Opinions rise as U.S. presidential debates heat up

With the American presidential election fast approaching, some have picked sides while others prefer to sit and watch from the sidelines.

Whether people like it or not, Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton will be the next president of the United States. 

Some people have followed the process since the very beginning and have picked their candidate. 

Even Canadians are getting their opinions heard on the upcoming election.

Mitchel Tyler, a Border Services student at St. Clair College, has picked a candidate to support.

“I favour him (Donald Trump), although lots of dirt has come up on him,” said Tyler. “I just can’t support someone like Hillary.”

Tyler said it appears one thing is certain: this election isn’t going to change anything, as much as people fear it will.

“Trump promises the deportation of illegal immigrants, which the left media tries to twist to make it seem as if he speaks of all immigrants,” said Tyler.

According to CBC, the current presidential polls show Clinton ahead of Trump by seven percent while 11 percent of American voters prefer a third party candidate.
