The New York primaries brought no surprises: Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump won a decisive victory (each from his party). Elections in America are gaining momentum. Coming soon to the finish line of the presidential race. The whole world with great interest, since it is directly interested in the result, is waiting for the results.

Mechanism

These differences are significant. First, candidates for the presidency within political parties are selected by voting at congresses, after which lists of electors are submitted, who pledge to support a particular candidate. The first Tuesday of November marks the voting of the inhabitants of the whole country directly at the polling stations. And only in the states of Nebraska and Maine, the procedure is much more complicated: two candidates are elected directly by the state, the rest go to the district.

Each state declares exactly the number of electors represented in Congress. The struggle for the presidency is usually between Republicans and Democrats, since these are the moststrong parties. The best way to determine the most deserving - primaries, all-party national primaries by party. Only then the population directly votes. Most often, elections in America do not run counter to the results shown by the primaries.

Democrats and Republicans: Differences

The main difference is the electorate. Democrats are chosen by the poor, while Republicans are chosen by the middle class and we althier citizens. The second difference is in ideology. Republicans are centrists on the right, while Democrats are on the left. The third difference is in political views. The Democrats are in favor of increasing taxes and are not afraid of a budget deficit, while the Republicans want to develop the economy and add aggression to politics. The elections in America clearly show what the people of the USA want at the moment - peace or war.

For a third term, not a single president in the United States can remain, since the Constitution provides for a special amendment to this effect. But anyone can sponsor their candidate there. For example, this time the elections in America will surely bring victory to Hillary Clinton, since the billionaire Soros has already "voted" for her with six million dollars.

Who can run

First of all, the candidate needs to meet some special requirements.

• US citizenship by birthright.
• Age over thirty-five.
• Residing in the US for at least the last fourteen years.

The winner must take the oath on January 20next year after the American elections are over. Accordingly, the next candidate will be able to take office as early as January 20, 2017.

What's going on now

Barack Obama said through his press secretary that he would support any candidate from the Democratic Party who can win the primaries. Clinton won. Joseph Biden lost. And Obama no longer says for some reason that Hillary is an outstanding secretary of state, a wonderful candidate and an excellent president in the future. It seems that the prospect of Hillary Clinton's presidency scares not only the whole world, but also the current president.

Republican nominees drew a huge number: Senators Rand Paul, Tedd Cruz, Mark Rubio, Governors Scott Worker, Jeb Bush, ex-governors Rick Santorum, Mike Huckabee, Rick Perry, Senators Lindsey Graham, Chris Christie, Congressmen Paul Ryan and others. Republicans are on the rise, dreaming of taking the presidency as they already control both houses of Congress. And among them is investor Donald Trump, who won the primaries. However, no one can yet accurately predict the outcome, namely, who will be the next president of the United States.

Social cyclism

This is not the influence of planets, the Moon, stars or secret radiations, this is not even mystical entogeny. Social generations are simply changing, which have three types: dominant with social priority, then the generation of associates who live in the shadow of the dominant and serve as support for it, and, finally, the generation of superfluouspeople, rebels who always buzz, criticize everything, but never achieve anything.

Generation groups are formed within a thirty-year cycle. For the United States, from 1995 to 2025, you need to wait for a new dominant generation. Representatives of the old dominant will have a strong position until a new dominant appears. Just now, one can notice what is happening in America on the eve of the elections - the power-political system is being reorganized. In the Russian Federation, this process is almost over, and in the United States it is at its apogee. The dominant generation of the old model - Hillary Clinton born in 1947 from the Democratic Party and Donald Trump from 1946 from the Republican Party - will most likely replace the dominant generation with a new one in the next election. Well, now the question remains open: who will be the next US president?

Hillary Clinton

This woman has a huge chance to take the Oval Office is no longer the first lady. The 2016 US presidential election, according to most experts, will end with her victory. She was both a senator and a secretary of state, and received a doctorate in law, and has been a prominent member of the Democratic Party since time immemorial. Considered the most influential first lady in US history.

The first attempt to run as a Democrat in 2007 failed, despite the support of her husband Bill and a large part of the voters, a huge advertising campaign (very expensive), leadership in all ratings and polls. Obamawon. Nevertheless, few now doubt her victory. However, the US presidential election in November 2016 will show how accurate the predictions are.

Programs

Hillary is now 69 years old. If she wins, then only Ronald Reagan, who turned seventy when he first won the election, will remain older than her among the US presidents. And by the way, not much. The candidates for the presidency of the United States this time are numerous. Why didn't the younger Sanders win among the Democrats? The election program that he presented was notable for a certain socialist radicalism, and there are not so many extreme leftists in the States today. The Clinton program has a much more even impact on different sections of the electorate.

Of course, Hillary has moved significantly to the left, but still her program looks balanced, in some places even slightly republican - it takes into account the interests of different segments of the population, including big business. Hillary's claim to fight for social and economic justice, for business development in the United States is also attractive. Moreover, a very ambitious plan has been developed to implement these postulates into life, in which economic growth is stimulated and wages are raised. How are elections in America? People carefully get acquainted with the programs of candidates. Last time, the independent, with a very populist program, Obama won. This time, the people did not fall for populism. Hillary rationality convinced everyone: no radical reforms - only economic growth and stability.

Republicans

It's even more ambiguous here. The Republican camp nominated fifteen candidates for the presidential election. Nevertheless, the top three were the same for a long time. First of all, Jeb Bush, the governor of Florida, the son of President George W. Bush and the brother of the president - another George W. Bush, was constantly called the first and most successful. Running for the presidency of the United States is a family tradition, but apparently not this time. Despite giving up all directorship positions at various companies, Jeb did not win the primary.

The second most popular Republican electorate was Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker. Moreover, he was the favorite of the election race. However, he refused to fight for the presidency - popularity fell sharply, no one gave money for advertising, and the election campaign was planned to be wide and expensive. Republican voters somehow very sharply retreated to support Trump, leaving Walker with less than one and a half percent. The remaining candidates were unable to fight the charismatic billionaire and lover of models from Eastern Europe, Trump.

Donald John Trump

This is a prominent American entrepreneur, construction magnate and owner of a huge network of casinos and hotels, a billionaire. In addition to business, he was engaged in writing - a number of books on self-development and business were published. He is a member of the Republican Party. In 1964 he brilliantly graduated from the military academy, after which he studied at the university and business school in Pennsylvania. Becoming a bachelor in economics,entered the family business.

The highest paid presenter on television. In 2002, he launched a reality show where the participants became candidates for the position of a top manager in Trump's firm. He dismissed the losers with the phrase: "You are fired!". The first season brought in fifty thousand dollars at first, but the beginning of the second raised the price of each episode to three million. Organized beauty contests, bought Miss America and Miss Universe. In 2007, he received his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for creating The Apprentice.

When is the next election?

Trump was predicted for the presidency a long time ago, since the beginning of the 80s, but at that time he himself had not yet decided whether he was left or right in his views, and only in 2009 joined the Republican Party. Since his success in economic knowledge and managerial skills is very high, he was put forward as a candidate as early as 2011, but Trump was not ready to leave the business. In 2015, he was ripe for the fight for the presidency. His campaign is very meticulously thought out, like everything that Trump is up to.

First there was a visit to New Hampshire, a stronghold of the Republicans, followed by a tour of California and Nevada, which he previously sponsored extensively. And, of course, Trump skillfully entertained the electorate, one might say, professionally. Some character traits made him popular: he is not a diplomat, he does not use euphemisms, he speaks openly about everything. Slightly eccentric, but truthful - people like them.

ProgramDonald Trump

The topics of his program were he alth care, immigration, domestic politics and, of course, economics. This politician frankly does not like the inhabitants of Mexico and the Middle East: he advocates the immediate and complete elimination of ISIS, and threatens to build something like the Great Wall of China on the border with Mexico. He strongly dislikes Obama's medical reform, which is too expensive for the state, and he has cheaper and more effective methods that taxpayers will like.

No one can argue with him about the economy, even the Democrats listen to him and take note of what he said. From the main: production must be returned to the United States, duties on American goods that are made abroad should be significantly increased, and China generally needs to declare economic war. Voters love it all, yet few believe that Trump will win this time. Although no one knows how the elections in America will end. Candidates are equal - not only financially they can stand up for themselves, but also get interested in election programs.
