I think Hillary will win the election. I care little about politics so i don't really know their polices. I don't think it will get that close. if it was to happen because most of congress is republicans, they would most likely choose Donald Trump. It should be popular vote because it should be the people who picks the new president. Because the government could be corrupt or the election could be rigged. I don't think there would be more parties. i'll be concerned if Trump wins. No. I care little about politics. I'll just ask my parents.
