As bids are being made for the 2016 election, Josh Fauver said getting involved is more important now than ever.

Fauver especially thinks it’s important for the college-aged to vote in elections because “we need to think about higher education and what our socioeconomic situation is going to be when we get out of college.”

Fauver said there is an interesting mix of presidential candidates so far with Ted Cruz and Rand Paul so ideologically close to one another.

Fauver also believes that Hillary Clinton’s bid is the worst kept secret in American political history.

“We all knew it,” said Fauver, a junior communication advocacy major.

But even as a Democrat, Fauver isn’t sold on Clinton.

“She’s gonna have to really show me something for me to support her,” he said. “She’s much too close to Wall Street.”

Although Fauver believes Clinton will be a tough opponent to beat, he agrees with former Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee that any candidate in favor of the Iraqi war should be disqualified from presidency.

“I think it’s the worst foreign policy decision since Vietnam. We spent three trillion dollars and countless hundreds of millions treating veterans. The world is not a better place,” Fauver said.

Tough is how the NY Times described Clinton’s attitude during the 2008 election. Regardless of how tough it may be to beat Clinton, her not getting elected isn’t seen as a loss for some.

Brea Joyner is indifferrent about Clinton running for president. However, she thinks its inspirational because of the history women have in this country.

She thinks it’s a great step forward for the country.

“Her running for president just proves the progression our country is making,” said Joyner, sophomore communications major.“Its brave and I commend her for it.”
