The Democratic Debate on Tuesday, October 13 was set to be a great Las Vegas show. It was doubtful that this debate would be anywhere near as fun to watch as the Republican debate with it’s over the top characters Trump, Fiorina, Christie and Bush but it did give an important idea where these particular candidates stand on issues that worry the everyday American. Anderson Cooper introduced the candidates as they took the stage - Chafee, O’Malley, Clinton, Sanders, and Webb. As the candidates introduced themselves and Cooper starts the debate with an awesome question to Clinton, “Will you say anything to get elected?” Clinton explains that any changes in her positions have more to do with learning more about the issues and that as a progressive candidate she likes to get things done. Cooper then asks Sanders how a socialist can win the election and Sanders immediately …show more content…
Sanders explained that as a young man he objected to the policy and respected those that fought for our country. Interestingly, illegal immigration, a hot topic of the Republican debate, barely rated a comment. Of course, marijuana use was also discussed and then the candidates talked about who probably hated them the most. Webb’s response about someone in Vietnam trying to kill him but not being around today was a bit creepy. After watching the Democratic debate, it was obvious that the debate was nothing less than the Hilary Clinton’s show and the other candidates are just there to make her look smarter and more qualified to lead this country. Personally, I think this will be an easy nomination win for Clinton unless the remaining candidates develop better positions and begin to talk specifics about what they believe will help make this country a better stronger for
Webb complete his remarks with a blistering attack on Bush’s conduct of the Irak war. Bush, Webb said , “took North American country into this war recklessly” and therefore the nation was currently
As depicted in this book Hillary’s campaign administrator, Robby Mook who fixated the Clinton operation on information investigation (data about voters, given to him by number crunchers) instead of more out-dated techniques for surveying, thumping on entryways and endeavoring to influence undecideds committed one vital error after another, however was continued by Clinton, in spite of her own doubts. "Mook had committed the close lethal errors of thinking little of Sanders and putting nothing right on time in the back end of the essential timetable," Parnes and Allen compose, and the campaign appeared to gain little from Clinton's initial
During the second GOP debate Jeb Bush wanted an apology from opposing running mate Donald Trump because Trump made some rude comments towards immigration and Bush’s wife, who is from Mexico. This is bad media and one should be avoided because this is a very trivial matter in the presidential race. However, when using digital media it easy to get off the article and find a better more informative source.
Presidential candidates should answer how they truly feel and what they know about a topic instead of dodging or attacking the question like an ex-girlfriend. We Americans put our faith in the president to keep the country flourishing, safe, and great. In this democratic debate, Hillary Clinton used the red herring fallacy and the ad hominem fallacy. In the end, everyone can see right through her answers. All that people have to do is pay attention to how she answered these questions and they would be able to understand they are
By restraining the influence of the government on daily life, the United States will be able to return to the great nation of freedom; a nation in which its founding fathers so vehemently fought to build. Similarly, politics should not be controlled strictly according to political parties, and Coolidge urged people to support the values they believe in, not a certain political party. In today’s world, I think many politicians would benefit from acting in the way of doing the right thing, rather than supporting sides merely based on political affiliation. For this reason, I am passionate about educating myself as much as possible to candidates beliefs, and I look forward to being able to take part in my first elections in coming
Overall, I thought all of debaters did a really good job, but I thought Ellerie Baer from the opposition really did an excellent job. She really laid out that the campaign is about winning not the presidency and that “common good” is a subjective thought. Overall, her point that campaigns are meant to convince ideally not morally was really influential to
I personally feel I am more of a Democrat than a Republican. American Politics The two major political parties of the United States are the Democrats and the Republicans. There are also third parties such as the Constitution party, the Green party, the Independent party, and the Libertarian party. The Democratic and the Republican Party constantly compete with each other trying to promote their political ideals and searching the means for maintaining their continuous political leadership.
In an attempt to persuade and gain voters for Bernie Sanders in the November 2016 election, Bernie’s campaign created a TV advertisement using different tactics. Bernie is running for the Democratic party in the election. By connecting to different audiences and stating his political positions, Bernie builds himself up by using ethos and pathos. The first is that Bernie is trying to reach as many voters as possible, young and old, by making claims that appeal to both sides.
Until now America still has a two-party system which are the Republican and Democratic parties. Both parties must have their own supporters. Like the Republican Party that mostly supported by among white people and democrats tend to be supported by blacks. Democratic Party position itself is based on the principles of liberalism, while the Republican position itself to be conservative. Of course the party itself must have certain roles and functions within the political system of the United States.
Last of all, debates in the past have also helped us determine the next president because of how the candidate acts during the debates and how they respond to the questions. ’’During the second debate between President Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter … Ford botched a line about Soviet influence in Eastern Europe. “There is no Soviet domination of Eastern Europe,” said Ford … Ford’s answer was at complete odds with the reality of the Cold War.
Throughout history it was obvious that the key to a good presidential campaign was a good slogan. Each election year something new and unseen came up about the candidates that made them increasingly entertaining, and occasionally impactful. From mud slinging to parades, from taunting to ignoring, each political candidate had an interesting year that is left down in history for all to wonder about what they were thinking. Tippecanoe and Tyler Too (William Henry Harrison 1840) This crazy slogan is actually incredibly influential.
Republicans vs. Democrats When the United States of America was founded, George Washington warned against the formation of political parties. By the time the second election came around there were already two political parties, the Federalist and Democratic-Republicans. These parties eventually turned into the Republican and Democratic parties we have today. While these parties have shifted to become almost polar opposites politically, they still share some common goals.
Just yesterday, the presidential candidates, Democratic Congressman Matthew Santos and Republican Senator Arnold Vinick squared off in a live debate moderated by Forrest Soyer. During Vinick’s opening statement, the candidates decide to forgo the negotiated rules in favor of a less constricting debate format. The two address multiple current topics, some of which include: gun control, illegal immigration, tax cuts, health care, and foreign debt relief. Gun control has become an upfront issue due to increases in mass shootings. Vinick believes otherwise.
However, Hillary Clinton being the guest speaker in the discussion, she finds herself taking much time talking than the
