Here are some of Trump’s other ideas:

  • Improve education but spend less on it. Trump has pointed out that the U.S. spends more per student almost any than any other major country without getting the same achievement results.
  • Work with Congress to ensure that universities are doing their part to make higher education more affordable and reduce the amount of student debt.
  • Provide opportunities for young people to attend and pay for two- or four-year colleges, or to acquire vocational training or technical education.

My chose is...

My chose is Hillary Clinton because she has a lot of experience in government and I feel like she knows what she is doing. Since Donald Trump doesn't has any experience and I feel like he would probably do something wrong. He is judges Muslims because he said they were responsible for terror attacks. Now I get why Trump wouldn't let Muslims move to the U.S. but I think people should probably make sure they don't have any weapons or anything. Not all Muslims attack people. Hillary Clinton is in favor for a death penalty but only for rare cases. I don't think we should have a death penalty. For the people who do really bad things that deserve the death penalty should just go to jail for a really long time or a death sentence. As you can see, I vote for Hillary Clinton. If you don't think Hillary is right for president I totally respect that.
