I thought of this debate as one about making a lasting impression on the voters before they go and vote. This being said, here are my thoughts on who made a lasting mark: Bernie Sanders: This debate, Sanders came much more aggressive than he usually is. Whether it was defending his gun control voting record or heavily exclaiming how the Democratic needs major reform and has to expand. I feel he came off this way to, one, make an impact on the people, and two, not be overtaken by the constant jabs from Hillary Clinton. However, he still managed to handle himself well even with all of the ridicule from Clinton with phrases to get him back on track. For example, when Clinton brought up the idea of how Sanders' campaign is about ending affordable …show more content…
Firing jabs left and right at her most prominent competition, Bernie Sanders. Whether it was taking shots at Sanders' so called inconsistent voting record with the NRA or defending President Obama she came strong and confident with the words she was saying. When the big banks were brought up and how Sanders and O'Malley criticized her of being "in the pocket" of the big banks, she fired back towards Sanders about he has not only criticized her but Obama when he had to lean on Wall Street.Clinton spoke on how Sanders had allegedly in the past called him "weak" and "disappointing" and then exclaiming to Sanders, "I will defend Obama for taking on Wall Street, taking on the financial industry, and getting results." She came out on fire and did not let herself be overshadowed. Did she make a lasting impact? Definitely. Martin O' Malley: According to a NBC/Wall Street Journal national poll from last Sunday, Martin O' Malley has a WHOPPING... 2% of all votes between the three candidates. This debate is a clear indicator why this is so. O'Malley's best moment was about 8 and a half minutes in the debate where he was talking on his top 3 presidential priorities where he rushed out everything he possibly could about what an O'Malley presidency would look, because he knew he was not going to have much speaking time. The following are his
To summarize this analysis, Hillary Clinton shows us how as we unite, the stronger our bond is. She uses clever ways to show this action. Though she did not win this presidential election, she is still loved by many. She helped herself because of the way she wrote and persuaded people to join her. Using rhetorical appeals

Although each have had numerous faux pas in their careers making the ability to run campaigns devoid of controversy nearly unattainable, the 2016 Presidential election with its two illustrious candidates, Vince McMahon and Ted Turner, each with a wealth of experience in leadership and business, should provide voters with the ability to carefully research each candidate. McMahon and Turner both have controversy in their pasts, and have overcome much adversity rather unscathed throughout their careers and both candidates have tremendous support through their fan base linked to their respective wrestling companies.
Many of the upcoming November elections this year create much friction and competition between the candidates. The New York State Senate race between Hillary Clinton and Rick Lazio has proved to very close and heated. eEach candidate has strong views on issues and puts up a good debate about each one. Hillary Clinton is the Democrat and Rick Lazio is the Republican in this election. This is a very close race and the winner will determine many of New York’s views on future issues.
He talks in lofty, high-toned liberal-speak. His manner is most arrogant, and his prevarications come as easily as his disarming smile. Every jaw-dropping performance will leave you clutching your wallet and gasping for the fresh air of freedom. Watch for “The Excuse and Blame President,” starring Barack Hussein Obama, coming soon to a political rally near you.
The debate team of Wiley College faced many colleges to be recognized and finally in the end winning a debate against the reigning debating champions, Harvard University. One of the debaters who caught my attention was James Farmer Jr., the youngest on the team that started out as an alternative. James Farmer sought recognition from adults and wanted to show everyone he was capable of debating. James Farmer incorporates a lot of Ethos and Pathos into his speech making, allowing him to leave his audience filled with emotions and in awe. Although James Farmer interested me, especially the way he presented his final speech, James Farmer and I are very different in the way we deliver our speeches.
between the two candidates is obvious. People who want to succeed at the highest levels
Prompt 1: Who won the debate & why? Based on the performance and content of the presidential debate, Hillary Clinton emerged the winner. A debate is a typical adversarial argument, which is characterized by competition. There is one winner and one loser. The argument revolves around two people who have different or opposite ways of thinking, arguing on the same topic.
Being that he is a comedian Jon was very entertaining when giving his speech. Although, entertainment is much needed when sitting through a graduation ceremony, I felt as though he incorporated too much throughout his address. When starting his address, he cleared his throat a numerous amount of times. Not only that but, Jon also said thank you to his audience a lot of times as well and also used some provocative language. I get the point of him being a comedian, but when delivering a speech, such as that, he should have used language that was appropriate for the occasion. With his high confidence he was able to deliver his speech in high volume and with great clarity which made is speech effective. I did notice that when he would say “real world” (Stewart, 2004, 4:03), he would get tongue twisted, but the rest of his speech was articulated and pronounced
“We are seeing a great awakening. A national movement of We the People, brought together by what unites us - a shared love of liberty, and an understanding of the unlimited potential of free men and free women” (Ted Cruz Quote). While there are many different opinions on who would make the best president, keeping an open mind and thinking things through is important. You might say, “ This election doesn’t REALLY matter.” or, “Why should I care who gets to be in office?” But this nation needs everyone to vote, and having a solid opinion of what you want, is important. Out of all the candidates, Ted Cruz would make the best president because of his personal belief of making America a safe and great place to live.
The goal of Hillary’s speech is to persuade her audience that her ideas are valid, by using ethos, pathos, and logos. Hillary is the First Lady and Senator, she shows credibility as an influential activist for woman rights. “Over the past 25 years, I have worked persistently on issues relating to women, children, and families. Over the past two and a half years, I’ve had the opportunity to learn more about the challenges facing women in my country and around the world” (Clinton 2).
For those watching the first debate it was easy to see which candidate was better prepared and over-all more likeable. While John Kerry spoke on point, direct, and quickly, President Bush was defensive, angry, and often repetitive; idiotic remarks such as, ''Of course I know Osama bin Laden attacked us -- I know that,” stuck out like sore thumbs amidst a debate of intelligence, and cool comebacks (New York Times). The use of the split-screen by some cable networks such as Fox Network News, presented the debate with a split-screen allowing “... several shots of Bush grimacing and looking quite hostile during Kerry's criticisms of his Iraq actions” creating the effect that “Kerry was aware of the camera’s gaze and Bush perhaps did not” (The Los Angeles Times). The overall effect of the split-screen was favorable to Kerry and unfavorable to Bush, allowing for the Democratic and Republican parties to try and convey their opinions of whether this was fair. Kerry officials were ecstatic over the results, comparing the President to Al Gore’s reactions in the 2000 debate “memorable” and “counter productive” (The Los Angeles Times). While Kerry officials were gloating the Bush campaign tried to play if off coolly, acting as if the reactions of the President did nothing more than a man who showed his emotion and conviction last night in answering questions and listening to someone de-credit him in the American Public (The Los Angeles Times).
The topic Noah reported on is an important one to me and most likely anyone else who is planning on voting in the next presidential election. The democratic debate was a way for American citizens all over the country to see all five of the candidates in one place, to see where the candidates stand on national issues, and how they respond to each other’s views and opinions on the matters. The debate will help democratic
Since the first televised debate between Vice President Richard Nixon (R-Calif.) and Senator John Kennedy (D-Mass.), the election process has never been the same. Despite the seemingly important democratic aspect of presidential debates, the actual impact of debates on voters’ perceptions of potential candidates is highly doubted by many scholars. Potential candidates, journalists, and a few scholars have expressed, however, the importance of presidential debates in directing voters’ attitudes (White, 1982; Asher, 1988; Reagan, 1990). For instance, President Reagan was quoted as saying “I almost blew the whole race during my first debate” (Reagan, 1990, p. 327). He believed so strongly that his poor performance against Mondale in the 1984 debate almost caused him to lose the presidency.
Before engaging in the debates with Senator Stephen A. Douglas, Lincoln was relatively unknown in the political world and was just beginning his career in politics. Abraham Lincoln’s reputation was just starting to grow, and his life was about to make a drastic change. The Lincoln-Douglas debates of 1858 were a turning point in Abraham Lincoln’s political career.
