Trump’s attack was representative of many ad hominem attacks that are present within politics. The goal of an ad hominem attack is to draw the media attention away from a politician’s stance on certain issues and direct it toward an unrelated component of their identity. “Studies have shown that negative information is, "processed at a deeper level" than positive information.” (Election 2001.) These kind of attacks serve to put the attacker’s competitor on the defensive, having to protect themselves instead of actively campaigning about their policies. The victim of these ad hominem attacks are required to respond to these attacks before false information gains a foothold and ruins their chances of success. The continuing dialogue surrounding Trump’s threat to sue Ted Cruz shows the effectiveness of ad hominem attacks in the political sphere. Two months after Trump made this accusation media outlets are still discussing whether Cruz is eligible or not. This is the exact reason Trump attacked Cruz, he viewed him as his main competitor and is using birther theories against him.

Donald Trump announces his candidacy by insulting Mexicans and calling for a ban on Muslims. He went on to say that he would build this wall and MAKE Mexico pay for it. In his SO CALLED outreach to African-Americans, he insulted the Black Community with his disrespectful rhetoric. Trump didn’t stop there. His bullying on twitter against women, a Gold Star Family, the FBI, and people who don’t agree with him had been relentless until his aides took away his twitter account the last few days before election day. In his last debate with Hillary Clinton, he interrupted her by calling her a “Nasty Woman”, simply because she stated that he would pay more taxes under her administration if he didn’t find a way to get out of it. Trump thought because he was rich, arrogant, and egotistical that he could get away with bullying and

Donald Trump offered an Olive Branch to the Republican Establishment fearing him. From the opening bell, Trump called upon the party to unite around his candidacy. Trump cast himself as the leader of a movement that will make America Great, and rightfully so.

Recent remarks by Donald Trump are pretty dark. It was easy to shrug off when the celebrity first caught a lead in the primary polls. Media contributors casually called it an early election-cycle phenomena, with references to the Godfather of pizza Herman Cain and his brief rise and hard fall. All the usual caveats about primary battles occurring such a long way from Iowa have been made. Republican strategists brush it aside. “Trump is an entertainer, that gave him high name recognition and an instant following. Eventually, party loyalists will, respectfully, choose a more substantive candidate.”

Donald Trump has implied a desire to run for president on more than one occasion, but on June 16, 2015, he formally announced his candidacy for the 2016 presidential election (Ballotpedia, 2015). Trump is from New York City, New York and received his Bachelor of Science degree in Economics from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania (Politicks.org, 2015). Trump is a real estate developer, television personality, and author and his theatrics in the public and political arenas have created both fame and popularity (Politicks.org, 2015). Trump has shown moderate success since declaring his candidacy holding as much as 30.5% of the popular vote in polls, but currently holds 24.3% of the vote (Real Clear Politics.com, 2015). According to the website, On The Issues, Trump’s political stance is Right Conservative based on the twenty topics the site uses to determine political stance.

The 2016 primary election has been the most intriguing in modern history, mainly due to one candidate; Donald J. Trump. Before he won the general election, President-elect Donald J. Trump won the Republican primary. Since the day he announced his candidacy by riding down an escalator in Trump Tower, pundits and politicians didn’t seriously believe he had a chance. As the debates were held and the primaries went on, it became apparent that he had an actual chance of winning the nomination. The Republican primary showed that there was an anger toward traditional politicians, an anger which Donald Trump tapped into. The rise of Trump also showed that the old rules of what was acceptable to say do not apply any more. These and other factors lead me to the conclusion that the Republican party lost control of the 2016 primary election and failed to choose its eventual nominee.

Donald Trump has continued to rise in the polls while holding a very strong position. His numbers have proceeded to stay high in two important states: Iowa and New Hampshire. These states are the first two states to hold their primaries. Iowa and New Hampshire have remained Trump’s main focus as he tries to gain strong support from these two states. According to Politico, Trump currently has 28% of the votes in Iowa, beating out his second place opponent currently by 3%. While in New Hampshire, Trump has 29% of the votes and is beating his second place candidate by 14%. Both polls are taken by Public Policy Polly. Trump succeeding other primaries and going on to be the Republican presidential nominee is supported tremendously by these polls.

Presidential candidate Donald Trump has been recently accused my multiple women of sexual assault.

Lester Holt isn’t new to any of this reporter business. He was on and still is on a numerous of TV shows, and broadcasts. Holt didn’t really get in the middle of Clinton and Trump’s mess, he just did what he was supposed to do. But at times he got off topic, getting too deep into the arguments, which he did get yelled at for that by both candidates. But in contrast, when the candidates got off topic, Holt was quick to put them back on task. To be honest, I have no idea how he did it. I couldn’t be that close to either one of them and not say anything. Just watching the debate in my dorm room, the things they were saying made me talk to the TV. I don’t know how us as a country are going to be able to survive with either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton as our president. But regardless, in my opinion I think he did a great job with dealing with these two

MSNBC made sure to talk about these points when discussing the debate. During “The Rachel Maddow Show,” Maddow attributed Trump’s event cancellation to him being “pooped” and “tired.” She then showed several clips of Trump saying how long the debate was and that he was surprised that he could stand for so many hours.

He brought up how the United States of America is “the highest taxed nation in the world” (NY Times). However, the tables were turned when Clinton took fire back stating that “Trumps tax plan would add 5 trillion to the debt and cost the economy jobs” (ABC News).

When he began his campaign for President, Donald Trump might have seemed like the possibility of a nightmare you would never experience. But with Ted Cruz withdrawing from the race, and Bernie Sanders( who polls cited as having the greatest chance against Trump in the General Election) far behind Hillary Clinton, we must now seriously accept the fact that Donald Trump may very well have a fighting chance to become the next President of the United States.

The 2016 Presidential Election is considered by many to be ridiculous and unprofessional. Candidates, such as Donald Trump, have acted poorly to constituents, and even to other candidates by personally attacking them, not on their record, but on their life.
