In Trump Runs Free , Richard Lowry argues that the way the polls are currently going Donald Trump will only gain more support, and not be stopped. Lowry uses a sarcastic and almost annoyed tone when referring Trump winning in New Hampshire, and the people who support him. Lowry shares political strategies and refers to past elections to support his view. In his column Lowry appeals to an audience who also has similar conservative views and ideals, along with those who wish to put an end to Trumps reign; especially Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio supporters. Richard Lowry does an excellent job of portraying his opinion of Trumps recent success through the use of many analogies.
Lowry begins the column with exaggeration, stating that Trump crushed the board in New Hampshire, results presidential nominees usually receive. He moves on to insult the supporters of Trump saying he is being voted for due to their “lazy complacency”. Lowry places emphasis on Trumps current victories noting that the issue is not Trump fading out, it is him being stopped. He does this to show severity and point out the level of achievement Donald Trump has received. Trump is now true competition. Lowry decides to use slang to mention the relationship Trump and Cruz used to

Lowry does this in hopes that history will not repeat itself. He goes on to use a metaphor insulting the curent state of the Republican party “Republican electorate is dry tinder for a cleansing populist fire”. In saying so he adds to the urgency for Republicans to vote Trump out. Lowry refers to the past election with McCain claiming he was “dismantled piece by piece” he uses this figurative language to express severity. He also likes to use political terms such as “Bush machine” only something people who know about politics would understand. Lowry continues by asking a rhetorical question to get the reader thinking “will there be such a campaign against
Abigail Girard Mrs. Rolfs AP Language 16 October 2016 Eugene Robinson in the article, Trump May Be Worse Than Just a Pig, explains that Republican nominee for President is an angry sexual predator who uses his fame and wealth to get what he wants, and is losing supporters daily. Robinson supports his suggestion by first explaining how some republicans have abandoned Trump because of a recent tape released of Trump using vulgar words to describe what he does to women; this has made it impossible to pretend that the party has nominated a candidate that could be worthy of presidency. He then claims that Trump is always in a constant rage which causes him to make irrational decisions. Lastly, the author describes how some women have sued Trump,
“My purpose is to be president,” Kasich responded. “And those who are wondering about Donald Trump, if I go head to head with him in Ohio, I beat him by 18 points. I intend to go all the way, I intend to be the nominee, and I intend to beat Hillary Clinton by more than 11 points.” Kelly pressed on to question Kasich’s candidacy asking if he stealing votes from candidates that had a better chance of beating Trump. “I’m not sure who those people are but people counted me out, they said you know, he will never get to New Hampshire and we went to New Hampshire and we finished second,” Kasich said.
When an author is writing an article, they use techniques and devices to prove and emphasize their main argument. A few examples of these techniques are a metaphor, contrast, personal narrative, alliteration, and anecdotes. Almost all authors use these techniques to transmit their message to their readers. In JD Vance’s article, How Donald Trump Seduced the White Working Class, the author uses specific techniques to convince the readers about the life of the white poor Americans. To begin with, in How Donald Trump Seduced the White Working Class, JD Vance uses personal narrative to convey the theme of the life of the white poor Americans.
The general argument made by author Michael Finnegan in his work “Republican Party 's Disruption Laid Bare in Trump 's Nevada Victory”, is that people are using their power to spread their opinions and are putting others in danger because of it. More specifically, the author argues that politicians are manipulating people and abusing their power to gain power. The author writes, “With a dash more bravado than usual, he reminded his national audience ... of his signature pledge to bill Mexico for an $8-billion border wall. “They’ll pay for the wall, they’ll be very happy about it, believe me,” Trump said. “I’ll talk to them.
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. The Republican candidates that participated in this debate included Ohio governor John Kasich, former governor of Arkansas Mike Huckabee, former Florida governor Jeb Bush, Florida senator Marco Rubio, business man Donald Trump, retired surgeon Ben Carson, former HP CEO Carly Fiorina, Texas senator Ted Cruz, New Jersey governor Chris Christie, and Kentucky senator Rand Paul. 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.
Presidential election brings a lot of attention to candidates running for the office and public is listening and watching every move they are making. Public is also analyzing their thought process. News and media is analyzing their moves and trying to break it down for public. This year’s presidential election is nothing less and candidates have been under fire. San Jose Editorial group is also breaking down stands of this year’s candidates.
He also uses philosophical ideas not of his own, to take away the opportunity for one to assume it is just part of his opinion. The use of rhetorical questions is so effective because it is not a clear right or wrong it gives the audience opportunity to explore the gray area in between in their minds. When speaking on themes of hatred, jealousy and scapegoating, Sterling compares them to, “infectious and contagious viruses that have bled humanity over the years. But because they have been and are, is it necessary that they shall be?” (Sterling, A Most Non-Political Speech)
In his untitled gun control and gun rights cartoon, Chris Britt establishes an accusatory tone using critical irony and a macabre diction to condemn the national threat disregarded by the Republican Party for ignorantly advocating unregulated licensing of guns. Chris Britt evidently displays, in his work, a frustrated sentiment towards the American federal government, specifically addressing the Republican Party. Deliberately, Chris Britt labeled the gun store as “GOP Guns and Gore” and highlighting that the store is “Open 24-7”. Bluntly, Britt specified “GOP” (“Grand Old Party”), interchangeably corresponding to the Republican Party, to emphasize his personal disdain against their party platform. Indisputably, through irony, Chris Britt exhibits
Everyone wants the truth and with Leonard Pitts Jr. you get it. Pitts writes for the Miami Herald daily newspaper in southern Florida. His style is very unique in all of his writings, and different from other authors. Pitts mostly focuses on the outbreak of the daily news. For instance, Don’t Lower The Bar on Education Standards is strictly states lowering the bar will not fix anything it will only decrease the standards.

Trump has been considered the worst president in history, therefore he should be impeached. (Thesis) Donald Trump has been called out for his ridiculous statements, overconfidence and prejudice beliefs.
Argument On Argument - “Stay Sane America, Please!” In his op-ed, “Stay Sane America Please!” author David Brooks reasons that presidential primaries have become more of a playground for the DNC and RNC (GOP) rather than a serious political event. For example, Brooks makes the fair point that even if a candidate such as Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, and Bernie Sanders “can sweep Iowa and New Hampshire,” they still have to be “broadly acceptable to all parts of the party” to win the nomination (3). Backed up by previous election results, this shows that Brooks believes that even though these candidates are supported by their national committees, they will not be able to win the primaries due to the views of voting citizens, making the efforts
The image on the front cover of the Texas Monthly magazine depicts a true image of Texas politics, the current governor of Texas Greg Abbott and media communication about politics. Since images speak for themselves, we get the idea of what the picture is about without guessing. For example, we see Governor Abbott holding a rifle, and presume that he supports gun rights and is a Republican rather than a Democrat. Since the majority of Republicans support gun rights for protection, whereas the majority of Democrats believe in gun control. We can also see that Governor Abbott poses a confident and poised demeanor which tells us he cares about Texas, he looks ready to accept any challenge, looks modest and has pride in himself, but not in an egotistic and domineering manner, and he also seems confident to be a leader.
On November 8, 2016, Donald Trump stunned the nation when he defeated the Democratic candidate, Hillary Clinton, in the presidential election, causing many Americans to fear the future of the United States. Shortly after, news broke that Russia had hacked into the Democratic National Convention and released Clinton’s private e-mails. Many citizens, especially Democrats, became enraged and were convinced that the Russian hacking scandal is the reason Trump was able to win the election. Sean Delonas—an acclaimed political cartoonist who has worked twenty-three years with the New York Post—published this cartoon on January 6, 2017, amidst continuous hacking speculation. Through his use of cleverly thought out visual rhetoric, Delonas employs
In a formal discussion on a particular topic in a public meeting or legislative assembly, in which opposing arguments are put forward, a debate is formed. One debate, the Presidential Debate, is focusing on one question what makes a good president? The two candidates, one of which will soon be the President, uses a mix of eye contact and physical movement to get the audience's attention and show what they mean and what they are feeling they also use things like pathos, ethos, logos, the rhetorical analysis and fallacies to help support their debate. In the Presidential Debate, both candidates use rhetorical analysis, such as ethos (Credibility) in their responses to the questions that they were given by the audience.
In my paper, I will analyse Donald Trump’s political activities before and after the election to get an objective viewpoint of America’s President. We’ll start off with the history of Trump, both personal and political, to see whether there was some sort of significant development over the years indicating a tendency towards ‘good or evil’. Next, we will take a look at what Donald Trump promised to do – the wall, lowering taxes and repealing Obamacare to name a few – and evaluate if he managed to keep his election pledges. This success rate is a major factor in definitively assessing Trump’s influence on America.
