    535 Words  | 3 Pages

    In his article, “Dude, Where’s My Policy?”, economist and columnist, Paul Krugman argues that the initial uproar and fear that many intellectual liberals felt immediately after Trump’s election should be abandoned on the basis of Trump’s lackluster domestic policy development. Krugman instead champions the idea that Trump will be an ineffective President. By minimizing the effect of Trump’s presidency on the long term political climate Krugman comforts an audience of his peers who fear the world that Trump’s presidency will create. Krugman begins his article with a comedic tone to express his frustration with Trump and establish camaraderie with his audience:“What Trump has done or tried to do over the past two years-wait it’s really only been two weeks?-is incredibly bad”(1).

While many of the ventures proved to be drains on his wallet, others such as his hotels gave him money in which to tout. The man eventually moved from New York to Los Angeles, where the people more closely resembled his style of flattery for influence. There he became a reality T.V. star, in his show “The Apprentice”.

    The Gary Johnson Campaign has been trying to represent itself as the better option than the “lesser of two evils choice.” In order for this to work Johnson has been using appeal to logos as his primary appeal to voters. The intended effect is for voters to see that Johnson is using facts and data to backup his claims instead of the Clinton-Trump approach of appeal to pathos. Almost all of Gary Johnson’s arguments have appeal to logos somewhere in them. This approach takes much more time to accomplish because of the amount of fact-checking that has to be done.

    In presidential elections, campaigns play a major role in bringing in the viewer’s attention and hopefully lead them to vote for the particular candidate. Almost all campaigns include forms of persuasion: ethos, used to show a level of authority and title, logos, used to demonstrate a capacity of knowledge, and also pathos, used to target the viewer’s emotions.

Therefore, in this paper I argue how the use of cues and advertisements in primary elections could greatly contribute to a candidate’s position in presidential elections.
