If I was a teacher presenting that test, I too, should be fired. I would not be a.llowing students to make their own decisions on the traits that made them winners.No. Any time one makes an assumptiom about a trait of a politician under the guise of a "Vobaulary test," is obviously spounting their own personal view.I think one of the most import jobs for a teacher is teaching students how to evaluate properly. And that is making opinions. How are we going to change the dynamics of elections if people are not taught how to make decisions and evaluate?Too many people out there wants to be a teacher, an unbiased, GOOD teacher.

It's the same as writing Donald Trump won the election of 2016 because he was an _____________ and ___________ candidate. (answers: honest and dynamic)
Barack Obama won his election because he was _________________. (answer: black.)
A vocabulary test with a historical bent would be "Donald Trump ________________pacts and treaties with other nations. (negotiates)
Barack O bama set a ________________ by being the first elected US President. In neither of these instances are negative or positive aspects placed on either politician.
