Chris Cristie is a Hot-head of Vision

Chris Christie’s level of popularity is very low because of not gaining people’s attention, not backing up his words, and not competing. Gaining people’s attention with actions and speeches was something he was lacking, and he never stood out in any important decisions he made. Being known for something he did that was very important to the whole United States is something he haven’t done yet. Many years before he became government, he has dealt with terrorism and it was a major part of his career at the time (Elliot). Not backing up his words also brought attention and supporters away from him, he has been caught up in a lie plenty of times and according to media, people are fed up with that. Another problem with Chris Christie is that he does not know how to compete to standout. Chris Christie’s level of competiveness is very low. Chris Christie has never been competitive and is one of the main reasons he is not a good

Chris Christie just endorsed the Donald. Even after Christie is on camera saying he doesn't want an entertainer as a president and also they evidently ran against each other. John Harwood which seems to be a Federalist said the reason for the recent endorsement is “The both really like the spotlight.” They say that they also have the same view on Hillary Clinton and Christie thinks Trump has the best plans to beat her. The next topic of discussion was Trump and the other two Candidates Rubio and Cruz. Rubio and Cruz during the last debate kept throwing punches at Trump. Susan Davis a Congressional Reporter for NPR which is leading to the left side of the room says “This needed to be happening five to six months ago.” The majority of the speakers

Which presidential candidate leads the polls? Does belligerent racism personify Trump? Does Hillary have what it takes to deal with her Benghazi baggage? Does Bush have daddy issues? Does Carson pop sleeping pills? Does Sanders have a mind as crazy as his hair? Often, these topics lead to heated debates about who will truly make America great again. The media constantly divulges about “[the] Baggage, the Gaffes and the Billionaires” of the upcoming election (Dickinson and Kelley), and with the 2016 presidential election around the corner, the topic of politics has become a bullet nearly impossible to dodge. Maureen Dowd a disputatious Op-Ed columnist for the New York Times cajoles and educates her audience through the use of emotional appeals, a polemic writing style to argue controversial topics, as well as a dauntless and sardonic tone appealing to the audience, in order to convince the readers of her tenacious viewpoints against political leaders while also captivating and further informing the public about the political parties.

Gail Collins, an American writer known for writing under the opinion pages for the The New York Times, has turned the recent presidential debate, into something comical. In Gail’s most recent articles, “How Could Anyone Vote for Trump”, “The Dark Days of Donald Trump”, “Don’t Take Donald Trump to Dinner”, and “The Debate in One Scary Answer”, her purpose is to show that Donald Trump is not qualified to become the next president of the United States. In these four articles, her audience is the general educated reader that will be voting in the 2016 presidential election. Gail Collins has a recurring pattern of using the rhetorical modes; illustration and description. In addition, she uses the rhetorical strategies; metaphor, dialogue, and contrast

Chapter 22 focuses on Haley Barbour’s rise to political fame. I found it interesting that Nash and Taggart chose to talk about Barbour’s background in addition to his time spent as governor. While I have always admired Governor Barbour’s political prowess, I did not know much about his passion for politics before reading this book. Chapter 22 gave me a newfound respect for Barbour because I was able to see that he was not a “political opportunist” like so many other politicians are today. The chapter humanized Barbour and portrayed him as a life-long student of politics which is what I wish to be. In essence, I think that Barbour’s rise through the ranks of the Republican Party is the path that all politicians should take because it is one that requires

With 2017 quickly coming to an end, the congressional and governor races are heating up. One race that is flying under the radar is the New Jersey 5th congressional district election. Democratic incumbent Josh Gottheimer is bracing up for what should be a hotly contested seat. As a New Jersey native, I have a keen sense of the type of people that Gottheimer needs to reach out to. The New Jersey 7th district, where I am from, is not much different than that of the 5th. Both are wealthy areas that tend to vote Republican. The Democratic Party has had a setback, especially with the 2016 presidential election, but Gottheimer is one bright spot that they cannot afford to lose. In order to retain his seat, which I believe he will, Josh

In this documentary by Marshall Curry, the audience follows the campaign and everyday reality of Cory Booker. Curry addresses several very interesting aspects of Booker, his opponent, and the harsh reality inside some political campaigns. Wasserman draws similar conclusions and reiterates several main points in his book, The Basics of American Politics. Wasserman states that "Power may involve force (often called coercion), persuasion, or rewards. But its essence is the ability to change another's actions" ( Wasserman 3). He points out that one of the main aspects of politics is having power over a group of individuals and influencing them to do something that they may or may not necessarily want to do. In the case of the 2002 election for mayor in Newark, New Jersey, Sharpe James uses his power to manipulate the people of Newark to believe lies, rumors, and outrageous accusations about Booker. James has been mayor of Newark for 32 years and uses his superior role to threaten or force people to not only vote for him but to

The title is At Republican Debate, Candidates Are Likely to Set Sights on Ted Cruz, written by Jonathan Martin and Maggie Haberman issued on December 14, 2015. Many controversial topics have defined the previous Republican debates with Donald Trump currently leading in the polls. This article characterizes possible tactics for the final Republican debate. The subject matter of this article deals with potential Republican presidential candidates. Candidates must attack Donald Trump if they want a chance of taking him over in the polls. Some facts are based on state reporting and opinions on debate tactics. The editor does attempt to appeal to his readers' emotions by highlighting voter's concerns and issues including terrorism,

Other than Christie utilizing pathos well, Christie uses logos to back up his emotional and ethical beliefs about his past and the country’s past, present, and future. He once again brings up his family, however this time he uses facts to emphasis what they went through. Christie explains, “It was my mom and dad on the day that my dad graduated Rutgers in June of 1962. It was the first person in either one of their families to get a college degree and it was the first family picture because she was 6 months

This demonstrates Murphy’s initiative in fixing the economy through various beneficial solutions. Doing so he will be helping the people of New Jersey by lowering property taxes which individuals can finally be relieved to hear. Murphy also wants to be more strict with spending on transit to ensure that the roads and bridges are functional rather than crowded with tolls. Personally, I think this is very efficient because these two factors make New Jersey very expensive to live in lowering and being more strict will slowly bring back a better economy. Murphy wants to grow the economy so that it makes it fairer for the New Jersey residents due to the state being ranked last or near last in growth and inequalities. He states, “We need an economy that works for all New Jerseyans not just the special interests, I flat out reject the ‘us versus them’ approach to our economy, it is time we get back to thinking about ‘we’” (Phil Murphy). Murphy wants to achieve this by raising the wage to $15 an hour, ensure equal pay for equal work, and make millionaires and corporations pay their fair share of taxes. If this is successfull than the economic standing that New Jersey holds will soon rise from the bottom to the top. At the

This essay is about the Illinois Mayoral Race 2017, particularly the race on Aurora. This was a hotly contested race among the candidates in the different counties and cities in the country. Most candidates were running independent, but the two political parties – Democrats and Republican – were also represented. The specific office that I am studying is the post of the mayor in Aurora, Illinois. The term of the mayor will start on May 01, 2017 and will end on May 01, 2021. The mayoral race is a contest between candidates of distinct ethnic origins – African American, Filipino, and Hispanic. This is considered the first in Aurora history (Crosby).

This type of reassurance further validates Governor Christie’s willingness to keep promises and ensure the best for our State when it comes to education. In January, during his annual State of the State Address, Governor Christie

The election of Donald Trump exposed the depths of division in America today, and the duration of his presidency, no matter how long, will be a true test of this nation. No doubt, we are about to step onto the longest roller coaster ride of most of our lives, and none of us lined up for it. Nonetheless, this is our reality now. All that is left to do is deal with it.

In this article, I could not help but feel Christie was taking a very pessimistic look at things. The way things are described, such as the court house in Scandinavia. He described

I think what makes Chris so likable and memorable to all these people is that he always seemed wise. As explained from some of the people he met, he wasn’t the normal hitchhiker and they were able to tell. They could tell that this guy was intelligent and there was always more to his story then they were being told. I think many of the people he met were intrigued by Chris because it’s like he was a mystery and they just wanted to learn more and more about him. Another quality of Chris that makes him so likable is how hardworking he was. He always worked to the best of his ability, whether he was working at McDonald’s or at a grain elevator. Also I believe, many of the people Chris encountered were so interested in him because he reminded them
