NPR Politics Debate Questions by Ryan James https://padlet.com/rjames9/1ci3nbz7dyrd Our questions for the NPR Team en-us 2016-10-17 18:33:23 UTC 2024-04-22 16:49:29 UTC hello@padlet.com Camila https://padlet.com/rjames9/1ci3nbz7dyrd/wish/131973033 Considering both candidates' closing statements in tonight's debate, as well as their overall performance, do you believe that one or the other proved themselves to have the strongest foundation for their presidency on which undecided people could justify a vote for the overall "winner" of the debate, or is the situation just as unpredictable as before?]]> 2016-10-20 04:00:25 UTC https://padlet.com/rjames9/1ci3nbz7dyrd/wish/131973033 Chance https://padlet.com/rjames9/1ci3nbz7dyrd/wish/132106397 Hello, My name is Chance. I am currently a High School Senior in Fort Collins, CO, and am fortunate enough to vote in this year's election. I am currently an undecided voter, and considering the last presidential debate, neither candidate has given me strong reasons to support either of them. So, what is the best way to affect change in this country through the election?]]> 2016-10-20 15:18:02 UTC https://padlet.com/rjames9/1ci3nbz7dyrd/wish/132106397 Cole https://padlet.com/rjames9/1ci3nbz7dyrd/wish/132126143 Hello, My name is Cole. I am a high school junior in Fort Collins. Even though I don't get to vote this year, it is still important to me to know what is going on. Chris Wallace did the best job moderating in the debates. Do you think that the debates have swayed any voter to either side?]]> 2016-10-20 16:04:37 UTC https://padlet.com/rjames9/1ci3nbz7dyrd/wish/132126143 Lil https://padlet.com/rjames9/1ci3nbz7dyrd/wish/132154854 As a youth of today's society, I think I speak for all of my fellow teens when I say I'm concerned about the society I live in. Based on what we saw from the first debate, how do you think these candidates have matured, if at all? How solid do you think the candidate's answers were and do you think their answers addressed the appropriate topics that the citizens of the U.S. are most concerned about?

election results and he said that he would leave us guessing, but he did
state that he thought it was rigged and wants his supporters to go to their
poll areas and watch for anything suspicious. So, how can Trump not accept
the election results when the entire history of our country is based on the
peaceful transfer of power?

While I'm a young American, I don't remember this being common practice during the last elections. Was this common? What effects are the candidates hoping to see with this?]]> 2016-10-20 18:37:17 UTC https://padlet.com/rjames9/1ci3nbz7dyrd/wish/132190501 Michal 81029 https://padlet.com/rjames9/1ci3nbz7dyrd/wish/132191057 During the Presidential Debate, allegations of both Trump's sexual assault scandal as well as Hillary's email/rigging scandal came up. I've heard a lot of people say that one scandal is bigger than the other and therefore they are unfit to be president more so than the other. Should we look at these scandals and try to quantify and compare them? Is one really a bigger issue than the other? How should we go about interpreting these scandals and how they influence a candidate's run?]]> 2016-10-20 18:38:35 UTC https://padlet.com/rjames9/1ci3nbz7dyrd/wish/132191057
