education.
I will ensure that every child can fulfill his or her God-given potential.
I will launch a national campaign to elevate and modernize the teaching
profession, by preparing, supporting, and paying every childs teacher as if the

Notes:
Her (Hillarys) website consists of her arguments, proposals, actions, and opinions on the
issues that concern the citizens of the United States.
Her website is informational.
She brings in different perspectives.
She expresses her opinions on Donald Trump. Some of her opinions are
arguably appropriate and some are not so.
Her website informs the viewer about her, professionally.
She goes into depth about the educational system and what she wants to do to
help.
Summary:
After taking a look at both Hillary and Trumps website, there are a lot of things I noticed. One
thing that stuck out the most, was the difference in bashing between both candidates and their
websites. Hillarys website obviously vigorously demotes trump and his campaign, where
trump on the other hand does not have a single link involving his dislike towards her.

Quotes:

of the senators young supporters who had flocked to his insurgent campaign.

issue of the affordability of higher education prominently in the general election.
Education policy experts generally praised the new proposal, calling the
requirements for state financial participation essential to reversing the drastic state
cuts in higher education support.

Notes:
NYT (New York Times)
This source compares and contrasts the propositions of Hilary, Trump, and
Bernie.
It states that Hillary has taken on a few of Bernies propositions, in order
possibly gain his supporters votes.
New York Times also states in their opening paragraph Hillary Clintons
campaign announced a proposal on Wednesday to eliminate tuition at in-state public
colleges and universities for families with annual incomes up to $125,000 largely
embracing a core position of Senator Bernie Sanders, who had pledged to make
tuition at public institutions free for all students.
Summary:
The NYT is generally a non bias source, and because of that their opinions on Hillary were
more factual based rather than opinion based. They brought valid sources and reasoning as
well as supportive facts regarding her plans and what she plans of doing to execute them.

Hillary has demonstrated inconsistent support for public school choice too.
Hillary opposes private school choice In fact, in a 2006 interview Hillary claimed
that vouchers would eventually lead to the creation of taxpayer-financed white
supremacist academies or even a government-funded school of the jihad.

the staunchest opponents of school choice The American Federation of Teachers
super PAC which donated $1.6 million to the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton
Foundation and more than $2 million to Hillarys 2016 presidential campaign.

because of that she is not fit to be elected to fill the role as president.

are only presented to supporters to gain their votes.

compared to those of Trumps.

comes to social issues, including gay and transgender rights, health care, abortion,
and education.

primaries, but because many of her propositions are opposed to his. Donald believes that the
educational system needs to Immediately add an additional federal investment of $20 billion
towards school choice. As well as Give states the option to allow these funds to follow the
