Currently a popular dispute between people is the presidential elections in the United States of America: who truly won the presidential debate: Donald Trump or Hilary Clinton? The debate was broadcasted so everyone could see it so why does the disagreement arise? Many democrats agree that Clinton won due to her being able to keep her poise and deviate from topics that she felt uncomfortable with; an important skill needed for debate. As a result, Trump lost from their viewpoint since instead of talking about major issues in the US, he interrupted and “lashed out” on Hilary. On the other hand, republicans argue that Clinton was robotic and that her responses were rehearsed. While Trump managed to control the debate, Clinton was overly smug with her responses. According to David Millward because Trump managed to avoid a “melt-down,” from the Republican’s viewpoint, this was a victory . As a result, depending on which party you’re from, the interpretation on who won the debate is influenced. This recent debate leads to similarities in events that happened in the past, your cultural background and political viewpoint affect how you view the event. Generally causing them to have a conformational bias and an appeal to ignorance. So what differentiates an expert to an individual is their ability to piece a story of two different sides to build a true timeline of

There was a belief in the past that elections resolved big debates in the country and could be turning points of what the public thinks about the issues. But this did not transpire in 2012 and Balz sees the future of elections to be more of the same: he expects that they will be predicated on hate of the opponent divided along demographic and party lines, not the merits of the candidates and their policies; he predicts social media and technology as a whole to grow in importance and scope; and he believes debates will become more important while becoming less and less about the issues and more about

The elections of 1800 and 2016 show a similarity in the way each party attacked each other. Many people think that the 2016 presidential election was the worst for mudslinging that there has ever been. However, if we look back to the presidential election of 1800 between Jefferson and Burr, we would see very similar picture. In the 1800’s, the candidates and their political parties would use their influence with the media to spread lies and misinformation about the other candidates, just like they did in the 2016 presidential election. It seems the media of today has definitely chosen sides just like they did in the 1800’s.

On October 6, the first debate started. It took place in Hartford, Connecticut, and it gave the presidential candidates the chance to put forth their views on education, the economy, medicare, and tax cuts. Clinton took advantage for improving the economy and slashing the budget deficit. Dole challenged Clinton’s approach to foreign affairs, and he also challenged Clinton’s record on crime and spending and proposed a whopping tax cut of more than $550 billion. The debate was secular of personal attacks.

The turmoil, upheaval, and controversy of the 2016 Trump election is a significant current event of the modern world, but this landslide election is not the first in America’s history to raise such conflicting opinions. The Revolution of 1800 was another shift in political history that impacted not only the candidates, but majority of the public. The defeat of John Adams to Vice President Thomas Jefferson led to the rise of the Democratic-Republican Party rule and the eventual demise of the Federalist Party. Often in politics, opposing views, scandals, and negative publicity plays a role in the election process, due to this, in both the 2016 election and 1800 election negative criticism from both parties was evident. The 1800 and 2016 elections

Everyone has their own opinions on different topics. Some arguments may be more clear than others, but they exist. Some debates on arguments should end, but people always find a way to argue the other side. For example the argument on student debt has been going for a long time. To many, student debt should be eliminated, which makes sense in order to improve our economy.

After watching the Democratic debate, it was obvious that the debate was nothing less than the Hilary Clinton’s show and the other candidates are just there to make her look smarter and more qualified to lead this country. Personally, I think this will be an easy nomination win for Clinton unless the remaining candidates develop better positions and begin to talk specifics about what they believe will help make this country a better stronger for

How we think and feel during a speech is often the result of the words a speaker uses and the tone they take. Clinton’s speech had a very specific goal of showing the audience that he was humble and sorrowful, and garner sympathy and forgiveness so that the president could continue holding his status. Clinton used many techniques and his own charisma and personality to drive the speech to be as influential, and be as memorable, as it is. Its masterful use of language and the careful presentation created a lasting impression that Americans today can reference when discerning what is really being said when a politicians

The third Republican Debate is now in the books, after the top 10 leading GOP candidates debated for more than two hours. There are now less than 100 days until the first ballots are cast. This debate was a very important for many of the candidates campaigns because they are now approaching the “make-or-break point” of their campaigns (Diamond). Only a few candidates rose to the occasion and gave a strong performance that could boost their standings in the polls. Other candidates did not leave very happy from the debate.

I believe that, yes it would have an adverse effect on a presidential election because the more debates a democratic party or republican party has means that the public and other party members have time to learn about the candidates and the issues that candidate supports. For example if a person like Donald trump which is on the republican party goes outside to a lot of debates and shows he’s not afraid he could outshine his competition in debates and even win more votes over the democratic party that has its main runner Hillary Clinton at a disadvantage with less debate time. Yes debates influence candidate selection during elations because the person decided who to vote for knows the side they want, and they know what that candidate thinks

Presidential candidates should answer how they truly feel and what they know about a topic instead of dodging or attacking the question like an ex-girlfriend. We Americans put our faith in the president to keep the country flourishing, safe, and great. In this democratic debate, Hillary Clinton used the red herring fallacy and the ad hominem fallacy.
