Presidential Candidates

So, by now you might’ve heard about the 2016 Presidential Candidates, either Republican or Democrat. This year, we have two ladies running for office.  Hillary Clinton and Carly Fiorina.

Democrat Party

  • Hillary Clinton (Former U.S Secretary of State)
  • Martin O’Malley (Governor of Maryland)
  • Bernie Sanders (U.S Senator of Vermont)

Republican Party

  • Jeb Bush (Former Governor of Florida)
  • Ben Carson (Neurosurgeon)
  • Chris Christie (Governor of New Jersey)
  • Ted Cruz (U.S Senator of Texas)
  • Carly Fiorina (Businesswoman)
  • Mike Huckabee (Former Arkansas Governor)
  • John Kasich (Governor of Ohio)
  • Rand Paul (U.S Senator of Kentucky)
  • Marco Rubio (U.S Senator of Florida)
  • Donald Trump (Businessman)

Phew! After typing all of those Republican names I can finally relax! Trump is making his way up the polls, but the frontrunner is Hillary Clinton. I hope she wins. No offense to directed towards anyone. Talking or writing about politics is touchy, it’s full of opinions, and that could hurt someone. The only two presidential candidates that were not involved in the government are Donald Trump and Carly Fiorina. The next Republican debate is scheduled for January 14, 2016 in South Carolina. But don’t worry, I’m sure the democrats have one as well! In fact, the next democratic debate is on January 17, 2016. Unfortunately, that is the last debate for the democrats before the Iowa caucuses. The Republicans will squeeze in one more debate on January 28, 2016. The first Republican debate is aired on Fox Business Network, while the second Republican debate will be aired on Fox News. The Democratic debate will be hosted by NBC and the Congressional Black Caucus Institute.  Below are the links to the websites I used for information.
