Election Issues and Presidential Candidates of 2016

I learned many things throughout the experience of learning about election issues and the candidates.
One of the things that I learned was that their were four candidates running for president (Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, Gary Johnson, and Jill Stein).
I assumed that the only two candidates in the election were Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.
Something else that I thought was interesting was that all of the candidates had different opinions on different topics. Sometimes three of the candidates would be on the “Pro” side, and one candidate would be on the “Con” side. Or there would be two candidates on each of the sides. It would always depend on the election issue.
A lot of the issues that I read about, I didn’t even know were happening. For example, the federal minimum wage issue and that the debate about having more restrictions to purchasing a gun.
Reading about all of these issues, really brought me to see how we can make the world a better place.
