Hilary Clinton's End

Liberal leaning New York Times (NYT) columnist Charles M. Blow, in his op-ed, "No, Trump, We Can’t Just Get Along", recounts Trumps tirade of controversial, racist and bigoted proclamations which dominated the 2016 presidential campaign season. His column ranked 21 out of 100 of NYT’s most-read articles in 2016 (New York Times). Blow's purpose is to give his mostly liberal audience permission to reject President-elect Trump’s dismissive attitude about his record and additionally, to convey that message of rejection to his colleagues in the media who appear complacent about holding Trump accountable. He adopts an angry chastising tone to establish himself as an authority and to appeal to similar feelings of his readers.

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

November 8, 2016. As the clock ticked from day to dust, the American population sat down to the conclusion of the forty fifth presidential election. Within moments, the fate of the nation was broadcasted into the homes and hearts of millions. For the some, the results of the election bought upon a sense of joy and excitement. However, for the other half of America’s citizens, hearing the call for Trump to presidency emitted feelings of sadness, disappointment, and above all else, confusion. How did a multi-billionaire businessman defeat a former First Lady of the United States and Secretary of State to become the president on the United States? In fact, how did a man of such little constitutional knowledge obtain the amount of political attention

The entire editorial board at the New York times decided to cooperate on an op-ed piece covered on Donald Trump concerning his post election actions and decisions. The Op-Ed was titled “What President Trump Doesn’t Get About America” and was published on the New York Times on January 20, 2017. The rhetorical situation behind the piece is the after-effects of Mr. Trump's official inauguration which took place on the same date the Op-Ed was published. The author's purpose and intended audience is to inform and persuade the American people that America was and will be fine even with some of the so-called harsh executive decisions of Trump.

Even though Evan Osnos has been a credible writer for The New Yorker for many years I as many others, have never heard of him. For this assignment I wanted to use the articles of a talented writer that is not as recognized as they should be and when I had the topic I wanted in mind I looked up articles about it and stumbled upon his most famous piece of writing “President Trump’s First Term.” I dived in deeper in his column and decided that I wanted to use his articles because we have the same opinions and I like his factual kind of writing. There weren’t as many difficulties writing the rhetorical analysis but I don’t believe I did as well on the explaining of strategies I identified as I would have wanted to. A success I experienced was getting

As of November 8th, 2016, Donald Trump is the 45th president elect of the United States. As much as this is a defeat, or victory for a numerous amount of citizens across America ,that is not exactly what this is about. I’m here to say shame on you. If it wasn’t already apparent, your chosen establishment candidate, Hillary Clinton was one painted in scandal, dishonesty, secrecy, and unpopularity. I can’t imagine why you, the democratic establishment, felt it would be wise to practically ignore the grassroot progressive movement occurring right in front of your eyes. It wasn’t an anomaly, it was a symptom of something much larger. It was a sign that the people of America wanted something different, as they did in 2008 when they supported President Obama with the aspirations of “Hope and Change”. This selfish of choice of yours was a complete betrayal of the people who have supported you over the decades.

Molly Ball’s uses of argumentative techniques were effective in her article, “There’s Something About Bernie.” With the article written while people's interest in Sanders is rising, the timing aspect of Kairos is fit. It’s written early enough in the election that it’s still a persuadable moment for many, with many people still in a state of uncertainty and willing to change their minds. The article is set up with an introduction of the topic, followed by a narration of the speaker’s time with Sanders, and then proof of his popularity using experiences seeing his crowds of supporters. Refutation follows after that, with the views of those who oppose him discussed, and finally, a conclusion. The style uses proper language, clarity, vividness, decorum, and ornament. This style is used to portray scenarios with storytelling of the experiences that express the excitement Sanders has generated.

     Perhaps one of the most interesting times in a president’s administration is during the end of his term in office. Having reached the ultimate goal in a politician’s career, a president no longer has to worry about public opinion or any of the other political give and takes that usually influence a politician’s actions. He is truly free to act as he pleases almost free of consequences. Bill Clinton’s final days in office certainly demonstrated this fact. Using the ultimate unchecked executive power of clemency Clinton issued over 140 pardons and thirty six sentence commutations. He protected over a million acres of land through the creation of six new national monuments. He also nominated nine new federal

Hilary Clinton, current Democratic Presidential Nominee, used a variety of literary tools in her acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention. When listening to her speech one will notice will notice the strong development of pathos and ethos in order to appeal to her audience’s emotions. She

In the history of the United States, the 2016 election cycle is the 57th presidential election, yet it could be the strangest of them all. In contrast, the 2012 election between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney was a relatively tame and mundane election. It was decided by two elements, just as the 2016 election will be decided by. Choice, both by the media and the candidates is one ingredient to determine the outcome of elections. Chance similarly affects election outcomes, though chance deals with environmental factors which candidates cannot control. First, I will briefly explore Sides and Vavreck’s theory in The Gamble. After exploring their theory, I will use their theory to look at the 2016 Democratic primary and assess whether or not it is useful when applied to primaries or if the theory only pertains to the general election. Finally, I will then apply their theory to the 2016 general election to predict the most likely outcome where Hilary Clinton is the next president of the United States. Looking at Sides and Vavreck’s theory and applying it to the current electoral environment, it will become clear that Hilary Clinton will win the Democratic nomination for president and subsequently the general election as well to become the first female president of the United States.

I recently read a publication on the Huffington Post website titled “Donald Trump’s New Anti-Abortion Letter Should Terrify You”. When the web page loaded I immediately saw it was categorized as a blog. Knowing only the genre and the title, I was skeptical. How could a blog be about something so serious? Rebecca Traister proved me wrong. She discussed her opinions on Donald Trump’s new letter regarding abortion regulations. Getting into more detail, she then explained his ideas for new laws, his attacks on opposing ideas and dabbled on a well known anti-abortion activist being the leader of his “Pro-Life Coalition”. In this essay I will provide an analysis of the rhetorical factors and choices made by the author.

N, R. Kleinfield’s article “New York Reactions to Trump Inauguration: Fear and Prayer” gives insight to the response of the citizens of New York as they watched the inauguration of President Donald Trump. The article highlights the split between the 79% of people who voted for Clinton, and the 21% who voted for Trump. The majority of people saw it as a somber day, one that deserved either no attention at all, or one that caused large grievances. Citizens would ignore the address, bow their heads in silence, and some would weep from sorrow. On the other hand, others viewed him as a beacon of hope. They had the “If he can do it, I can too” mentality. People saw themselves in Trump, and he gave them hope that he could reshape the world.

Joe Nocera starts of the article with two telegraphic sentences, and thus creates an impactful statement —for people who agree with him— about the inept of Donald Trump, insofar as one considers Trump’s actions an amalgamation of ignorance and asininity; “Oh boy” leads to a purge of the readers —people who agree will continue reading, leading hecklers to disregard the article, labeling it “liberal propaganda.” Repetition surfaces in his third paragraph with the utilization of “then, as, now,” trivializing Trump’s conduct; Trump’s trivialization blossoms an ignominious image ingraining itself in one’s heart. Empathy, becoming ethos, emerges as an omnipotent force, weakness fuels it, willingness crafts it, in the reader from their similar view

All Americans are feeling the aftershock of Donald Trump winning the Presidential election. Riots, protest, and facebook wars are going on at this very current moment. What we are seeing right now is just a continuation of the division that we saw pre election day. Furthermore the intensity from both sides, has been turned up a notch due to the result and the fact it 's only been less than a week since the election. Looking at the angry, hostile place where America currently finds herself today, the age old question has now popped up to a few who look beyond the anger, and asks themselves “how did we get here?” I believe the 3 most importants questions was answered during my election day analysis. These 3 questions i believe played the most pivotal role on a election day .In my opinion there is no better way to gauge this situation then asking everyday americas a few important

Donald Trump was elected president of the United States of America on November 8th, 2016, and now has been running our country for over a year. As Trump’s first year in office slowly began, his reputation seems to be creating different outside views of our nation and arguments started producing everywhere. After competing with Hillary Clinton for the presidential term in office, Trump defeated her along with her democratic supporters causing one of the most shocking elections in U.S. history. Using public media web pages, we are reviewing both sides of the argument regarding Trump’s election and we are going to decipher why each arguer supports their side, and why each side is reasonable for the benefit of our country.
