Shark Speak for October 20, 2015

What do you think of the candidates currently running for president?

 

“There is a wide variety of topics and things these candidates want to fix, and it seems like I still need more time on making a decision on who I want to be our next president. My first choices would be Dr. Ben Carson, Marco Rubio and Carly Fiorina. Of course, over the next few months with debates and speeches, I could change my mind, but for now, these people are my frontrunners of the Republican Party.”

Claudia Stevens, freshman biology major

 

“I haven’t done enough research to decide which candidate would be best for our country, but I can tell that we are in a lot of trouble and that most candidates are aiming for entertainment purposes rather than political ones.”

Karena Washington, freshman marine biology major

 

“I think that Hilary Clinton should win because we really need a female approach to the presidency, and I think it would be a definite phenomenon in history. Donald Trump is definitely also another runner for president, but I think I’m going to move to Canada if he does win. Either Clinton or Biden winning would definitely serve this country best.”
Lekha Mutyala, sophomore biology major

 

“If Hillary or Trump wins, I’m fleeing the country.”

Chase Gaiefsky, freshman business administration major

 

“I think it’s a pretty varied field; it definitely makes for a lot of interesting characters, more so on the Republican side than on the Democratic side. The Democratic side is based on Hilary at the front and Bernie Sanders kind of catching some momentum with a lot of young voters, but the Republican side definitely has the spotlight on them with Donald Trump turning it into a reality show. It will be like having a reality TV star in the White House, but there are definitely a lot of good, educated Republican candidates.”

Chris Osorno, junior political science major

 

“I listen to what they say, and, honestly, I think it’s hard. I don’t think that even if they do become elected they would be able to fix the problems in America. Donald Trump, however, I feel is too strongly-opinionated. At the same time, I’m not going to say that what he says wouldn’t work. I just think that he’ll probably need a lot more help than he thinks he does in terms of making the country better. So I’m not really strongly siding for anyone. I’m still figuring it out.”

Lance Singleton, senior marketing major
