The Air Is Electric, Entrenched With Gut Busting Enthusiasm From A Room Full Of People Essay

The 1964 American election between Lyndon B. Johnson and Barry Goldwater has strong similarities with the 2016 election between Hillary Clinton and Donald J. Trump. In both cases, the democrat candidates focused more on their counterpart’s rhetoric rather than uphold their own ideas in an attempt to persuade voters to support them. This essay will argue that the Democrat candidates of the 1964 and 2016 elections, in many instances, instead of focusing on their political proposals, focused on anti-intellectualism by emphasizing their opponent’s extremist right-winger rhetoric. This comparison shows the enduring trends of right-wing extremism, racial conflicts, and republican divisiveness. To prove this argument, this text will analyze Democrat campaign advertisements in both campaigns, Nelson A Rockefeller speech at the 1964 National Republican convention and Jeb Bush interview to NBC.

In 2012 President Obama spoke to a group of people at a fund raiser event in Texas and seemed optimistic that Texas would soon be a battleground for the Democratic Party (Parker, 2013). Unless Democrats possess an extraordinary strategic plan this could prove to be a challenging task to accomplish. Recent voting in Texas has faithfully been favorable toward the Republican ticket for over 30 years (Parker, 2013). There has been a widespread margin in the percentage of votes between Republican and Democratic candidates in the last four presidential elections. Currently Republicans occupy all elected statewide offices, both state

The governor of CA has maintained a strong position in some areas while vacillating in some, or displaying a considerable decline in others.

Although Burr was never able to reach 50% in the polls, he exceeded that threshold on Election Day and defeated Ross by almost 6%. In order to analyze the political climate further, I will be comparing the exit polls for both Trump vs. Clinton and Burr vs Ross. This will help explain why Ross was entering the Senate race with a disadvantage despite media pundits arguing that higher turnout in presidential election years should benefit Ross. Although Five Thirty Eight gave Clinton the slight edge to defeat Trump in North Carolina, Trump’s was able to carry the state with a modest performance. Although Real Clear Politics had Burr winning by an average of 2%, that was certainly below the 5.7% final result. In a three way race between Trump, Clinton, and Johnson, Trump was predicted to win North Carolina by about 1%. The actual results, however, showed Trump winning by about 4%. Although this paper is focusing on the Senate race, it’s certainly important to note the impact that a presidential candidate can have on the electoral map, particularly

The 2014 mid-term elections are some of the most telling that the United States has experienced within the past several decades. As President Barack Obama serves out his final term in office, many throughout the country are wondering which of the two major political parties will have the upper hand in government as America moves toward the next Presidential Election of 2016. In recent years, Florida has been considered one of the closest “battleground states” in all of the United States. The 2000 Presidential Election resulted in the votes needing to be recounted to finally give Republican candidate George W. Bush the victory over Democrat Al Gore and the last two Presidential Elections boasted narrow victories for the Democratic Party. The 2014 Florida gubernatorial election will likely feature incumbent Republican Rick Scott facing-off with Democratic challenger Charlie Crist, both a former governor of Florida and former member of the Republican Party. The contest is likely to be one of the closest races in all of 2014, and recently polling has shown the projected outcome of the race to be almost entirely unpredictable. After careful analysis of the Florida electorate, past elections, the primary candidates, public opinion polls, and projected campaign spending, I conclude that incumbent Governor Rick Scott will be re-elected to the governorship for his second term as head of the Florida

Seemingly dormant in its political formation, the mass amount of conservatives began to fear the apparent ramifications of an African-American man succeeding office. Surprisingly, Bradley's statistics were auspicious, leading the citywide vote and progressing to the runoff election to confront his opponent, Yorty (Kaufmann 2004, 69). Yorty, a conservative Democrat, realized that his political career was nearing its termination, and decided to take it upon himself to singlehandedly sway the perception of the gullible people, tainted by historical and contextual

​ , still furious about the debate, and wrote “What’s the Matter with Kansas?”: an article that viciously mocked Bryan and the Democrats.

“I just don’t get it,” President Alex Davis said. “What is happening to the Democratic process?”

The First World War was a war of many firsts. Not only was it the first true contemporary war, but it was also the first war that introduced new forms of industrial warfare, which resulted in many repercussions. One of these repercussions was the development of shell-shock or neurosis as a result of war in soldiers returning from the battle front. In “All Quiet on the Western Front” by Enrich Maria Remarque the psychological effect of industrial warfare on soldiers was depicted as a paradoxical combination of exhilaration on the battlefront as well as a deep state of numbness and melancholy.

While Liberal Democratic leadership was the norm of politics previous to this election, the formation of the New Left Radicalists broke up the dominant Democratic Party and enabled the election of a New Right Conservative, President Richard Nixon (Ruggles, Chicago). Current, right-wing conservatives still run on the principles of smaller government, adherence to a stringent moral code and outspoken defiance of “creeping socialism,” conservative extremists have pushed further right with promises to deport eleven million illegal immigrants, the promotion of Islamaphobic propaganda, radical cuts to social programs, the promotion of the outright defiance of other world leaders (mostly Valdimir Putin) and manipulating funding to find a roundabout way of outlawing of abortions (Ruggles, The Transformations…). More Liberal conservatives have introduced tax cuts for families, progressive tax rates, and pathways to stay in the United States for some non-violent illegal immigrants. Also, just as the Republicans had been able to in 1968, Democratic candidates have so far been able to appeal to majority opinion, which has taken another moral turn, replacing the dominance of the religious ideological leaning of the New Right Conservatives with principles of humanism, like autonomy and justice, over absolute nonmaleficence and

The building labeled B appears to be the main building for courses at Local Community College. Students walk in and out of the building all day and stop only to enter a classroom or buy food from the vending machines which fill one corner of the building’s long hallway. Often, students sit on the chairs that line the walls while waiting for a class to start, but for now the hallway is nearly empty and waiting for the ambush of students.

In campaigning, media coverage plays a large role for candidates. They use the media to make their name heard and image seen. “Nearly everything a candidate does is geared toward the media, especially television” (Stuckey, 1999, p. 99) Candidates make appearances on talk shows,
