Actual Example from Debate: Tautology is the repetition of ideas. Carly Fiorina repeats the idea of resolving the tax issues now. “We have great conservative ideas from wonderful think tanks about how to reform the tax code. The problem is we never get it done. We have talked about tax reform in every single election for decades in it never happens and the politicians always say it’s so complicated nobody but a politician can understand it, the truth is this, the big problem is, we need a leader in Washington who understands how to get something done.”

1) Rhetorical Device Anaphora said by John Kasich
Actual Example: The Red Herring he gives the audience after being asked what his weaknesses are. “I’ve watched people say we should dismantle Medicare , I’ve heard them talk about deporting 10 or 11 people here from this country, I’ve heard about tax schemes that don’t add up, we need someone who can lead, we need somebody who can balance
Another way Blanco gets ahold of her audience’s attention is through ethos, or credibility. She
She also appeals to ethos by establishing her credibility. However, the author’s
In the world of politics, courtrooms, banks, hospitals, and even at mechanic shops some amount of doublespeak is lingering. Lutz’s article proves how frequent the use of double speak is and manipulative and decisive the people who use it actually are. After reading this essay, it has become obvious to me that Doublespeak has been used on me throughout my entire life. This article has taught me to analyze and investigate phrases that are convoluted or meaninglessly complicated. His paper teaches the reader to ignore the useless information and strip down a phrase to what it really means. Through Lutz’s use of numerous personal and historical examples, he is able to effectively argue his opinion of the negative uses of doublespeak. Audiences who are often confused or misled by speakers various tactics of doublespeak would highly benefit from this article. In order to understand doublespeak one must first understand why speakers use it and what effects it has on the public. Professionals use doublespeak to deceive because it distorts reality in favor of the speaker, it confuses and corrupts the audiences’ thinking, and it avoids responsibility.
Knowing this, she takes her experience and uses it to write this piece and uses it to spread her message and her feelings toward the topic.
Additionally, Donna uses the appeals to logos and pathos throughout her article, displaying student’s comments during the survey which show:
Rhetoric is the study of how writers and speakers use words to influence an audience. Pathos, Logos, and Ethos are examples of rhetorical devices, where the rhetorician would appeal to an audience to prove a point. In both the Declaration of Independence and The American Crisis #1, the authors use several examples of rhetoric to persuade their audience in the 1700s, to separate themselves from England.
Gail highlights the main idea that Donald Trump won’t accept the election results if he loses. In the third debate, Donald Trump constantly interrupted Hillary Clinton and the moderator. Gail Collins uses the rhetorical mode; illustration by pulling out examples from the debate. In addition, Gail pulled quotes directly out of the the debate to support her purpose that the third debate was a mess. She used the quote “I will tell you at the time. … I’ll keep you in suspense” from Donald Trump to show how horrible Donald Trump's remarks at the debate were. Gail also uses the rhetorical strategy; colloquialism, to turn the twisted debate into something comical. She uses words like “jeepers!” and “yow!” to show how cringe-worthy his remarks were. Gail Collins uses the same rhetorical strategy throughout her
When attempting to present a certain perspective to an audience, the speaker must not merely string a list of monotonous and meaningless words together and call it a speech. Rhetoric, also known as persuasive elocution, has the power to captivate an audience and is essential to any effective oration. In his 2008 Republican Convention speech, actor Fred Thompson lends his support to John McCain’s presidential campaign in order to convince American voters to do the same. Appealing to his audience’s patriotism and sense of responsibility while also discrediting the possibility of a successful Democratic nominee, Thompson delivers a memorable presentation laced with passion, light-hearted humor, and, most especially, hope for a better future lead

Rhetoric is a significant part of our everyday lives. Whether it's convincing our friends to go to a concert on the weekend, to go to a certain place for lunch, or even convincing yourself to do something that you should but don't want to do. Rhetoric is all around us today. Billboard ads, television commercials, newspaper ads, political speeches, even news stories all try, to some degree, to sway our opinion or convince us to take some sort of action. If you take a step back to look and think about it, rhetoric, in all actuality, shapes our lives. Every day we have an array of options of things to do or things to buy. So every day, our opinion or actions are being influenced, however minutely, by rhetoric.
An effective orator utilizes the rhetorical appeals of credibility, reason, and emotion to find common values among the audience. Furthermore, despite constructing a sufficient script of relatable vocabulary, a speaker ultimately must use a specific persona and delivery to better connect with the audience. For instance, in George W. Bush’s 9/11 speech, the transcript alone does not provide enough description to fully convey the true, tragic emotions of the occasion. While watching the video it is clear his posture, persona, and delivery reinforce the president’s ethos, pathos, and logos. Initially, Bush establishes his credibility and trust by incorporating first-person plural pronouns like, ‘we’ and ‘our.’ He relates to the audience by referring
Most career politicians have mastered the red herring technique, that is to say; they appeal to emotion of a receiver in order to distract from a main issue and in turn manipulate sentiment into order to persuade the outcome of a topic without providing factual evidence.
