On Friday, October 21, 2016, Cathleen Decker and Noah Bierman two political writers wrote the article "This election is much more than Trump vs. Clinton. It's old America vs. new America" at Los Angeles Times analyzing this presidential campaign full of contrasts. In the article both authors presented and analyzed each candidate's point of view to the needs of the county. Then, they described the two kind of Americans and who they support the most. The political writers of the Los Angeles Time political blog stated that people supported --"Republicans with older and white voters, and Democrats with younger, more culturally and racially diverse ones". Then, Decker and Bierman contrast each candidate with his/her strengths and weakness; presided, by voter's comments about both candidates. Finally, the authors pointed that we could be going under a political realignment when the mentioned "'the nation's demographic changes add to the urgency of recognizing how precarious our position has became' said the report by the Republican National Committee." They also reported their analysis and according to their reports Hillary Clinton emerged victorious.
     Decker and Bierman are two prestigious political writers, there is a reason why they work for Los Angeles Times on of the biggest news cites along the nation. For his side Bierman is a graduate from duke who has been in the business of politics for a long time, and he also has worked for important newspaper around the country like The Boston Globe. Cathleen Decker is a veteran covering presidential campaigns as well as senator campaigns meaning tat she has a lot of experience analyzing political debates. The authors try to reach general public, they used general language meaning that they want everyone to understand and not to get bored. In addition, they try to inform all the public about the analysis of the debates by the point of view of two professionals. In general, I agree with the analysis of the authors. They are being objective and rational. They exposed the argument of both candidates and support their arguments with evidence, people opinions, and reports from the national Republican Committee. 
      In conclusion, the authors made an incredible work with this analysis. They presented facts and didn't picked a side just informing the audience with facts, reports and evidence. I agree with the authors analysis.
