Presidential Candidate Platforms

To Do Now

Each candidate page should begin with a brief biography, their picture, a link to their campaign website, and then a summary of their stances on the following issues:

1. Tax Reform
2. Jobs and Business Policy
3. Health Policy
4. Drug Policy
5. Middle East
6. Trade
7. Immigration
8. Environmental

If their stance on an issue can't be found on their website, check what they say in debate transcripts, etc. The objective here is to get a large quantity of information about the candidates and organize it well. You can look at any of the in progress works if you want to see an example.

Once you've picked a candidate, make note of it here, and once their wiki is finished, say so on here as well.

1. Jeb Bush - Claudio - in progress
2. Ben Carson - Carlin - in progress
3. Bernie Sanders - Will - in progress

To Do Future

After we've filled out this lump candidate information, some potential courses of action include:

• Fact checking the things they claim
• Topic area pages
• Linking debate transcriptions, possibly filtering them and pulling out what we think is important
• Link news articles / other sources
• Poll numbers (although these fluctuate so often, is it worth it?)
• Reformatting to make pretty
