Super Trump Day From Alabama to Massachusetts, Georgia and Tennessee, real estate and GOP front-runner Donald Trump won sweeping victories in seven of the 11 Super Tuesday states, a giant step forward towards securing the GOP nomination. Holding a press conference instead of an election night rally in Florida, a state that heads to the polls in another two weeks, Trump told reporters he promise to bring together the Republican Party. "I'm a unifier," Trump said at his Mar-a-Lago golf resorts in Palm Beach, Florida. "Once we get all of this finished, I am going to go after one person - Hillary Clinton... We are going to be unified party and much bigger party." Trump added, "Our party is expanding and all you have to do is take a look at the primary states where I won and just look at the much larger number. That hasn't …show more content…
But for the candidates who have not yet won a state, who have not racked up significant delegates, I ask you to prayerfully consider our coming together and uniting. We welcome you on our team united as one." Failing to win many of the Southern states he banked on previously that went overwhelming in favor of Trump, in part due to Senator Jeff Sessions endorsement, Cruz focused his speech with attacks on the front-runner. "America shouldn't have a president who words would make you embarrassed if you children repeated them," Cruz said. "Our president should make us all proud and who should inspire hope in all of us." His attacks on Trump were the same rhetoric he has been pitching to voters for quite some time, calling Trump a "Washington dealmaker," who uses "profane and vulgar." Cruz added that Trump favors Planned Parenthood and wants to expand Obamacare into a socialized healthcare system while pointing out that Trump is "Senator Harry Reid's and former President Jimmy Carter's favorite Republican candidate" for being a "part of the Washington corruption for 40
While Donald Trump is expected to win my most accounts, it’s not as certain as some of the other states for him. Though he has been polling quite well in Georgia, the state does have a large sect of Southern Baptists. Has Trump done enough to perform well among evangelical voters? If South Carolina is any indication, yes. Trump performed extremely well there among all demographics and should do the same in Georgia. Marco Rubio should win second place, with Ted Cruz coming in third. These positions will reflect what most states see on Super Tuesday, with some obvious
majority of the states, and those that were on the ballot in a majority of
He implements this emotional appeal into his speech to involve all Americans—people living in the United States of America, regardless of their ethnicity, race, or culture, and to acknowledge that the American people have endured this together, and that they will continue to advance after this event with stronger resolve, stronger than ever. In addition, he implements personification to motivate and empower the American people. “Our nation, this generation, will lift a dark threat of violence from our people and our future” (Bush, 2001). “This generation”, again a synonym for the American people, with its unwavering resolve, will fight for its freedom persistently. He intimates that the future of America and of democratic freedom is in the hands of the American people; that the American people have the power to control their fate.
of patriotism in his speech. He wants America to be proud even in the face of
Primarily he starts out his address by speaking directly to his audience, the American people. He states: “We know we share this pain with all of the people of our country. This is truly a national loss.” By doing so he establishes who his intended audience is, which is very important in a speech like this. It helps the audience feel a greater connection to the speaker since he is addressing them directly and relating to them.
The Republican Primary was a race between Vice President George Bush and Senator Bob Dole because President Reagan had reached his term limit and could not run again. Bush was Reagan's Vice President, so he started the race as the Republican front-runner. Bush's campaign was startled after its loss to Dole in the Iowa Caucus. Bush stepped up the campaigning, uttering his famous line, "Read my lips, no new taxes." Dole soon ran out of steam when Vice President Bush won every state in the Super Tuesday Primaries. Bush's strong victories are attributed to his ability to gain the support of the religious fundamentalists, mainly in the South. Bush's ability to establish a strong Southern base helped him in both the primary and general elections.
The author commences the article with a description of the idea that Republican Party leaders have aspirations for Ted Cruz to be “the only hope in stopping Donald Trump’s march,” only to proceed by saying, “…the only candidate who causes as much heartburn among party elites as the billionaire businessman, if not more” (3-4). This opening establishes a negative connotation about the Republican party, and an unappreciable mood regarding the party’s forerunners. This exemplifies the author’s biased, liberal point-of-view, as she hammers her opposition’s candidates, with unsupported claims. Pace progresses to ad-hominously refer to Cruz as an “uncompromising conservative” who is “a colleague focused more on raising his own profile than achieving policy wins that benefit the party” (33-36). These allegations diverge
Ted Cruz is a fairly strong contender for the Republican nomination at the moment and has some definite strengths. His first strength is his fervent support of and commitment to upholding the Constitution, especially the First and Second Amendment. He worked as a lawyer prior to becoming a senator and is well versed in constitutional law. Another strength is his strong conservative ideals, which makes him popular among the Tea Party and evangelical voters, especially when it comes to issues such as abortion, marriage equality, gun rights, immigration and more. In addition, he has the ability to raise a lot of money. In the second quarter of 2015 alone, he had raised over $10 million, with no signs of slowing down. He has a strong campaign team
Repeatedly Donald Trump is witnessed at the Grand Old Party Debates, press conferences and even during his Tweet expressions, displaying the very demeanor that is disturbing to many voters. As stated by columnist John Hawkins and on the Blog Website townhall.com, he characterizes the following comments as Donald Trump's best quotes. "I think the big problem this country has is being politically correct. I've been challenged by so many people, and I don't frankly have time for total political correctness. And to be honest with you, this country doesn't have time either." (Hawkins, 2015, para.
an directly in opposition to the establishment of the Republican Party -- and all it believed in. These people have failed you, Trump told crowds. They lied to you. They abandoned their principles. They aren't who they said they were.
Trump had been affiliated with the Democratic party and The Independent party multiple times prior to joining the Republican party in 2011. He is currently running for the Republican presidential nomination for the 2016 election and has received tremendous polling results to this point in the campaign, most recently polling at 35% among probable Republican voters, 16% higher than the second place candidate.

On January 21, 2017, Donald J Trump became the 45th President of the United States. This was an unusual day, as more people were protesting in the streets of Washington, D.C. than attending the actual inauguration ceremony. Many people believed that Trump was going to lose the race to his rival, Hillary Clinton, but late on November 8, 2016, the voting polls had closed and Trump took the victory. Although Trump did not win the popular vote, he did win the electoral vote. Trump’s campaign had a lot of controversy surrounding it, as he said and did a number of things perceived by some as inappropriate and anger-fueling. Trump also made many promises during his 2017 presidential election. Many think that a president should not make that many
Bush’s method of topic by topic argument along with many emotional appeals was a rather effective way of winning the audience’s support. By appealing to the emotions of the audience Bush was able to give the audience issues they could relate to as well as issues they would feel strongly about. With an emotionally involved audience Bush was able to gather a great number of supporters of his party, just as he intended in his original purpose. The further reference to the character of the people involved in the issues really paid off by drawing the crowd closer to the people working for them. With the topical structure and the appeals used, the speech was a very effective tool in gaining support for the Republican Party from the northern Arizonan audience.
Throughout his entire presidential campaign, the slogan, “Make America Great Again”, was said a numerous amount of times by Donald Trump. With very divided perspectives,
Donald Trump, as you know, is one of the more popular candidates for the 2016 Presidential election. Republicans are out to make a statement and for the most part they believe that Trump is the way to go. Something that should scare people of other parties the most is Party-based voters, which means that Republicans will vote for Trump just because he has an “R” next to his name on the ballot.
