NO CLEAR WINNER!

WITH THE DEBATE OVER,

We look back on what has been a remarkable
campaign. But in spite of outstanding arguments
from each side the question still lingers; who
won?
First things first, each candidate was not afraid
to make their personal views extremely clear
and every team took a different approach, James
was cerebral and reserved, Mclovin focused on
the facts, and Lando never failed to take the
strongest conservative stance.
Interviews with the students after the debate
(some of which are seen throughout today's
issue) reveal a general positive reception of
Mclovin, despite having unpopular views and a
notable controversy regarding a few comments
made by Landos group. And between these
two, James Jamison seems to have carved out
his place as a considerate not-too-overbearing
but also not-too-committed candidate. during the debate. Lando Frees statement on
So who won? Every campaign has raised more
money than ever before and will campaign their
hardest today, but ultimately it's up to you. The
winner is whoever you most agree with, or
whoever had the strongest convictions, or
maybe it was just the underdog. It's your choice
and that's OK, the biggest success of last weeks
debate was that it was informative and exciting
and we hope it has inspired you to go out and
cast your ballot on election day.

THE DEBATE CRASHERS:
RLS SPEAKS UP!
The RLS made an explosive appearance
at the debate last Friday. Kylie Hale was the
ringleader of the group shouting protests.
MURDERER! she screams as Justin
McLovins team states their candidates
pro-choice stance on assisted suicide. Much of
the audience became ecstatic and there was the
uproar in the wake of Hales commentary
McLovin.
The group never missed a hot topic
transgender military service marked a
particularly memorable example. After Austin
Jennings stated their candidates opinion on
transgenderism ie, that it was a mental illness,
there was a profound negative reaction coming

from the audience spearheaded by the RLS.
James Jamison received a mixed reaction from
the audience as well when they answered the
question about the Black Lives Matter
Movement in a less-than-supportive manner.
Each time the audience started with jeering and
boos but slowly clapping came from others in
spite.. With so much disagreement on nearly
every issue, who really won?
