Presidents have played very important roles in the development of their respective countries over the years. They are leaders that people look up to for inspiration, because they are public figures. However, being a public figure doesn't mean that they are beyond mistakes.

In Iowa this weekend we were graced with the opportunity to watch many of the Democratic candidates pitch their views, and more importantly their personalities, on stage in a brief five minute speech. Think of it as presidential candidate speed-dating for the voters.

The Democratic nominee for 2020 should work hard for black voters and not at all for Trump voters.

America’s third president, Thomas Jefferson, once said, “An informed citizenry is at the heart of a dynamic democracy,” and in light of that, it’s time to become informed about 2020 presidential candidate, Andrew Yang, as well as some of the policies he stands for.

Don’t fall asleep on Kamala Harris.

A recent story indicates that Trump's campaign staff is worried about the 2020 reelection effort because the candidate, at 72, is starting to show his age and is tired. His campaign realizes that he has lost a lot of support in some of the states that helped him win in 2016, and worries that he may not have the energy for campaigning that he mustered that time.

In the planning stages, this was going to be a satirical article about Donald Trump and how Senator John McCain hurt his feelings. Yet, during the course of research, it became evident that the premise of the article was real and true. In a press conference, Trump admitted that his continued attacks on the beloved, late senator are because McCain hurt his feelings and 'betrayed' him. It's like an article from The Onion has come to life and running the country or pretending to.

Several Democrats have officially announced that they will be running for the candidacy of their party. The party needs interior changes after Hilary Clinton’s defeat in 2016 to a non-political candidate. As well as being a surprise defeat, it was a defeat which undermined the party moving forward after two successful terms in power with Barack Obama. The way forward for the party is new faces and a fresh political view. At this point in time, it is unclear just who Americans will see on their voting cards next to President Trump.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt will always be fondly remembered as the President who pulled the United States out of the Great Depression and led them into war to prevent the spread of fascism. Furthermore, he did this whilst suffering from health issues that made almost all of his adult life a struggle.

With the United States government in complete polarization between both parties, the wheels of progress have almost come to a complete halt. In a bygone era when just compromise was inevitable, the wheels of progress rolled right along. Sure, there were bumps along the way, but none so high as to stop the way. Now, as we head toward 2020, much has to be done, not only to secure a better future, but to make sure there is a future.
