Rhetorical Devices Used In Presidential Elections

906 Words4 Pages

This years presidential debate was the last hope for either candidates to win over the heart’s of voters. This years race to be president has been filled with many different characters. Twenty three candidates in total to be exact. The final candidates being for the republican party Donald Trump, and for the democratic party Hillary Clinton. They both went back and forth at each other making sly remarks, and stating the facts to upgrade their candidacy stock. Trump bringing up Hillary’s email situation and Hillary putting Trump on blast for not paying his federal taxes. To make themselves clear on what they stood for, they made detailed explanations backed up by highly credible evidence. Each candidate both used rhetorical devices to persuade their followers to agree on the ideas they had to fix problems within the country and they used logic fallacies to inaccurately convince their followers. Both candidates made more statements directed towards each other than they did on what they actually stood for. Though they still gave their standings on problems across the country. Hillary made the point that communities need to be brought back together again in cities like Chicago primarily for the reason to reduce the murder rate. She also included that we need to get guns out of the hand’s of people who …show more content…

It will be well known for the very conversional candidates and then who actually won the voting. Both candidates strongly state their positions on problems throughout the United States with well supported evidence. Though I think they both also state how they feel about each other and that has become a problem through this election process. Both candidates sounded very convincing and it will be very interesting to see who is chosen come election day. Fifty years from now people will look back and think how crazy of a debate it was and even think the choice of commander in chief was a bit insane as

    There was a belief in the past that elections resolved big debates in the country and could be turning points of what the public thinks about the issues. But this did not transpire in 2012 and Balz sees the future of elections to be more of the same: he expects that they will be predicated on hate of the opponent divided along demographic and party lines, not the merits of the candidates and their policies; he predicts social media and technology as a whole to grow in importance and scope; and he believes debates will become more important while becoming less and less about the issues and more about

  • Donald Tump Rhetorical Analysis

    180 Words  | 1 Pages

    The start I agree that both parties are wrong to think that election is stupid or meaningless. Another topic that I agree on is that Trump shouldn 't have won the Republican vote but but some other and better Republican. Another big topic that involves Donald is his Twitter account and thinking that some people really care what he is thinking about. He is either making people agree with him or other people that don 't agree with him and get pissed. Donald Tump probably doesn 't even notice that his approval rating have dropped by a lot.

    Extra Credit: CNBC GOP Presidential Debate CNBC’s GOP Presidential Debate this year was held at the University of Colorado at Boulder, and the moderators focused their questions greatly on the economy, current national budget, tax reforms, immigration policies and their disagreements with the Democratic party.

With tensions growing between candidates and political parties, I feel that the moderators for this debate seemed to personally attack the candidates when questioning their reasoning behind their answers.

    The turmoil, upheaval, and controversy of the 2016 Trump election is a significant current event of the modern world, but this landslide election is not the first in America’s history to raise such conflicting opinions. The Revolution of 1800 was another shift in political history that impacted not only the candidates, but majority of the public. The defeat of John Adams to Vice President Thomas Jefferson led to the rise of the Democratic-Republican Party rule and the eventual demise of the Federalist Party. Often in politics, opposing views, scandals, and negative publicity plays a role in the election process, due to this, in both the 2016 election and 1800 election negative criticism from both parties was evident.

    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.
