With less than a month to go before the U.S 2016 Presidential
Elections, one thing is perplexing to me. I have no idea why the 2016
presidential race is so close! I just don’t get it!
All indications I had seen and read have Hillary Clinton between
4 to 9 percentage points in front of her rival Donald Trump. I have no idea why
it’s so close. Donald Trump inexperience as a politician has clearly been shown
in this election. He doubled-down when he should have retreated; made fools of
the U.S media who then promptly attacked him; and then peddled half-truths and
lies thinking no one would check and call him out on them.
Considering the number of mistakes he had made in this presidential
campaign, by all rights Hillary Clinton should be heading to a landslide. Yet
somehow, Trump is still within striking distance of her. Why? I don’t know what’s
going on in America but from the outside looking in, this should be a
no-contest. Even without his missteps, Hillary Clinton is clearly the more
experienced, able, and capable of the two.
This should be an easy decision, yet if the polls are to be
believed, Americans are spilt between the two. Why? I just don’t get it.
