Presidential Debate

Another four years another presidential debate. Before I go on to the current debates let me state a few facts about past ones. The Lincoln and Douglas debate was in important because it started Lincoln presidential career. The Debates lasted from August 21 -- October 15. There where seven of them, with two days to two weeks in between. Each debate lasted three hours; first candidate spoke for one hour; the second for one and a half hours; the first replying for a half hour. Candidates alternated going first. The topics involved where primarily slavery and the Union. Other important debates were the '48 and '57. They were the only debates before 1960; there were no presidential debates between 1960 and 1976. In

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,

This year’s presidential election has been riddled with controversy and drama. The two presidential nominees, Hillary Clinton, and Donald Trump, each have questionable acts. As voting time approaches and the debates come to an end many individuals must decide who is fit to run the country. By considering their backgrounds, verifying the validity of their policies, and brining into consideration their performance in the debates, a suitable president should be found.

In the beginning of the debate, both Trump and Clinton had a fierce attitude. The candidates had brought up many past events. They debated against each other`s plans to create a better country. One of the main

The second presidential debate demonstrates an indecisive clash between opposite personalities; the rehearsed demeanor of Hillary Clinton juxtaposes the raw audacity of Donald Trump. Despite their dissimilar appearance, the candidates employ like strategies – they deflect accusations and criticize their adversary. Clinton suffers to succeed in this format. Neither knowledge of policy nor experience in office effectively counter accusations against personal character. This observation is nonetheless irreverent. Although Trump dominates the debate format, he alienates the electorate.

At the beginning of the presidential debate the opening question for the candidates is, “Do you think that you are proper role models for today’s youth?”. Both Hillary and Trump use similar strategies and veer from the question at hand by switching to a totally different

Trump was basically telling the people what they wanted to hear and I thought he was doing pretty good. On the other hand he also wasnt answering the questions the way they needed to be answered. In the debate Hilary talks about how we should start small companies in to increase the work for everyone. While Trump is trying to lower everything, Hilary wants people to have a fair job and wants the wealthy to help out the people by donating clothes or anything else to get involved. Trump on the other hand, wants the companies to stop moving around to different states just stay in one location. Throughtout this debate, I believe Trump is accusing Hilary for Americas debt and how he is basically saying its increased by 2 because of President Barack Obama. However, Hilary is not pointing any fingers at

The 2016 Presidential election is getting closer and the two major party nominees are getting ready for the fight of their lives, and not holding back any punches. In the red corner, representing the Republican Party, Donald Trump, the successful business person wants to make America great again. In the blue corner, representing the Democratic Party, Hilary Clinton, the former first lady and Secretary of state is making history as the first female major party Presidential candidate. Both have toured the country in full campaign mode trying to win the heart and vote of the American voters. The 2016 Presidential candidates, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, have very different views on debated topics

If a person was trying to positively portray themselves, you would expect that they would try to convey themselves in a professional manner and use good communication skills. Unfortunately, the communication that came across in the debate between Senator Hillary Clinton and Mr. Donald Trump did not always convey professionalism. There were a few points in the speech where both candidates respected the other, but the majority of the debate consisted of interruptions, rude remarks to and about each other, and the used self-serving bias to make the other person sound bad. The most prominent good communication principals and bad communication aspects that I saw during the debate were that the candidates recognized when the other person was right

On September 26, 2016, the first of four debates was hosted by Hofstra University in New York. The debate was between Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton and Republican candidate Donald Trump. This was a much anticipated debate because it was not only the first of four, but it was the first time for divided America to pick a side and candidate that they could identify with after the primaries were over and we were left with these two options. These two candidates were asked questions by moderator Lester Holt, anchor of NBC Nightly News.

The questions asked throughout this first debate were overall unfair. The questions asked of Secretary Clinton were ones that she was fully prepared for and that made her look like the more intelligent candidate. The questions asked of Mr. Trump were ones of controversy, making

I watched the third presidential debate on Wednesday, October 19, at 8 pm. Chris Wallace moderated the debate between the Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and Republican nominee Donald Trump. The purpose of the debate was to allow for both candidates to be compared side by side in order to determine who would be a better candidate to become the president of the United States.

As previously mentioned, the candidates lacked focus. A common theme at the debate was their indirect responses. When asked a question, the candidates would engage in a monologue criticizing the Democratic Party (popular targets were Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama). The candidates frequently went over their allotted response time without offering a substantive response to questions asked of them. Marco Rubio was especially guilty of this, as evidenced by moderators chiding him for being off topic. When asked of the country’s financial situation, Rubio, Bush, and Cruz fervently agreed that Clinton should be banned from the White House and the military needed to be rebuilt. However, there was never

As people age, the world grows differently in their minds. Each is prompted to think differently about themselves, others, or the world after an experience which made them see differently.This year, the world has been a witness to a unique and astonishing presidential primary debates. Watching the presidential primary debates has changed my perspective on the world and people as a whole. It has been thrilling and baffling to see people take their candidate’s side with such a strong passion. It seems that the country is split into two sides. Both crowds have the contradicting mindsets and values. With each side having different opinions and reasons, it is hard not to see the differences and learn a thing or two from them. There are many types

Unless you have been living under a rock for the past two years, the United States of America has an election coming up on the eighth of November. This campaign has gotten ugly. There has been fighting, rioting, accusations of improper conduct, and a whole heap of other things between the two political parties. Some people would argue that our country is divided more now than ever in history. On the Democratic side, you have Senator Hillary Clinton. She has the motivation of becoming America’s first female president. Over on the Republican side, you have Donald Trump, a billionaire, real-estate mogul, businessman. These two candidates have two very different backgrounds. Hillary Clinton has been in the political arena since 1976. She was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2001 and was appointed as the U.S. Secretary of State in 2009. Donald Trump, on the other hand, has never held any kind of political office. He got into real-estate in 1971 and has since then made the Trump name synonymous with real-estate development. With their backgrounds being as different as they are, their personalities are just as different.
