Trump started negative campaign:
Of course, Donald Trump started the vituperative campaign which looked like hate campaign against Asians , Muslims and even women. Many justifiably thought as to how can a person aspiring to be the President of US make observations and remarks in his speeches, which really looked like that of a lowly rated politician. Some even suspected that Trump, a successful business man, cannot be unaware of the damage to his reputation by conducting such vicious campaign but he must have still persisted with such methods to draw media attention and make himself as the centre of the campaign.
In the recent days, Trump appears to have mellowed down and have made some speeches that are comparatively softer and more inclusive. However, this cannot undo the damage to the quality of campaign he already caused.
In any case, Trump has successfully defeated his rivals in the Republican party and the Republican convention, in all probability , would nominate him as the Republican candidate for the Presidency.
Opponents of Trump no better:
While Trump has such record, his opponents in the Republican party and in other spheres conducted themselves no better. Trump has been heavily abused and confronted by sharp comments, liberal use of abusive language and insulted by impolite remarks by the opponents withquestionable tactics. Several nicknames were given to him that did not look like healthy jokes but only reflected hate and enmity.
U S media no more neutral :
U S media did not conduct itself as a neutral force but took sides and several of the leading newspapers and journals have willingly , openly and readily lent their support to the hate Trump campaign. Many newspapers in US today are no more impartial and objective in their observations , while discussing about the merits or otherwise of Presidential candidates.
Worst happened :
The worst has happened when over one hundred nude women stripped themselves and posed naked with mirrors in Cleveland , answering a photographer’s call to blend art with politics and portray Donald Trump as unfit for the White House. They gathered on the eve of the Republican National Convention that would anoint Trump as party’s nominee for President.
Division in Republican party :
The Republican National Convention was off to a chaotic start as delegates opposed to Donald Trump and pressure from the Republican National Committee resulted in protests, showing that the campaign of the Republican party itself has not been on healthy lines.
Is Hillary Clinton any better ?:
While above is the story of Donald Trump, the campaign of Hillary Clinton has been marked by vague views and uncertain observations that has failed to create confidence that she can be a worthy President.
Apart from her lackluster campaign style which has not created particular enthusiasm even amongst her followers, the allegation that Saudi Arabia is a major funder of Hillary Clinton’s campaign to become the next president of the USA has caused deep concern to many Americans. So far, Hillary Clinton has not convincingly denied this.
Both are responsible :
What is very obvious is that both Trump and Clinton have not been able to elevate the campaign for meaningful, productive and knowledgeable discussions and themes. Today , it looks that the entire Presidential campaign is bordering only about immigrants, racism etc.
The latest is that Trump has said that if elected , he will “declare war” on the Islamic State. While there is lot of anger about the ISIS, many people are not sure about the appropriate way of neutalising iSIS. By his rhetorics , many suspect that Trump could even make the terrorist scenario more difficult and more horrendous by handling the issues without care and caution.
U S image hurt :
All said and done, the chaotic Presidential campaign has certainly hurt the image of US around the world as a progressive and well structured democratic country. The fact that the political system in America cannot throw better persons as Presidential candidate is causing deep worry and concern.
One only hope that both the Presidential candidates would understand such widespread world view about the quality of the campaign so far and settle down for more proactive and civilized style in conducting their campaign in the days to come, so that the campaign that was until recently carried out may be overlooked as an aberration that do not reflect the ground conditions in USA.
