Emerson's Child

How would Emerson view the 2016 Presidential Election? How would he suggest we move forward as individuals, as a community, and as a country?

          Some people view the 2016 Presidential Election as the worst election in U.S. history. I agree in some way but don't really understand what the 2 candidates have that would make them capable of running the country. As other people in America believe this too I believe that if Emerson were still alive today i don't believe he would like this election very much. Both the candidates are hated by half the country so it doesn't matter who got elected, this is not the best that the country could have done.
          I strongly believe that Emerson would view the 2016 election as a separation of the people all around the U.S. Emerson is a man who understands the concepts of building up yourself. And his ideas for that are different than the ideas that the candidates have on building up the nation. Even though they are 2 separate things to build up, Emerson would not agree with the candidates so he will also not view the election as something good for the country.
          Emerson would have a lot of advice for us to move forward as individuals. After the election we have to move forward by just going through our everyday life. He would suggest to just continue as ourselves despite the opinions we had on the election. As a community I believe that it would be somewhat the same thing. To just move forward being the community we have always been, if not better. But to move on as a country is a whole different thing.
          Emerson would probably believe that it is going to be more difficult for the country to move on. I believe that Emerson's ideas would not work on this one because of all the different opinions that the people have. Emerson would suggest that we just agree on something that we can all agree on but that wont work because this country is now divided. With a divided country we can't move forward.
          Emerson would view the presidential election as a bad thing for the U.S. We can move forward as individuals buy just sticking to our regular lives and just be ourselves. Now to move forward as a community, Emerson would suggest we should just be the same community, if not better. But Emerson's ideas would not help the country move forward because people have different opinions and with the election this country now seems separated. Emerson would suggest a lot of things but I don't believe anything can help the country move forward together despite the election.
