                                   Presidential Candidates 2016  

One of the most talked about topics is the current presidential election. This election has been one of the most interesting elections in recent history. The reason why I chose these two topics to compare and contrast is because there is so much information about these two people. They have many similar, yet very different characteristics about them. The purpose of my essay is to break down the two topics and explain the similarities and the dissimilar facts of each. This essay should be very interesting!
