Hillary's defeat and Trump's win

by Danielle

The 45th Presidential Election is finally over. It was between Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump. The winner was Donald Trump. Trump wants to change some woman's right like if a woman is pregnant and doesn’t want to be they have to go to another country to decline the pregnancy. Trump has also has said very lewd things about women. People are not happy about Trump’s win. There is going to be a women's rights march hosted on January 21, 2017 in Washington D.C. The march is going to be filled with millions of women protesting against Trump about their rights. This is not the first protest against trump there have many more this is just the biggest one. People might ask “If people are doing so much protesting against Trump how did he win?” The answer is Trump didn’t win in the popular vote. The popular vote is each single person’s vote. But what matters is the Electoral College vote. Here is how it works. Each state gets a number of votes based on its population. It is up to a legislator chosen from that state to give in the votes. The candidate that gets to 270 electoral votes first is President. People think this is very unfair. Donald Trump is our President and we must live with it and think the best of it.

The Race for the White House

We are in the middle of the 2016 election. This is a very interesting election, because there are pros, and cons, to each candidate, some are more clear than others. West Virginia voted May 3rd, and on the republican side Trump wins with 61 votes. Cruz is in second with 22 votes and Kasich comes in last with 14 votes. On the democrat side Sanders wins with 45 votes and Clinton follows with 37.  I am surprised that Donald Trump has so many consistent votes. He says offensive things that undermine lots of people’s beliefs. Let’s see what the Heathcote Herald staff  thinks of the candidates!

The Election 2016

By: Bora, Joning, and Ronald

Who are you voting for in the election? The most popular people right now in the primaries are Hillary Rodham Clinton and Donald John Trump. The two parties in the election are the Democrats and the Republicans. The Republicans have conservative ideas. Conservatives are against Planned Parenthood and they also are against illegal immigration. Trump is winning for the Republicans, while Hillary Clinton is winning for the Democrats. Democrats are liberal. They believe in having gun control and they want looser border control. Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders is a moderately socialist liberal and Texas Senator Ted Cruz is an extreme conservative. The state with the most available delegates is Texas. This gives Ted Cruz a large advantage because there are 222 delegates in Texas. Marco Rubio also has an advantage because he is a Florida senator and Florida has 214 delegates. Another advantage Marco Rubio has is that Jeb Bush quit the election. We wonder who you are voting for! (Because we can’t vote!)
