The election is quickly approaching and in the past week the polls have become more tight than they were throughout the entire month of October. Some polls were showing that Clinton was ahead by 10-12 points and now only leads by 4-6. And all of the talk and drama over the past several months is becoming more and more real as we recognize that either Clinton or Trump will be running our country in a short matter of time.
The New Yorker discussed this past week which candidate has better moral character. Something that you would think would be important as America evaluates a new president and would be reflected in the polls. Most say that Hillary is more suitable in the area of moral character over Trump. And many that have issues with Hillary have more issues with Trump. So how will Trump finish out this last week to convey his character and use rhetoric that may sway those last minute deciding voters?
The statement that has blew up this week has been Trump’s statement on World War III. “You’re going to end up in World War III over Syria if we listen to Hillary Clinton,” he said. Regardless of the public’s thoughts on Clinton, Trump, the military, or foreign countries… this is going to leave people thinking as no one wants a world war to happen.
Not only does he discuss World War III, but says that if he would have been President when Bush was that Humayan Khan would be alive. This was an interesting statement to take a jab at Bush, because many of Bush’s loyal supporters probably plan to vote for Trump. Trump’s rhetoric in the past week continues to reflect his arrogance and aggressiveness that does not reflect a person of moral character.
With a week left, I would like to think Trump may want to clean up his act at least for the sake of guaranteeing the Republican votes, as he can’t afford to lose anymore. Minimal controversial comments or topics that question his character would be what loyal Republicans are hoping for this week, but as we have seen in the past, Trump’s rhetoric is quite the wild card.
