kianhThe end of the presidential election draws near, and students at the MCC Southern and Dobson campus had a mixture of responses regarding the nominees. Some are sure of who they want to see as commander in chief, while others are either undecided, or disinterested entirely. MCC student Paul Kiernan is probably voting “for Hillary Clinton, because I like the Clintons a lot. I always have.” Kiernan also appreciated Secretary Clinton’s experience. “She’s already been in office before,” Kiernan said. “Both when her husband was in office and when she was Secretary of State; so she already knows a lot of the politics that goes on in the White House anyways.” Fellow student Zoe Simkins voiced a distaste for both Donald Trump and Clinton.
