I am addicted to keeping up with the Presidential Election. There, I admitted. I cannot get enough of the news update of the presidential election in my land country called America. The candidate Donald Trump cannot stop making me laugh; no one has ever said a group of people (in this case Muslim) should be banned from a country that as diverse as America. Mrs. Hilary Clinton are so confident in her stand that she signifies a great role model for millions of women in the world, Ted Cruz was born in Canada and he proves that "natural born" does not mean that a person have to be born in the American land in order to be the next president and despite how much the public supports Mr. Cruz, I found myself to be confused what the Founding Fathers meant when they wanted only a natural born person to be the President of the US.
I am 28 and was never interested in politics when I was younger. Not until college that I took voting and politics seriously. Despite my new interest for politics in college, I found myself to steer away from it due to the dramas that the campaign--or politics in general-- can generate. But this election grabbed my attention for what it is and I cannot take my eyes away from it. Maybe I outgrown my apathy for politics and saw it in a different light as I age and see how relevant it is to my own life. Maybe the election is just a different monster than before and it does a better job in entertaining viewers--despite how other developed countries in the world do not like the comments that some of the candidates made. For whatever the reason, I cannot take my eyes off this election and I am actually fine with it.
