And Our 45th President Is....

Every four years in November, our nation comes together to select a leader of the United States of America. This day is known as "Election Day". This election day was very distinct from other election days in the past. This was because it was between two candidtaes who are polar opposites. The Democratic candidate was Hillary Clinton. She has a very renowned resume. From serving as a Senator of New York, to serving as our 42nd First Lady, Clinton has plenty of experience with serving as a public figure. The Republican candidate was Donald Trump. Once a dominant entrepreneur known around the world, Trump has shifted his career goals and now wants to run the country.

Right before Election Day, Clinton was the favorite to become the 45th President of the United States. However, the people of the United States thought otherwise. Donald Trump was seleted to become our 45th President of the United States. Although Clinton won the popular vote, Trump took home the electoral college. Now that election day is over, Trump has much to look forward to. His Inauguration into the office of the White House will be on January 20, 2017. I wish Donald Trump and his cabinet the best of luck to Make America Great Again!

  1. Nice blog entry on the controversial election! I think that your definition of "Democratic" here is not what you want to describe a member of the Democratc Party. Republicans believe in democracy too. Your conclusion seems to be your grammar point, but you haven't given your students anything to do.
