Trump Card: The development of an unpopular election The election of 2016 has not been very unpopular. The division between parties have never been so real, and voters are either voting for one candidate in spite of the other or not voting at all. To the average American, it feels like they will be either voting for a racist, or a criminal. The unpopularity of the current candidates has many question how they even were able to get this far. This year's unpopular election is the cause of the recession, division, greed, and overall frustration of the American people. Near the 2008 recession, a new face showed himself in hope of a better economy. Barrack Obama promised "Hope and Change" to the American people. After charming a nation, he was able to run two terms as the president of the united states. It is now 2016 and there still is mass poverty, still violence in the middle east, and still immigration problems on the border. Though generally still popular, Obama has left the voters unsatisfied, leaving the republican party and chance to come in and satisfy. The Republican party has been too divided and inconsistent, to get anything done. With the general disappointment of Obama's run, the American people entrusted the republican party to change something. The republicans were able to get the majority in the House of representatives, but with Obama fighting back they were unable to do what they were elected for. So the people vote in more republicans to have majority over the senate as well, and still the republicans were unable to get anything done. When the primary's started there was already infighting between the candidates. During the debates a candidate or two would mention how they cannot be divided if the party is going to win the election. Trump on the other hand wanted and took advantage to the division. He instigated the arguments between candidates, and fueled the infighting. Trump almost never had the majority in the polls, but since the republicans were so divided, He still had the biggest percentage. On top of all the bureaucracy and division, Trump is promising simple and instant solutions. Illegal immigration has been a topic in America for some time now. The situation is filled with complications, and there are multiple views on how it should be handled. There are criminals, coming over the border, killing and selling drugs to Americans. But there are also those who are simply looking for a better life. Many of the immigrants have found their place and even pay taxes, oddly enough. As others argue and try to figure how they want to deal with the situation, Trump gives a simple answer, "build a wall". This simple clear cut answer is attractive to Americans who are tired of, the indecisiveness of the government. Not only did he have a clear message, the news loved him as well. Trump is similar to that one bad guy in the TV show "big brother". Not very many people seem to like him, but he is so entertaining to watch and here about, you can't help to watch. Trump used that to his advantage. Free publicity, is what he got whenever he said any thing outrageous, or offensive. People where talking about him, and wanted to know what he was going to do next, and with the demand, the news media supplied. The more questions they asked, the more speeches they aired, the more viewers the media obtained and the more publicity trump gained. This would be any third parties chance to run for president. The republicans and Democrats have come to the point where they cannot get anything done together. The majority of Americans do not want Trump as their president, and the Majority of Americans do not want Hillary as their president. If a third party candidate appeared, he/she would surely have a chance
