Voice your choice!  Some may have never seen it coming, when we started out with several candidates on either side.  The debates revved up, and candidates were bowing out left and right.  On the Democratic side, it eventually came down to Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton.  On the Republican side, candidates tried not to let it happen, but Donald Trump took the lead in shark-like fashion, surprisingly garnering support from his rivals as they left.

The Republican side seemed incredibly divided.  Trump’s talk was the most divisive, and somehow he was the engine that could when others thought he could not.  The competition narrowed down even more.  Governor John Kasich seemed to be the last man standing against Donald Trump, but by the time of the convention, Donald Trump accepted the nomination as the presidential candidate for the Republican Party.

The Democratic Convention ended in similar fashion.  Bernie Sanders pledged his support to Hillary Clinton, the Democratic presidential candidate.  The race narrowed down between the two parties, now having their representative candidates duking it out in campaigns and debates.

The race is nearing the end.  We have choices to make, and the choices will determine the future of our nation for at least the next four years.  Rivals that once pledged support for Donald Trump are now withdrawing, the campaign ads are getting more prevalent, and soon Election Day will sneak up on us again – in the next two weeks!  As I realized looking at the calendar this morning, it isn’t next Tuesday, but the Tuesday after next.  Have you found some interesting facts to back your choice for the next president?  Keep digging, and choose carefully.  The outcome of this election will make history – either the first female President of the United States, or the Donald may have this country Trumped.
