US presidential election: Final analysis and predictions
It is just 47 hours away (when writing this report) before the all-important Presidential Election in the USA takes place. According to all major national polls, both the frontrunners of the two parties: Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are neck to neck and at this point it seems like it is a dead heat.
Although Hillary might have slight edge, but those slight points of lead is nothing when the voting results of the swing states would be declared. This year’s election has become even more unpredictable due to a number of reasons: both the candidates have a high percentage of unfavorable rating, both are unpopular in many swing states, and we see a plethora of undecided voters. Even some loyal Republican voters are hesitating to vote for Trump because of his sexually assaulting remarks towards the women found in a 2005 leaked video tape. On the other hand, the FBI reopening of Hillary’s email investigation has come as a great shocker for the Democratic camp. Some loyal democratic fans also believe it was a great mistake from the part of Hillary to inappropriately deal her email server. She has lost tremendous credibility on the issue of her improper handling of emails while serving at the public office. Therefore, both the candidates have their share bit of disadvantages attached with their names and it would be interesting to see who finally triumphs.
[The FBI lifted the threat on Sunday that Hillary Clinton could face charges over her emails, leaving White House rival Donald Trump to demand that US voters punish her at the ballot box. With just one full day of campaigning left before Election Day, FBI Director James Comey unceremoniously closed down his probe into the former secretary of state’s private server.]
Now let us analyse — Hillary Clinton. She has the power of the mainstream media and the Wall Street. All the noteworthy celebrities who have huge fan base have openly declared their support to her. In addition, as far as her email and Benghazi issues are concerned, no direct misdeed or involvement by Hillary has yet been unearthed through the investigation. Moreover, we all know that a person is innocent until proven guilty by the court of law. So American people should give the benefit of doubt in favor of Hillary, that is what many rational thinkers and far left observers believe. Not only that, her thirty-year political career has never been controversial. She tried to help women and children getting health insurance when she was a senator in New York. As a first lady, she helped creating new laws in family planning, family care and adoption. When she was the Secretary of State for the Obama administration, she was actively involved in the operation and the killing of Bin Laden.
However, when it comes to Donald Trump, same cannot be said. He did not disclose his tax file return and it has raised many eyebrows. He claims himself as a successful business tycoon but his casinos, airlines, vodka, university, steak and many other giant business ventures were not successful. He had to file for bankruptcy many times. And, from the very beginning of his Presidential campaign, he has been making headlines one after the another through controversial comments. He made derogatory remarks against Muslims, Mexicans, Gold Star Family, Immigrants, Pope, and African-Americans etc. However, despite so many controversies why is he a big threat for Hillary? It should have been an easy victory for Hillary and that is what any rational thinker can say. Yours truly believe Trump’s phenomenal success among the white voters has come from their grievances against the Obama administration. Many white people believe their country has been taken over by the immigrants and they can get their country back if Donald Trump becomes President. They believe Trump will not be loyal to donors, special interest groups, or the Wall Street. His only focus will be American people. Trump’s slogans such as ‘Make America Great Again’ or ‘America First’ have resonated well among the white nationalistic group of people. This writer was outside the venues of some Trump rallies and the kind of euphoria that was seen in Trump rallies was indeed unprecedented.
However, this writer was also witness to some massive rallies of Hillary Clinton.
What differentiate Hillary’s rally is, the people of different race and culture attending them in masses.
This election is going to be determined by the swing states and the undecided voters. If most Americas cast their vote out of frustrations, then there will be a high chance of a Trump Presidency. Nevertheless, if they think realistically about the basic differences in the two candidates and if they take into account their previous achievements and failures, then definitely Trump is a no match for Hillary. She is in a league of her own.
In 2008, America made history by sending the first black man to the White House.
In 2016 will there be another history when Hillary Clinton is elected as the first woman as the President of the USA?
The clock is ticking; we are just some hours away from the history!
