Night to Tuesday, starting 21:00 american time starts on the first tv debate between presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. It is followed by a second duel on 9 October and a third on 19 October.
three years ago I wrote an article about the political situation in the united states in the magazine Neo. Although much has happened since then, between and within the parties own analysis of its validity and can serve as a background to the remaining valstriden prior to election day on november 8.
Much has happened economically in the country, something that has so far played less of a role for the campaign itself. New figures on the economy’s recovery does not penetrate through the vulgärbruset, but can be summed up in a slogan: "You have it better than ever – a pity that you do not know about it."
A heavier factor behind Trump’s success is likely to be perceived fear.
It began as a shaking on the lower decks of the Eleventh september 2001, and is now the feeling that Trump is playing at and can do that thanks to new acts of terrorism that fuel the lawsuits. His target groups are the mexicans, muslims and african americans. Figures from the Brookings found that two-thirds of americans are afraid of terrorism, doubling in a few years. According to the Gallup poll, concerns about the violence reached record heights. It mobilizes the particular Trumps sympathizers.
And a majority of americans now thinks that it was better in the past to live in the united states, according to a study from the American Enterprise Institute.
The Trump way to exploit the lawsuits are based on lies, according to a survey in the Washington Post, does not interfere with his faktaresistenta voters.
It is the emotionality rather than rationality (see my article here last Sunday) that controls the outcome of the election campaign, if not the night of the debate can swing opinionsvinden, the mood in the nation, which is now blowing of the Trump, against Clinton.
MATS is the chairman of the think tank Frivärld. He published in 1986 the book Freedom of ideas: the US before the 90′s as a correspondent in Washington, DC have followed the presidential election in 1984.
