I think that the elections is not the greatest concern I think what I saw on the
Dutch new chanel is of more importance.
after the elaction there is not a real power full president because the   the
seats shared by the Democratics and Republicans  is almost even.
I do have further ideas on why you should make your choise on one of the
candidates.
But that would,nt be a great idea .
