Barry Goldwater's Weaknesses

Phill Davison is running for Stark County Treasurer. He begins to explain how he is a republican. Although, his information will help make voters decisions it is the way he is announces it. Phil gives many examples of Value Claim. He attaches a judgement to the subject of how the county is falling apart. He shares his opinion but others may believe it is fine. His audience member follow the peripheral route due to his high voice levels throughout the speech. The audience may pay more attention to his actions and the way he says them then what he is actually saying. Phill seems to use the same supporting arguments with each of his points. He also seems to only appeal to ones with the same values. Within his speech, he never really stats credible

As American voters have to make the important decision of who to vote for on November 8th, it is imperative for voters to become informed on the candidates, in both facts of policy and opinion, and of their respective personalities. Syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer takes advantage of this time of discovery and trial with the candidates, in his weekly columns to The Washington Post, where he both appeals to logos and utilizes allusions to expand on his political arguments.

In the article concerning Scott Angelle, the anonymous author discusses the background and political race of the politician. Scott Angelle has been involved in the political arena since the age of 25 and has proven to be hard-working and compassionate while caring for Louisiana. He has proven successful in his areas of service being selected twice by governors from different political parties and proving his ability to work with all. Angelle, a native of Louisiana values hard work and team work within our communities. He is a proud husband, father and grandfather which reinforces his belief that Louisiana is the best place to raise a family. He was appointed as secretary of the Department of Natural Resources and Chairman of the State’s Mineral Board. He was the first DNR Secretary to serve governors of different parties. One

Frank Rich maintains a critical tone throughout the entire article. His use of short sentences such as “Actually, no. People don’t change” and the word “minions” to describe Hilary Clinton in the first section shows his discontent with the candidate. Rich continues his critical tone as he discusses the other candidates. The use of words such as “bigoted”, “cowering”, and “off-the-wall” show that Rich is angry at the majority of the candidates. About half way through the article, there is a slight tonal shift in which Frank Rich briefly praises Clinton and Sanders. However, this quickly ends when he uses the phrase “But let’s get real here” and returns back to finding fault with each situation. At the end of the article, Rich censures the confederate

The candidate that choose to talk about is Rand Paul. While I do not agree with some of his policies. I do agree with his stance on criminal justice reform. He would try to create a judicial process for adults to seal their non-violent records. This currently prevents many people from finding employment. Which leaves them with the only option to commit crimes again. He would give judges the power to depart from mandatory minimums laws if they are on the best interest of the law. This is would be very beneficial for us since people make stupid mistakes sometimes and life in prison is way too severe. Also having a person sent to prison cost money, especially if they have serve a life sentence. He would restore voting rights of every non-violent

There is quite a bit of literature that discusses Goldwater 's loss to President Johnson in the 1964 presidential election. Today, I will discuss two articles in particular, “Vietnam and the 1964 Election” and “The Defeat of a Maverick.” They both conclude different reasons for Goldwater 's loss, but they also make some similar contentions. Both articles make the point of noting Goldwater 's militant rhetoric. In “The Defeat of a Maverick,” this militant style was seen as his central failing: he was rigidly conservative and had an “unrestrained manner,” (Matthews 662). In “Vietnam and the 1964 Election,” Goldwater 's unrestrained manner was cited as one of the reasons Johnson 's peace message and Vietnam promises were misconstrued.

Following a representative for a few months has revealed many unexpected things. The representative I chose to follow is Deb Fischer. There were many reasons why I chose to follow Deb Fischer. A few of those were that she cared strongly about health care, is a female, and owns her own ranching business. My life is mainly composed of those three things so I wanted to follow somebody that had a concern greater than mine on those topics. However, I do think that any of Nebraska’s representatives would have been a wonderful to follow, but I just felt more of a connection with Deb Fischer’s intentions.

Accordingly, the 2016 elections proved how increasingly irrelevant the Democratic Party finds itself in large swaths of the country. Likewise, more than a third of all House Democrats come from just three states: California, Massachusetts, and New York. This recently exacerbated problem was relayed by Congressman Ryan on an appearance of NBC’s “Meet the Press”. “It’s time to do something about it, not just talk about it,” he continued. “Because now we’re not even the national party. We’re a coastal party. And we’ve got to move forward. If we’re not going to get voters in Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, go back down south—when I first came to congress we had members from Tennessee. We have to go back there and campaign and get those folks

An examination of the voter turnout percentages of the U.S. presidential election demonstrates how the voter percentage was once around 80%, but has dropped to around 60% within the last century. (Appendix A). An examination of voter turnout by age demonstrates how the younger an individual is, the less likely they are to vote (Appendix B). According to the Center for Voting and Democracy, the voter turnout rate are affected by four main factors: demographics, voting laws, election types, and electoral representatives.

Imagine being called to fight, kill and even die for your country, on the other hand not being allowed to vote. Throughout most of American history, 18-year-olds fought in our wars, nevertheless, had to be 21 to vote. Granted that changed in 1971 when President Nixon certified the 26th Amendment, lowering the voting age to 18. The words of President Nixon, "The reason I believe that your generation, the 11 million new voters, will do so much for America at home is that you will infuse into this nation some idealism, some courage, some stamina, some high moral purpose, that this country always needs.” Voting arguably may be the most important civic opportunity given to citizens in the United States. Today, registering to vote remains the basic right of passage for most high school seniors. Reviewing this chart one can see that youth turnout has steadily declined since 1972, when 50 percent of 18 to 24 year olds voted. By 1988, youth voter turnout plummeted to 36 percent. 46 million young people ages 18-29 years old are eligible to vote. Involving young people in election-related learning, activities and discussion can have an impact on the young person’s household, increasing the likelihood that others in the household will vote. In immigrant communities, young voters may be easier to reach, are more likely to speak English, and may be the most effective messengers within their communities. Also, there are major differences in voter turnout amongst youth subgroups, which may persist as these youth get older if the gaps are not reduced. A growing body of research shows that new voters who vote twice are considerably more likely to continue voting for life. The challenge,

Donald Trump has certainly offended many Hispanics with his harsh talk of immigration, but on September 1st he took the first step to making amends by inviting Javier Palomarez, president of the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, to his Manhattan office for a meeting. Mr. Palomarez was pleasantly surprised with Trump’s cordial attitude, but still disapproved of his plan to build a wall along the border with Mexico and to deport millions of immigrants in the country illegally as he believes that such moves would severely cost the construction and hospitality industries, which rely on the labor of

Robinson’s activism in political theatre became most prevalent in the lead-up to the presidential nomination of Barry Goldwater, a Republican senator from Arizona. Goldwater adhered to a strict state’s rights position and despite being a Republican, voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Martin Luther King Jr. equivocated Goldwater succinctly in an address to fellow voters, stating, “While not a racist himself, Mr. Goldwater articulates a philosophy which gives aid and comfort to racists”, a prevailing thought that Goldwater shrewdly used his political prowess to manipulate anxious white voters who felt shunned by a changing Democratic party. Barry Goldwater was the anti-thesis of Jackie Robinson, as Robinson was able to effectively switch his political stances based off the issue of civil rights and Goldwater was effectively able to switch his stance based on stopping civil rights. Goldwater’s general brashness and thin-skinned demeanor provided a stark contrast to Robinson’s decade long insistence on respectful dialogue and understanding opposing

In the book “Dog Whistle Politics: How Coded Racial Appeals Have Reinvented Racism and Wrecked the Middle Class” by Ian Haney Lopez was a story about how racism has develop since the era of civil rights. The publisher of the book was by Oxford University Press and published in February 2014.

The piece by Fiorina studied the relationship between presidential and congressional vote shares and the perceived economic conditions of voters. In his piece, Fiorina aimed to answer the following question: do citizens vote for or against the incumbent president’s party as a function of their personal economic condition? He evaluated the answer to this question by reviewing election survey responses conducted by the University of Michigan concerning the presidential elections between 1956 and 1974. He found that found that there is probably some support for economic retrospective voting in presidential elections, but little to no support in congressional elections. However, Fiorina cautions the reader from dismissing the idea that retrospective voting is a major factor in congressional elections because there are “other issues in the world besides the economy” and “voters might be “reacting to these when they cast their congressional vote” (Fiorina, 440). This then begs the following question posited by Fiorina: why do voters hold the congressmen of the presidential party more responsible for some
