What does your candidates website say?

Link:

www.donaldjtrump.com

Quotes:

America is back, I am your voice.

Make America great again.

Notes:
There is no section about Mike Pence on Donald Trumps website. Who needs to know about
the vice president, they dont do anything anyway.

Summary (This should be like an opening statement in the debate!)

Now I know what youre thinking, how could Trump not include any information about me on
his website? But weve only been a team since July 15th, it takes time to write a biography
nowadays, but Im sure Trump has one on the way. Im also sure that when you read it you will
understand just how good of a team we will make.

Here CNN-Ted Cruz

Quotes:

After many months of careful consideration, of prayer and searching my own

conscience, I have decided that on election day, I will vote for the Republican
nominee, Donald Trump.
We know, without a doubt, that every Clinton appointee would be a left-wing
ideologue. Trump, in contrast, has promised to appoint justices in the mold of (the
late Antonin) Scalia, Cruz wrote. For some time, I have been seeking greater
specificity on this issue, and today the Trump campaign provided that.

Notes:
Cruz has decided to endorse Trump because he says he doesnt want a
Clinton Presidency.
Also sided with Trump because he released a list of conservative judges likely
to appeal to the former Supreme Court clerk -- Including perhaps Cruzs closest friend
in Congress. Trump has almost lured in Cruz by promising a Supreme court position
to one of his best friends, and it worked.
Before this though, Trump and Cruz ran a pretty nasty campaign against each
other, but somehow theyre over bashing each others wives and are now good
buddys.
Trump even said before that I dont want his endorsement. If he gives it, I will
not accept it, just so you understand.
Now trump has said that I am greatly honored by the endorsement of Senator
Ted Cruz, then goes on to say, I look forward to working with him.
Summary:
I personally (Pence) have worked with Ted Cruz and he is a great man. Like any political
campaign candidates will always fight and argue to get your vote, but in the end, both Donald
Trump and Senator Cruz stand for the same side and very similar ideals. It only makes sense
that after such a long and well fought battle that we can come to an agreement to make
America great again instead of constantly fighting. Ted Cruz made a very wise choice by
siding with Trump, now instead of splitting the republican vote we can all focus on voting for
Trump and keeping Hillary Clinton out of office.

Quotes:

Time Magazine
(Trump) is not fit in any way, shape, or form to represent this
country abroad or to be its commander-in-chief.
Most business people, Obama said, obtain success without leaving
a trail of lawsuits, workers who didnt get paid

 He spent most of his life staying as far away of working people as

he could. And now this guy is going to be the champion for working
people?
I have to do business with Putin, Obama said. But I dont go
around saying thats my role model.
Obama argued that the U.S. cannot afford to act as if theres some
equivalence here between the two candidates, saying Trump has tried to
turn the campaign into a reality show and does not understand the
magnitude of the position hes seeking to hold.

Notes:

Obama is very anti-Trump

Trump would not make a good face of this country
He is irresponsible and would not make a good commander in chief
Trump is a bad businessman who left a trail of lawsuits and unpaid people
Doesnt understand the levity of being president
Trump idolizes Putin
Running campaign as if hes on a reality show

Summary:
Obama has made some very radical claims about my running mate, Donald Trump. But
Trump is a businessman and thats how we need to run this country, weve had the same old
democratic president for the past eight years and hes brought down the economy and
brought up taxes. We need change and Donald Trump is the man to bring it. The claim that
Trump is a bad business man has also been brought up multiple times for no reason at all. He
has paid all of the people who he needed to pay, no more, no less. He wouldnt be a very
good businessman if he went around giving out money to people for no reason. Trump has
also said that he admired Putins strong hold over his country. Of course we dont agree with
everything hes done to his people, but we do respect his firm leadership. Hes a no nonsense
kind of guy and in his position, its necessary. Trump just wants whats best for the american
people, they say in politic you cant please everyone but we can sure try.
