Rhetorical Analysis: Vote Against Trump
Vote against Trump for the countries sake
The Dallas Morning News broke with more than 75 years of tradition to endorse a Democrat for president, choosing Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump.
The Dallas Morning News’ editorial page is very, very conservative. It hasn’t endorsed a Democrat for president since Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1940. But the editorial went on to savage Trump:
"He plays on fear — exploiting base instincts of xenophobia, racism and misogyny — to bring out the worst in us, rather than the best. His serial shifts on fundamental issues reveal an astounding absence of preparedness. And his improvisational insults and midnight tweets exhibit a dangerous lack of judgment and impulse control."
Clinton, the editorial board wrote,

    In Charles Blow’s “Failing All Tests of the Presidency” (2017) he asserts his opinion that Trump is not acting as a true president and he is merely holding a place for an actual president to arrive and replace him. Blow communicates this by saying “Donald Trump is a man of flawed character and a moral cavity,” and “His interests center on the self; country be damned.” He exaggerates all of Trump’s flaws without regard to the truth that, maybe he has done something good while in office. He does this in attempts to force his hatred of Donald Trump onto others that might already not support him. Charles Blow employs his hatred of Trump and writes very controversial articles to everyone who is indifferent or not in support of Donald Trump.…

    I believe that Ted Cruz did very well in the debate tonight. He had good arguments and strategies for all questions asked, and debated very well with the other presidential candidates. He is now my favorite candidate. I specifically remember agreeing with him over over Rubio on how to deal with ISIS. He suggested a devastating carpet-bombing of the entire state, where Rubio suggested that we aid Muslims in a civil war against ISIS. I think that Rubio’s approach is a horrible idea because it would just make us more meddlesome and our issue more complicated. I also noticed how multiple republican candidates were subtly trying to put Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton in the same boat, by grouping them together in giving bad examples of policies…

    Dowd uses a sarcastic tone to emphasize and make what she is trying to say about Trump very clear. Her frequent use of sarcasm is used to not only point out President Trump’s flaws, but also to present them in negative light. In her February 11th column on political activism (“Trump’s Gold Lining”), Dowd states, “Trump has made facts great again. By distorting reality so relentlessly, he has put everyone on…

    Pathos one of the three modes of persuasion in rhetoric which is used to persuade an audience by appealing to a crowds emotions. Emotional appeal can be met in a series of ways such as through symbolism, humor, storytelling and constant references such as to undocumented Mexicans as Presidential Candidate Donald Trump has done over and over. Now this man is smart he is appealing to every emotion we have anger, frustration, pride you name it. Trump references constantly to the undocumented immigrants for the stack of America’s problems, like violence and economy troubles. Trump uses his ethos to discredit all undocumented workers by stating false accusations like categorizing illegal immigrants as violent, rapists, harm for the economy or job…

    If there can be any objection to the administration, it can be the general disdain it has for reality. The President of the United States of America has employed the highest offense possible; he attempts to promote contradictory ideas at the same time and hold that they complement each other. Trump’s most important example should be his tone on the campaign trail. Trump’s campaign was run on two violently opposing ideas: that America is a perfect nation, that America is God’s nation, that America is the savior and protector of the world, America has the perfect culture that all nations should adopt, and our soldiers are the strongest, our products are the best, our land is the most beautiful, and that all nations should be subservient to American…

    The final strategic error that Cruz suffered from was non-persuasive pathos. Pathos is employed in order to ignite emotion or feeling in an attempt to rally support. Cruz used effective descriptions and adjectives to employ pathos, but because of a lack of timeliness and empathy his pathos were not persuasive. At the beginning of his Prayer to France, Cruz effectively portrayed support and stood in solidarity with the people of Paris by asking God to, “lift up’, “comfort”, and “be with the people of Paris.…

    Well-known Sci-fi writer, Ray Bradbury, in his novel, Fahrenheit 451, illustrates that relationships reflect who individuals are and who they want to be. Bradbury’s purpose is to promote the idea that a person should have the courage to listen to their own beliefs and thoughts of happiness rather than to blend in with society. He adopts a disoriented and poetic tone in order to appeal to similar feelings and experiences on a non-realistic scale in his young adult readers.…

    Republicans U.S. Senator John Cornyn and U.S. House Representative Ralph Hall both have won each of their re-elections. If these two elected officials accurately represent Texas then hard-hitting conservatives seem to be what wins the hearts of Texans. Texas Congressional District 4 (TX-04) has proven their steadfast loyalty to Republican candidates (Texas Political Almanac, 2013) and it does not seem plausible that the Democratic Party will be able to overcome TX-04 or Texas as a state any time soon. Liberal democrats may have to stock up on political artillery if they intend to be a recognizable force on the political battleground of Texas.…

    A thanks almost wholly to mainstream media, the nation now has an up front and in your face version of the American political process. The unfortunate piece of that is that most Americans allow their minds to be made up by other people’s influence. The Fox News Channel was unofficially dubbed “The Bush Channel” during the 2004 elections and has been known for its conservative favored reporting. “Since its 1996 launch, Fox has become a central hub of the conservative movement 's well-oiled media machine” a comment by Seth Ackerman, a reporter for FAIR (Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting), embodies the bias in media that is found on today’s cable news networks. The same thing held true for the 2008 elections and McCain’s favoritism in the media; Fox News Channel was definitely on the side of McCain. I think that the shift…
