It's election time in the United States in March 2016. The Primary Election is where US citizens elect a certain politician to be president of the country every 4 years before a presidential candidate is elected. Voters come in droves and crowds to vote for their desired politician as the elected official to become president of the United States. This years primary election took place in the state of Iowa. The 2 big political parties in the United States now are the Democratic Party and the Republican Party.
Chaos, confusion, publicity, media coverage, controversy, and other political hijinks have ensued. Voters have become more persistent as the election season heats up!
Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, and O’Malley were the Democratic candidates for the Iowa Primary Elections of 2016.
Donald Trump, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, and Ben Carson were the Republican candidates for the Iowa Primary Elections of 2016.
The 2016 year primary election took place in the state of Iowa. For many years now, Iowa has been the state where the primary elections were hosted as politicians to promote their campaigns at for many years now. Many caucuses are held there to determine a leader for each political party. Many politicians run for president over there.
Hillary Clinton won by 10 points in Iowa State as she did in Michigan. Hillary made history in Iowa. She had lobbied and campaigned in order to get the vote. The mass promotion with her presidential campaigns on the addition of overall hype are what led people to vote for Hillary Clinton. Mainly her beliefs from her liberal politics led her to gain the vote. Hillary Clinton has beaten Bernie Sanders by many votes in many states.
Donald Trump won many votes for his presidential campaign within the state of Iowa due to his conservative politics along with support from the GOP. The GOP support is what led Donald Trump to gain more massive votes over Hillary Clinton. He is now in the lead against Hillary Clinton! He has more support over her party.
Bernie Sanders won from 10 points to 16 points with additional support from the Democratic Party of the United States in the beginning. Bernie Sanders however lost by 2 points at the end despite massive support from the Democratic Party and liberal voters on the political spectrum as Bernie Sanders was losing by 20 the week before, but he did good as was the case in Michigan. Now Bernie Sanders gained a political increase in votes from 47.3% to 52.6%!
Marco Rubio on the other hand has gained more votes for being in the Republican Party caucus. He is behind Ted Cruz in votes. Rubio won in states such as Florida and Texas due to lukewarm support from the GOP.
Ted Cruz won states, and Rubio won one. Bernie Sanders won four states and Hillary Clinton took the rest as expected. This all happened on Super Tuesday!
The Democratic Party caucus is open and the Republican Party caucus is open as well when voters arrive to vote for their desired elected official to become president of the United States. Many caucuses are held to determine a leader for each political party. Each voting precinct gets a number of caucus delegates based on how big the voter was during the last two elections were. The caucus will then determine an appropriate candidate for a leader. The primaries are the most important day of their political careers.
When voters arrive to go to one of those precincts, the voters will first go into a corner based on their candidate or candidates. If a candidate doesn’t get more than 15% of voters in their corner for the votes, then those voters are free to go home. The other candidates will try to grab these voters. This political method is a result of the usual lobbying by lobbyists, candidates, and politicians. This political method is mainly how lobbyists begin persuading voters to elect them to be in a position of political power.
As always, representatives shout last-minute arguments to try to get voters in to vote for certain politicians. The gist is the same for political parties represented. The Republican Party voters side is a bit easier to get people show up as results from news media reported. As opposed to the Democratic Party voters side where less people show up to vote despite increasing votes for that political party. Both Democrats and the Republicans are both offering high exceptions to active voters who have participated whether you have voted for Donald Trump or Bernie Sanders.
Please have a good reason for why you support either of them politicians. You owe it to everyone, yourself, and your country to stay informed as a responsible citizen of any country.
