The way elections are run now is not bad or misguided, but to say that there are no improvements that can be made to the current system would not be true. The nominees running for president could spend less money or have a limited amount to spend because so much money is poured into each candidates presidential campaign. Yes, they do need a lot of money to spend to try and sway the American people their way and get their vote but I feel like they could still accomplish what they would deem necessary to achieve their campaign goals even with a lower budget. I also believe that too much money that the candidates have is used on bashing the other candidate and what they're all about. This would force them to rethink their game plan and use their money in more meaningful ways other than talking down their opponent so much. In essence the candidates are trying to lower the other candidates status to the American people instead of being used to promote themselves and appeal to all Americans to the best of their ability. They need to spend more of their valuable time and money on the issues that are important to Americans. The candidates could also stay true to their beliefs and not change them during the course of the election to try and collect votes from the Americans who aren't republican or democrat, even though most believe that the middle votes are considered the most crucial. When the candidates change what they believe in, they may win some of the votes they were looking for, but they can make themselves look untrustworthy and unreliable to some Americans which would cause them to lose some of the votes that they worked so hard to gain. There are many things that candidates will do to win and become president, and sometimes they'll go back and forth on certain issues if they believe it will give them that little extra push that they need.
