U.S: The enthralling presidential race (1)
SIR: Predictably, the next President of the United States this Fall will be Hillary Rodham Clinton. The road to Golgotha is always thorny; the path to the White House has never been easy in the United States. It has always been a rumble-tumble to victory for the previous successful candidate. That is what makes an American president thick and respected in the domestic and international arena.
All Presidents of the United States have different temperaments to address issues that are germane to the U.S. Hillary Clinton brings to table her experiences in domestic and foreign affairs with facts and figures. She is a policy wonk. She knows policy inside out. She marshals questions with very simple and commanding answers. She looks very smart and presidential and seems very ready from day one to be president.
I trust the judgment of the American people. The then Senator Barack Obama looked vulnerable in 2008, but the extraordinary judgment of the American people brought Obama to the White House. The quintessential Obama and his achievements in the last seven years, in spite of the Republican party, speak volumes as one of the best presidents in the United States’ history.
In the last Democratic presidential Town Hall meeting by CNN in Iowa, Hillary Clinton looked presidential with her forceful but subtle sense of discourse. Her extemporaneous elocution, impregnated with confidence and experience in the Town Hall meeting will definitely be sending jitters into the spine of GOP party. This resourceful woman is ready to be president.
As the die is cast, Donald Trump is trumping GOP’s establisment with his daydream government of exclusion, his endorsement from Sarah Palin is comic relief in the marketplace.
Ted Cruze is cruising haphazardly in his evangelical voyage to the amazement of the swing voters and other independent American voters. Ted Cruz is the most scorned senator in the Senate house. Republican and Democratic establishments hate Ted Cruze for his uncompromising stance on national and international issues. He is an expert at filibustering the legislative procedures in the Senate. He single-handedly helped to shut down U.S. government in 2013.
Marco Rubio, the son of Immigrant has been so disappointing. His rabble rousing and flip flopping on issues like immigration are not working for him amongst the conservatives. His misplaced elocution and disrespect for President Obama are his deadliest shortcomings. Rubio has alienated himself from the moderate and the independent voters.
In this troubled world, Dr. Ben Carson, a world acclaimed neurologist and a gentleman; a man with benevolent demeanors that cast him as an outcast on his gaffes on foreign affairs. His greatest undoing was his uncomplimentary comments on Muslims and the African Americans. Unlike President Obama, the brilliant doctor got it all wrong to be the U.S. president.
