Karl Rove is an exceptional political strategist worthy of the title “The Architect” as demonstrated by the many feats he accomplished mentioned in the video Karl Rove: The Architect. The first aspect that I found significant was Karl Rove’s use of “dirty tricks” during political campaigns (Karl Rove: The). Karl Rove has the patience and the mindset to bring down the opponent’s reputation in order to win to which he even went as far as to speak about in his training seminars across the nation.

This talent is not without practice or order however, even those talented with influence must be organized and eloquently sew their words together to prove a point. Only arguments that can appeal to all are able to be successful. In President John F. Kennedy’s Speech “Peace Speech”, examples of Aristotle's Modes of Persuasion are used.
