Question

The upcoming polls: Republicans vs. Democrats.

The fundamental rules of liveral democracy is to have a system of balances and checks.
Candidayes are no different from this.

Answer 3

Of course YES! I think that if they want to be in power if they want our future's in their hands they have to be held accountable!
With great power comes great responsibility! We should not just blindly trust the morals and capabilities of one man on his word,
Don't you think that the temptation to deviate would be too great for one man to bear if he knows that we are just blindly trusting him? After all he is just human!
