Hillary Clinton's Persuasive Speech

Improved Essays
Presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump spoke to a group of conservative activist Friday afternoon, giving a preview of his upcoming speech on Monday by going after Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, as well as emphasizing the importance of social conservative values.

"For the first time ever, the President of the United States endorsed somebody under criminal investigation," Trump told the crowd gathered at the Road To Majority conference hosted by the Faith & Freedom Coalition in Washington, D.C. "Hillary Clinton has jeopardized -- totally jeopardized national security by putting her emails on a private server all to hide her corrupt dealings."

Introduced by Ralph Reed, founder and chairman of the Faith and Freedom Coalition, spoke highly of the GOP presumptive nominee, calling him a "good friend" and a person that social conservatives should unite behind, no matter of his imperfections. "As Christians, we are called to put away our 'my way or the highway' pride," Reed said. "We are not looking for a political messiah, because we already have a messiah and we don't need to find one in the political arena."

He bashed Hillary for wanting a "500% increase in Syrian refugees" and her refusal to utter the words radical Islam. "Now Hillary Clinton, or as I call her crooked Hillary Clinton—as crooked as they come—refuses to even say the words radical Islam, refuses to say the words,” Trump said. “This alone makes her unfit to be president. In fact, she wants a 500% increase in Syrian refugees to come into our country. No good. No good. No good. Can’t do it. We don’t know where they come from, where they

    After watching the debate, I would say that Clinton had the stronger argument. She had supported her arguments concerning gun legislation, abortion, and immigration with statistics as well as personal testimonies, which improved her credibility and allowed her character to be relatable and trustworthy. For example, on the topic of gun legislation, Clinton had related to the masses by conveying her understanding of those who wish to maintain their gun rights. After establishing this trust with the crowd, she had proceeded to refer to the events concerning gun violence as well as the amount of lives destroyed.…

    Hilary Clinton and Donald Trump tend to use different speaking styles than each other. The general speaking styles and catch-phrases of each candidate are very different from one another. Donald Trump tends to interrupt a lot and also have an aggressive tone which can be very frustrating when he was speaking at the debates against Hilary. Hilary has a lower key tone and is very much patient when it comes to speaking to Donald Trump which is why she hardly interrupts in most of her debates. We will be focusing on the difference in both candidates and the way they use language to fight their way to the top.…

    Donald Trump was an unexpected runner for this year’s presidential election. At first, many people thought his running for the presidency was a joke. Unfortunately, as time went on, what many thought to be a joke suddenly became more serious as more and more people began to show him support and he shows no sign of dropping out anytime soon. Which is unfortunate since much of what he says is far from being presidential, let alone professional. From what I’ve seen of his speeches and debates, he often makes terrible statements about other candidates as well as other groups of people, building off of peoples hate to rally more support.…

    He says that Hillary Clinton is easily influenced "because this maniac that was standing on her right is giving everything away, so she's following!" (Cummings). Trump kills two birds with one stone in that line alone. He says that Bernie Sanders is a maniac and therefore, Hilary must be as well because they share similar views. Trump even goes as far as saying that he would call Sanders a communist, he plays to the crowds side by saying that the democrats are, "going to tax you people at 90%, [they will] take everything!"…

    Voting Against Trump This year America was hit with an interesting surprise on June 16th, 2015, when Donald Trump declared he was going to run for President, yet again. At the time I was sitting in the airport waiting to board my flight, when I look up to the TV, and see the man himself, behind a podium, wearing a red tie, announcing to the world he was running for President. My jaw dropped. I couldn’t believe that someone with no political experience would even attempt to run for president, but I guess when you are Donald Trump you believe you can do everything and that you can be vulgar while doing it.…

    Pay Up CNN, or You'll Get Trumped; $5 Million or No Donald CNN has not been kind to Donald Trump. He expects that from a liberal news station, but he also does not want to let them off scot free. In fact, Trump is now demanding that CNN pay $5 million, which will be donated to 'Wounded Warriors of the vets', or he will not participate in the next presidential debate (which is hosted by CNN). Not only does Trump believe that the network should pay him for being unkind to him in the press, but he feels that he is worth it.

    During their nomination acceptance speeches, both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump tailored their messages to fit the narrative of their campaigns. As Dorothy is a representation of the common man in the book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, both Clinton and Trump’s speeches could be compared to the Wizard, throwing up smoke screens and shallow promises in order to remain powerful. In his speech, Mr. Trump would attempt to convey a message that the professionals in Washington D.C. had failed the country, and it is time for change, even arguing at times that Clinton’s experience was one of her downfalls. This is a clears sign of anti-intellectualism. Secretary Clinton could be considered to be arguing for the opposite, she was arguing for intellectualism.…

    Donald Trump is a name we have all seen in the news lately with his outlandish language, degrading of his opponents, and those who have questioned his reasons behind joining the presidential race. He has went out and made a personal attack on John McCain saying he wants a war hero who is not captured then turns around and states that he (Donald) has done more to help veterans than John. These kinds of attacks have been his method of showing his views and frankly have been upsetting a lot of people in the U.S. and in politics, but that is where we need to look at him as a representative. One such attack was on the Mexican population we have here in America mainly those who are here illegally, stating that most illegals were criminals and rapists, and that is where the…
