In a formal discussion on a particular topic in a public meeting or legislative assembly, in which opposing arguments are put forward, a debate is formed. One debate, the Presidential Debate, is focusing on one question what makes a good president? The two candidates, one of which will soon be the President, uses a mix of eye contact and physical movement to get the audience's attention and show what they mean and what they are feeling they also use things like pathos, ethos, logos, the rhetorical analysis and fallacies to help support their debate.

When Trump said this it can put in as a fallacy of cherry picking because Trump is focusing only on the negatives of Obamacare he is just pinpointing one thing about it while Clinton comes back and says all the other things that are good.

Trying to show how bad the ObamaCare system by saying how the health care system has gone up tremendously, he is showing how, one he does not like Obamacare and two how for those who can’t afford it should vote for him to be president because he would fix it. When Trump says this he is getting on the side of people who now cannot afford a quality health care plan because they are too

While many tried and failed, Obama succeeded in getting into office and becoming president. President Barack Obama delivered his final address as president of the United States in Chicago's McCormick Place, just a few miles from Grant Park, where he spoke to millions of Americans for the first time as president-elect years ago.

By cutting out these programs, it not only hurts the customers but also the hospital employees.
