We begin with Gabriel Trip’s, "Kasich Defiant as G.O.P. Presses Him to Quit Race to Thwart Trump." This article tells us of Republicans hopes for Kasich to drop out of the race and back Sen. Ted Cruz. It is believed by Republicans that Sen. Cruz has a better chance at beating Donald Trump in the presidential race than Kasich does. However, Kasich has refused to pull himself from the race stating “[…] he, not the Texas senator, was the best option to stop Mr. Trump.” (Paragraph 2) This argument seem to not hold weight after the voting on Tuesday, March 22 where he received no delegates in either Utah or Arizona. While many of those choosing to back Cruz have a closer ideology with Kasich they have made the decision to support Sen. Cruz in their beliefs he is the better candidate to defeat Donald Trump. Kasich argues he is able to win “[…] in most of the remaining states, not those who identify as ' 'very conservative ' ' or …show more content…
Cruz. I do not believe Mr. Kasich remaining in the race at this point will be beneficial in the Republican Party’s efforts to thwart Donald Trump. Albeit, I can understand Mr. Kasich not wanting to just hand the nomination to Sen. Cruz when he feels he is the better candidate to defeat Donald J Trump. Mr. Kasich, may in fact, be the better man for the presidency; but does that mean that American voters are knowledgeable enough with Kasich’s viewpoints and ideologies to choose him over Donald Trump for starters, and then Hillary Clinton?
In our next article from the New York Times titled “Learning Lessons from Outrage” the author opens by referring to Donald J Trump as a demagogue. Webster’s dictionary gives us two definitions for demagogue:
1: a leader who makes use of popular prejudices and false claims and promises in order to gain power.
2: a leader championing the cause of the common people in ancient

    Rhetorical Analysis: The Grand Old Party

    During the past couple of months we have seen more and more well known establishment Republicans like Lindsey Graham, George Pataki, and Bill Kristol, proclaim their refusal to support Donald Trump if he were to secure the GOP presidential nomination. Now that Trump has done just that, political pundits from every news site, cable channel, and talk radio show seem all but obsessed with revealing the next Republican mainstay who will give the cold shoulder to Trump, and may even commit conservative blasphemy by voting for Hillary Clinton. Almost daily, we hear another report of lifelong Republicans jumping the sinking ship that was once "The Grand Old Party". Whether it be both George Bush Junior and Senior opting out of even attending this…

    Eugene Talmadge's Eulogy

    For many years citizens of the south have disagreed with the assumption that their politics enjoy a monopoly of demagoguery. Demagoguery is a manipulative approach often associated with dictators and sleazy politicians that appeals to the worst nature of people. In the state of Georgia, Eugene Talmadge is known as the historical demagogue. Talmadge was a Democratic candidate in every statewide Democratic Primary between 1926 and 1946.

    Off Center Summary

    After reading “Off Center” by Jacob Hacker and Paul Pierson for class, I was left with some thoughts that I would like to talk about in this response paper. I will be focusing on identifying an important, researchable issue that was not addressed in this reading. I believe that Hacker and Pierson do an excellent job of using detailed arguments and explanations for why the political party spectrum, and specifically the GOP, is off center. However, this book was written 10 years ago, and I believe that opinions and beliefs in our country, as well as current government official’s political party representation, show that ideologies are changing.…

    An Analysis Of Unethical Practices In Matched By Ally Condie And The Circle

    Insert title here “Leadership by deception isn't leadership. It's fraud” a quote by Dashanne Stokes. Even though parties running to be elected often proclaim they can make a difference in a country, when they actually win their promises are often not followed through. This is because, despite humanity's best efforts, when placed in a position of power even those with the purest intentions succumb to unethical practices as seen in Matched by Ally Condie and The Circle by Dave Eggers. Such unethical practices consist of their obsessive need to control others and their reaction when control cannot be obtained, how they will endanger others for their own personal gain, and how they abuse the power given to them.…

    Odyssey's Persuasive Speech

    When a political leader persuades through the use of appealing to emotions and prejudices rather than reasoning, or speaks critically, and appeals to those who are followers, they have set themselves up a foundation for demagoguery. Throughout history, our country has seen a long list of demagogues, such as Hitler and Joseph McCarthy. It is obvious why such an issue should matter to us. Both were politically leaders who carved themselves a huge hole in history as the villain. The latest demagogue and modern day Hitler is running to be our next president, and he goes by the name of Donald J. Trump.…

    The Party Primaries And Caucuses

    Party primaries and caucuses have historically produced the successful nominees for conventions which served to formally anoint the presidential candidates on the first ballot. But in the event of a competitive primary process, delegates at a convention could have more difficulty in reaching a clear majority of support for any one candidate. A brokering process then takes place, with multiple ballots a possibility. Had John Kasich and Ted Cruz not dropped out of the race for the Republican nomination, it looked as if the country was headed towards our first brokered convention since 1952. The 2016 Presidential election has brought into question some of the rules and procedures that govern over primaries and conventions.…
