Hyrum Draughon: Going to Disney on Election Day
As the 2016 presidential election will be my first opportunity to vote, politics is a pressing subject on my mind. For years I have looked forward to getting to vote for the president. Now I find myself envying my friends who are still too young to vote. What happened?
Why do both presidential candidates make me scared of what will happen to our country if elected? Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. Out of all the American citizens eligible to run for president, does anybody really think that either of these two is the single best person for the job, or that they’re even close? I seriously doubt it.
That is why in November, I am either going to write in Mickey Mouse for president or not vote at all.
