The political fight between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton has not begun, but the world has begun witnessing the prelude to the fight. Observers say that Bernie Sanders can n longer make the maths to displace Clinton as the Democratic Party nominee to slug it out with Trump in the general elections.
If observers' observation is correct, two New Yorkers will be asking Americans to make either of them chief executive officer in the country. They have started, but we a re yet to witness the nitty-gritty of the duel.
What has made the anticipated fight more attractive is that it involves not just only two new Yorkers, but the two is male and the other is female. The male has already accused the female of playing the women card and the female has intensified her playing of the card, while the man has taken the fight to her, saying that she is a better politician to take care of the women's cause, with innuendo about the past acts of Clintons as husband and wife - an area most Americans, including the media, say should be no go area in political campaigns. But that logic seems to belong to the past.
On Monday, the talk show on the Conservative media was about a New York Times publication, detailing Trumps past girlfriends, who talk about how Trump had mistreated in the past. But one of the women has spoken out against the Times' publication, accusing the Times of inaccuracy and failure to abide with a promise given her that Times' would not quote her out of context, prior to her granting Times the interview. quote usage and misuse is a tough issue in Journalism classes. By this development of a woman, coming out to question Times' professionalism, out of eight women interviewed, shows how the media has inserted itself in the ensuing fight between two new Yorkers.
This is not unexpected. Trump represents the Republican Party, mostly conservatives, and Clinton represents the Democratic Party, mostly liberals. And the New York Times is the leader of the liberal media. When you go to college here, the first lesson learned is about how the liberals control the media and how the conservative media fight to counter the liberal media, though the conservative media are few compared to the large liberal media presence. America is also a liberal country. and new York is the capital of everything from Media to Capitalism. This may the reason that Trump has been facing challenges of being a quasi-Conservative from those who consider themselves true conservatives.
Listening to discussions in the public, you get to know why many Americans love Trump and Clinton and why their numbers are low in probity. Yet, the two have emerged or are emerging as their party nominees. Trump is as considered vulgar against anyone who goes on attack against him, not just women. He considers everyone, male and female as equal in responses to attack against him. But Clinton and the liberal media in playing the women card wants to tag him as only derogatory against women, against Jeb Bush's accusation that the guy called Trump is just insulting and that he cannot insult his way into presidency. And they are making things difficult for Trump that reason. Of course, Trump has the issue of the Trump University, as a source of money without consideration for students, based on news reports, to clear.
For Clinton, many people are saying she is not trustworthy. They talk about her response in her handling of the Benghazi attack on the Americans, and the issue of the personal email server as secretary of state has added to her burden. This is not talking about the fact that she is frequently reported to be under investigation for the personal email server and the Clinton Foundation involvement. Many people are saying that may be if Clinton had not served as secretary of state, the burden about personal email server would not become a burden for her, and that regrettably, her role as secretary of state that supporters in her party are citing as her source of experience has become the source of her most burdensome hurdle.
Aside from these negative elements that the two aspirants would have to overcome to be president, it is clear that as New Yorkers, both have proved how New Yorkers are achievers through hard work. When the going got tough in the White House for Clinton as a First lady, she refused to go down with the husband over the Monica Lewinsky's case and the resultant impeachment of her husband, Bill Clinton, from the White House. But both got out of the White House, from where Clinton headed to the Senate and where she began her aspiration for the White House. She lost to Barack Obama in 2008, but that did not stop her aspiration. she believes in her own words that if you are hard working and you respect the law, the sky will be the limit for you as an American.
Trump has not only shown to demonstrate the spirit of hard work as a New Yorker by his rise in business after succeeding his father in the family's business, he has also shown by his defeat of 16 aspirants in the Republican Party by dint of hard work that hard work pays. Aside from hard work, Trump has shown he is flamboyant, has charisma and guts. His guts have become problematical for his gains from charisma. Observers believe that it is the frequent demonstration of his guts that has constituted great opposition to him in his party, rather than his flamboyancy and charisma. Yet, for New Yorkers, many people believe that having more than average guts is necessary to push through the mental wall of restriction that laziness and quietness constitute in jumping the hurdle to become notable in a fierce competition.
All people here seem to know about both candidates' marital woes, one outside the office of the president and the other, while in the White House with her husband, and that one case is weightier than the other in public view, though the woman was not the cause of her marital woes. But the question many people are asking is whether Americans have forgiven enough to allow their former president return to the White House as the First Man, given the memory of the event that led to his ousting from the same house as president. It is why many people are saying that these election campaign by two New Yorkers, who are vying for the White would be the toughest Americans may have to witness.
