Can Hillary make it
“Hillary Clinton must become the next President of the United States,” said Senator Bernie Sanders and the crowd erupted in cheers. “Don’t let anyone ever tell you that this country is not great, it is because this (USA), right now, is the greatest country on earth,” voiced Michelle Obama.
All what they said aimed at convincing the Democrat supporters in particular and the US people in general to exercise their franchise on Tuesday, the November 8, 2016 in favour of former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to make her the 58th US President. Voters will select presidential electors who in turn will vote for a new president and vice president through the Electoral College.
According to the latest forecast, Hillary will get 273.3 and Trump will secure 263.1 electoral votes. The third candidate out of many Gary Johnson will receive 0.6 votes. Of the popular votes, the Democrats candidate Hillary will win 52.7 percent while Trump 47.2 votes.
This is not final. Everyday it will be updated with the new national or international event taking place around the world.
But whoever captures the next US presidency, it will hardly bring any basic change in the country’s internal and the international policies. The US administration has three fundamental targets. These are not to allow the alienated Muslim community to unite, to protect Israel and to contain China.
Yet, Bangladesh has reason to exult if Hillary wins.
