Many Americans want the presidential election campaign to end as quickly as possible. Political observers say it has been one of the most negative campaigns in many years. The top two candidates have little, if anything, good to say about each other. Some observers have already begun to think about what will happen after the election. They say it will be very difficult to lead the government in one of the largest economies in the world at a time of economic uncertainty. William Galston was an aide to Bill Clinton when he served as president. “Very simply, elections have consequences. You are being hired to do a job and the American people’s understanding of what they’re hiring you to do is based on what comes out of your mouth during the campaign.” Galston notes that if Donald Trump is elected president, he will be forced to announce the full cost of building a wall between the United States and Mexico. Building a wall to keep out illegal immigrants is one of Trump’s main campaign promises. The Republican Party presidential candidate has said that the project would cost $12 billion.
