Trump won the first presidential debate between himself and Hillary Clinton based on the criteria of, who had the least amounts of interruptions between the candidates and the moderator, who had the least amount of meaningless insults in their argument against each other, and the last one being who provided the most ethical, logical, and emotional appeals in their argument. All of these factors were the criteria for the winning of this debate, for the reason of the criteria providing judgment of debate etiquette and the inclusion of the needed elements of a persuasive argument. This criteria leads to the conclusion that Donald Trump won the first presidential debate.
The first criteria was the amount of interruptions the candidates had between

While both candidates used primarily ethos for their arguments, and both were effective with their ethos arguments, so much so that neither really beat the other on providing ethical appeals. Though for logical appeals Trump provided more logical appeals than Clinton, for example Trump brought up that stop-and-frisk lowered murders for New York. While Clinton bundles that without stop-and-frisk crimes including murders are down which is also true, but as Trump said murders are going up after stop-and-frisk was no longer in use. They were both right in this instance, because murders were at their third lowest, but murders were at their lowest when stop-and-frisk was invoked, and with this argument Trump took over the logical appeal for the debate. Then going on the emotional appeals that the candidates presented, Clinton coame up almost with no emotional appeals for her argument, while Trump came up with quite a few. Trump uses the fact that he would never thought he would be making as much money as his is now, and how people should support someone that has grown from the ground up with their life, and he attempts to make many more arguments trying to appeal to people's emotional side. While Clinton only really tries to make an emotional appeal when she states that her father was a small business owner that gave them a nice middle class living, which doesn’t really move as many people as saying they have gone from nothing to something. Leaving Trump to have provided the most effective emotional appeals to his argument. All together Trump provided the most appeals for his argument by having provided more logical and emotional appeals than Clinton and the same amount of ethical appeals as her as
In my opinion, on the first 2016 Presidential Debate, Donald Trump and Secretary Hillary Clinton did have a fair debate about topics of the host’s, Lester Holt, choice. Hillary Clinton did, in fact, win. I think this for many reason but some in particular stand out to me.
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 2016 Presidential Election has brought a lot of controversy due to negative statements about not only the United States but as well as other countries specifically focusing on Mexico and the border. Both Presidential Candidates, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton have both touched on the topic about Mexico and its border. However, Donald Trump has been the one with the negative statements about Mexico, the border, and their people. I am arguing about the lack of reliability of Donald Trump's statements throughout the Presidential Election about Mexico, the border, and their people. Trump had stated that, “Likewise, tremendous infectious disease is pouring across the border. The United States has become a dumping ground for Mexico and, in
To conclude, “The Second Presidential Debate” clearly shows that the next president should have integrity. This claim is shown throughout the period of the debate by the arguments that both Hillary and Trump make, and the implications that their arguments make on the audience
I believe in this debate it didnt go as planned. In my personal opinion i think Hilary Clinton shouldve won. My reason as to why I feel this way is because, she would be the very first female president in the white house and its about time we all have a change. I think she has more to offer than Trump. In the begininng before the debate started Clinton was introduce to come out first and then Trump came out after but I feel as tho the audience was clapping and cheering more for Clinton then they were for Trump. While Donald Trump was answering some of the questions he was being asked I feel as though he made some really good points. When he was talking about how he would lower the taxes from 35 percent to 15 percent just so that people can have more money in their pockets just to pay bills or any other necessary things that needed
Clinton was losing until she started crying to the audience, which caused her to win her win her first set of polls. Hillary was very masculine is the 2008 election, and she stayed true to herself, because she portrayed a lot of masculine traits in this year's election as well. Clinton changed her style from the 2008 election, in this election she lacked charisma. In the 2016 election, Clinton found that charisma, maybe it was because Donald Trump pushed her and left her no choice, or maybe it was because she really did find her voice in the 2008 election. In this year's election Trump left her no other choice than to prove she knew how to lead, and she set the bar high when it came to professionalism during these elections. Trump did not meet that bar of expectations, and his only proof of leadership was the fact that he had made himself millions of dollars. This article's research came from the 87 speeches Hillary Clinton gave during her 2008 campaign, and these speeches were downloaded and analyzed. They were objective when analyzing these speeches, and considering they had them recorded they are very reliable. This article helped me when researching Clinton’s debate styles and communication strategies. This help me compare and contrast her strategies with Trumps, and the strategies of the 2008 elections to see how the difference affected the voters. This also allowed
I would vote for Donald Trump because the wants to strengthen our military, cut-taxes the right way, and upholds our 2nd amendment. Trump also has a strong business background which will aid him in running our country. There are many more things that I agree with trump on, but the three topics listed at the beginning are the main reasons I support trump.
After watching thirty minutes of both the Republican debate and the Democrat debate it is very evident the differences between the political parties. The Republican race is very different from the democratic debate because of the level of competition. After only a brief time in watching both races it is evident who the moderators feel are front runners in this year's election. The Republican debate was very competitive because of the larger amount of people running. Each candidate did not have enough time to fully debate topics because of there are just too many people up at the podium. Some of the Republican candidates make it priority to follows Reagan's rule of talking about the fellow candidates but, others such as Bush and Trump try
None of the candidates were really prepared for a logical appeals debate and frequently diverted to emotional appeals. Ted Cruz turned to Megyn Kelly at one point, “Do you think the voters at home want this to be the type of debate that is playing out?” That was a strong emotional appeal, because with all the mocking and bickering and yelling the debate was troubling to watch. That moment where he asked the viewers if this is what they wanted was great for building positive face with voters, even when he was doing some of the bickering himself. Trump uses the San Bernandino and Paris attacks as frequently as he can as an emotional appeal. He also used a bit of humor when he implied that he had a large penis. John Kasich’s emotional appeal go-to is, “I want to bring people together.” Rubio made a great joke after Donald yelled that he’s not doing yoga, “But he’s so flexible you’d never know it,” clearly referencing an earlier point in the debate where Donald claimed his core value is “being flexible.” The most effective ethical appeals came from Cruz and Kasich, who both cited their experience and political records several times in response to moderator’s questions. Trump’s ethical appeals weren’t solid, because the moderators fact-checked him almost every time and reported that 73% of his statements were either false or some degree of false. While the GOP appeals mostly consisted of emotional appeals, the Democrats were very heavy on all three kinds. Bernie explained his tax plans carefully and in detail and Hillary explained her solution to American jobs being exported with facts. Bernie and Hillary were in Flint, so both of them used the situation with the poison water to their advantage, making emotional appeals to parents and they agreed on that issue in an effective way. The last and most heavily talked about appeals in this debate were the ethical appeals. Both candidates were
The first of three 2016 presidential debates held on Monday, September 26, 2016 at Hofstra University, Hempstead, New York. The debate by Hilary Clinton and Donald Trump, the presidential nominees of the Democratic party and Republican party respectively, covered three primary areas: achieving prosperity, America’s direction and securing America. The debate was anchored by Lester Holt of NBC’s nightly news with Hilary Clinton answering the first question. This paper highlights some of the main points made by each presidential nominee under the aforementioned broad headings and concluding with an opinion of who came out on top.
(Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton) are more concerned and after each other than the US. Both candidate Hillary and Trump can be great presidents if only they would stop trying to make the US into their own world. What the two candidates say could affect them winning the election so they should think before the speak. Debaters should speak from
The debate was held at the Hofstra University, Hempstead, New York, and started at 8:00pm. According to CNN money, over 80 million people watched the debate (money.cnn.com, 2016). It was moderated by Lester Holt of NBC News. The electorates expected Donald Trump to demonstrate that he would be able to manage his temper as the commander-in-chief when faced with challenging situations. This was expected because he has shown overtime during the campaign, that he was easily upset when he was asked certain questions. The electorates wanted to see how prepared he was for both the debate and office of the president. The electorates expect Secretary Clinton to be prepared, but are still concerned with if they could trust her if she becomes the president of the United States of America. Both candidates were courteous and professional at the beginning of the debate. Trump asked if it was ok to call his opposition, Secretary Hillary Clinton, because he wanted her to be happy. The debate was divided into six segments of 15 minutes each on major topics that were selected by the moderator.
Throughout the debate, Hillary Clinton stayed calm and collected, as well as smiling often. On the other hand, while Donald Trump started the debate very
In June 2015, a few days before Donald Trump declared that he was running for president, the news cycle was dominated by a different person: Rachel Dolezal. She was the head of the Spokane chapter of the NAACP, an artist, a teacher of black-themed subjects – and, as it turned out, the daughter of white parents. She said she identified as black, and was living the life she felt was authentically her own. Her critics, and there were many, believed she had been living a lie, letting people assume she was black, when years before she had filed a lawsuit as a Howard University graduate student, alleging that the university had discriminated against her because she was a white woman.
This article was mainly about Donald Trump passing a comment that the media is questioning about. "I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters," Trump said at a campaign rally. This comment has left many media personas wondering what he meant by that comment. However, it is written in the article that Trump refused to clarify his comment. The article then goes on to mention about how Trump
