Opinion/Commentary Essay Presidential Election

The Presidential Candidates for the Republican party are, Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, John Kasich are the top three in the runnings right now for this party.

On the other hand the Presidential Candidates for the Democratic Party are Hilary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are the two top runners for this party right now.

In my opinion I like the Candidates from the Republican party more then the ones in the democratic party because of their political views and because of their back ground.

For example, Hilary Clinton role in the U.S. Military intervention in Libya was never really confirmed or denied which males her sorta of a corner cutter in the eyes of some Americans. 

The U.S. Military intervention in Libya happened in 2011which was a all cease fire in Libya including all the current attacks against all the citizens of Libya. This also created a ban of fighting in Libya's air space.

A lot of States were involved in making the no-fly zone space but the main States involved were the United States, United Kingdom, Lebanon, and France. These states worked together to make a no-fly zone over part of Libya and have control over that zone now.

Hilary was involved in this because President Barack Obama sent her to negotiate with Mahmoud Jibril about the military situation in Libya.

Obama sent Hilary to negotiate even against his seniors recommendations to stay out of it, but he still sent Mrs. Clinton over there to talk with Mr. Jibril. 

But also a runner for the Republican Party, Donald trump isn't liked by some of the public because he wants to build a wall along the border of Mexico.

"You have people coming in, not just Mexicans, I'm talking about people from all over that are idlers and rapists and they're coming into this country," Says Trump.

I don't think that we should build a wall on the border of Mexico because i believe that the people that are coming in and mudding people and raping, are not all of the rapist and murders. 52% of rapist are white which prove that building a wall wouldn't stop raping from happening.

I honestly don't really think that there is any people worth being President running in the 2016 election but since Obama has already had 2 terms we need another President to take his place.

Nut Graf

        A Nut Graf is a journalism term that was created from the expression, "in a nutshell" meaning all at once or in one paragraph. This expression was created in the 19th century and has been used since then. In the news style writing and the essential facts of the story are included in the lead of the story.
The Nut Graf is included inside the lead of the story.

      When writing in the feature style the story will start off more indirect and explain something related to the topic. In this type of writing the Nut Graf is most of the time started in the third or fourth paragraph. Also in this type of writing the Nut Graf doesn't include all of the information and will slowly explain the rest of the information through out the story to keep the reader interested through out the whole story.

"Peyton Bellman because she's very kind and helpful to other students." said Richards.

"I make all A's with the exception of 1 B," explains Richards.

"As a teen I don't like school but  everyone should have the opportunity to go to school," confesses Richards.

Studying is a must for Richards before a big test or presentation in any of her classes.

"Yes, I spend at least and hour studying before my test or presentations," Explains Richards.


Richards does not do much outside of school but she does work very hard on her homework, which takes up most of her free time.

"No, but homework does take up a lot of my free time outside of school," Richards explains to the newspaper.

Richards favorite class that she is taking this year is geography.

"Geography, because I like learning about the world," says Richards.

Piano and art are Richards fine arts classes that she likes to take.

"Piano and art because I have a very big imagination."

Richards, because of her amazing grades has a very level GPA.

"My GPA is 4.2," gladly admits Richards.
