The Gary Johnson Campaign has been trying to represent itself as the better option than the “lesser of two evils choice.” In order for this to work Johnson has been using appeal to logos as his primary appeal to voters. The intended effect is for voters to see that Johnson is using facts and data to backup his claims instead of the Clinton-Trump approach of appeal to pathos. Almost all of Gary Johnson’s arguments have appeal to logos somewhere in them. This approach takes much more time to accomplish because of the amount of fact-checking that has to be done.
