I’m too young to vote, and that’s a good thing

As a 17-year-old, I will not be able to vote for this election. But honestly, this is turning out to be a good thing, especially with the candidates we have running for president.

I wouldn’t like to see either Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump sitting in that premier seat in the White House. It seems like people are digging up new information constantly negating the legitimacy of either candidate. I really never understood how credible the information on Hillary Clinton from WikiLeaks was, but the way she gets defensive about it really does show that there was some activity she shouldn’t have been in.

Trump isn’t the sweetest candidate out there either. If he was able to control his language, he would have had an easier time winning this election. I’ve heard Trump say some things that really shouldn’t be coming out of a person’s mouth, let alone our presidential candidate.

Neither candidate has business running for president, but I wish them both the best of luck. I hope either one does great things for this great country we live in.
