This article written by Phillip Rucker, Robert Costa, and Jenna Johnson, is about GOP presidential nominee, Donald Trump. Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton right now is being heavily favored by minority voters. With election day coming up in a matter of months, Donald Trump and his campaign are trying a new strategy to reel in minority voters. Part of his plan is conveying the message that the current situation of many black and Hispanic people isn't too good. To paraphrase him he has said that people are safer right now in war zones around the world than black and Hispanic people are in their comminutes. He connects this with the past 8 years being under a democratic president. He's saying that things can't get much worse than they have been under Barrack Obama.
The article appears to be fairly unbiased. For the most part, it is factually based, showing statistics about what America thinks about Donald Trump and his rhetoric, not just what the writers think. Following that, they take quotes from his supporters, himself, and his former campaign manager about his new strategy to appeal to minority voters. This article never specifies which side the writers are on; they don't need to. The whole time they are explaining why Trump is changing his campaign strategy and how.. I personally am supporting Hillary Clinton in this primary, but it's interesting to see campaign strategies from both sides of the aisle. Amongst white male voters,
Trump is doing fine in the polls, but he needs to get more minority voters in order to win the election. His argument about safety to me, isn't very valid. I don't think the problems that many black areas face is because of democrats or republicans. I believe it's because of the history of the United States and the lower socioeconomic state of black people that has always been there due to discrimination, dating back to slavery. We need to advance as a country, and push minorities people up, which I think democrats have done a better job of doing, but it still could be better. The main problem with Trump winning this election, is what he enables. He as a president can only do so much to Muslims, blacks, and hispanics, but his supporters can do more as a group. Personally, I feel Trump has brought out the worst in a lot of America. People aren't afraid to be racist anymore, which can lead to greater institutionalized oppression. Now more than ever in recent years, is the voice of minorities important. We shouldn't accept Trump's rhetoric, and vote for an inexperienced candidate just because they're not a politician. Minority voters need to come out and say that what Trump enables is unacceptable, and his plans are very unspecific and vague.
