Trump blows up Ms. Clinton’s scandals, it is hoped that such an action will not even make her unpopular but make him more
offensive. Apparently, the impacts of such accusations on Ms. Clinton are clearly foreshadowed by her convictions on handling of Benghazi and her private emails. According to Castillo, Carlos, et al (29), such accusations made things backfire leaving the voters unmoved. It is therefore expected that if Mr. Trump repeats such accusations, he may suddenly heighten his offensive deeds to the society especially among the minorities. Moreover, it is expected that Trumps accusations against Ms. Clinton are likely to blow more than they would have for a male opponent. Most likely, attacking Ms. Clinton will expose his bullying character just as it happened when he attacked Carly Fiorina. Expectedly, any attempts to attack Ms. Clinton will make all the women rally towards her support for presidency just like it happened in 2000 when Rick Lazio pulled down Ms. Clinton during the senate elections (Lichtman 1-224). Here, the attack exposed Lazio’s bullying character making a large percentage of the women to vote in Ms. Clinton for the senatorial seat. Any attempt by Mr. Trump to attack Ms. Clinton is therefore anticipated to backfire his negativity among the voters especially the minority groups. Attacks which Mr. Trump will obviously employ as the key campaign tool against Ms. Clinton will help Ms. Clinton sail through for the presidency seat come the general elections in November.
Conclusion
For many years now the suppression of women against men has continued to be a common norm. It has never been believed that a female candidate can occupy the top most seat of the world’s superpower country. Ms. Hillary Clinton however becomes the first woman to break this norm. In the United States, it is
now the high time for the voters to open up their minds and vote in the best candidate not on the basis of gender but on the basis of actions and manifesto. A close examination between Ms. Hillary Clinton and Mr. Trump therefore puts Ms. Clinton at high chances of succeeding Mr. Obama.
