Mike Pence Analysis

Improved Essays
The night of October 4th was quite eventful at Longwood University in Farmville, Virginia. Both Senator Tim Kaine and Governor Mike Pence proved good points and represented their parties and their running mates very well. Elaine Quijando did not do a very good job as the moderator. This allowed the potential Vice Presidents to get a little out of hand a few times. Although the it did get out of hand a few times, they were very respectable for the most part. Senator Kaine got to speak first. He started off with a story that he barely touched on and then went into taking about why he supports Hilary. Then he turned things over to Mr.Pence. He talked about growing up in a small town. Then he gets into why he supports Trump. Then the questions …show more content…
Kaine also talks about investing in education, enhancing business growth, and raising taxes. These are just some of his ideas for his "Five Step Plan". He also brings up that Trump's plan is a "Trump First" tax plan which means it is to benefit Trump. Another thing that Senator Kaine brings up is that Trump has broken his first promise of releasing his tax returns if he got the nomination. He also brings up the point that every presidential nominee since Nixon has released their tax returns. Governor Pence brings up the success of his economic budget in the state of Indiana, which he governs. He talks about how he will lower taxes and end the war on coal unlike the plan of his opponents. His stance on Trump's tax returns is that Trump is a business man that has properly used tax codes in use for circumstances like he was in. A topic that both representatives hardly touched on was that of 'Social Security'. They both plan on meeting obligations to protect it and keep it alive longer than it is expected to last currently. The next topic was 'Law Enforcement and Racial Relations'. Governor Pence talks about "Law and Order" which has been repeated by Trump numerous times ,but mostly during his nomination speech. He also said the force is a good thing when used for good. Now on for …show more content…
I also liked when he said that Senator Kaine would be going back to Senate, implying that he is going to win and Hilary and Kaine are going to lose. I also liked when he brought up about the "creative lines" or lies that Kaine was blabbering on about. Somethings I didn't like were when Governor Pence would shake his head when Kaine would say things and he would just disregard what he was saying. Some other things I didn't like was when he wouldn't listen to the moderator or he would just not answer the question at hand. There were multiple times where he went completely off topic to avoid answering the question. Somethings that I liked from Senator Kaine would be when he was disrupted by Pence he responded by saying "Now we're even!". Some other things I liked were at the end when both men talked about their stance on religion and how the are very devoted but will keep that out of the way to protect and serve the American People. Somethings I didn't like that Senator Kaine said was when he was talking about being against the death penalty because he was Catholic. I didn't like this because less than a minute later he was talking about how he supports abortion. So he either lied about supporting it or he lied about being a devout

    He was glad to hear Pence will not only have an office in the Senate, but the House, too, “so there will always be communication with the vice president’s office,” Renacci said. “It’s nice to know you have the ability to communicate with people inside the administration,” something that has been lacking. “I’m one of the few voices who can get to the administration for the people of…

    Eventually in her speech, Palin mentions the democratic nominee, senator Barack Obama. She uses a very crafty technique of not mentioning the nominee's name while talking about his political views, in a way she dehumanizes him. In a short paragraph she uses anaphora, a repetition of a certain phrase, to really get her point across. Mentioning a certain view of Obama, she repeats the words “raise taxes” over and over throughout this constituent of the speech to make the audience believe Obama's taxing list seem longer than it actually is.…

    He then ends the speech trying to tie all this in to the current political climate, and talks about how if we can save ourselves we can save veterans. His speech while good was quite confusing as it constantly jumped from point to point, and he doesn’t signal his conclusion or really go over the points he covered, and how they connect. Some of the lessons I took from this speech are how to make subtle but important hand gestures like he did with his fist, that talking with a calm but strong voice is very effective at holding audience attention, that short pauses can be good for collecting your thoughts, and that when speaking to an audience try to move towards where you’re making eye contact, so the audience member feels like you’re talking to them…

    Judge Sotomayor Analysis

    The first question was when he asked was what a good way for society to change is, I felt this was a good question because when someone is running for something the people like to know if they could what they would change in society. Another good question is when he asked about the people and the unelected judges, and how they are quick to change society in a way that is disturbing. This is important because a lot of people feel that judges should have to be elected by the people just like we elect the president. The last good question is when he asked her about her temperament, and did she feel she had a good one, this was a good question because like he said a lot of people don’t want to go to a judge that they feel are bullies, and they want to make sure the pick a judge who is level headed. If I was a senator three question that I would ask the judicial nominee is.…

    “(We have) more to do for the young woman in East St. Louis, and thousands more like her, who has the grades, has the drive, has the will, but doesn’t have the money to go to college (Obama, para 6).” Interestingly, he follows this statement with an attempt to dissatisfy one of the commonplace arguments against liberal policies. Mr. Obama says that these people do not ‘expect that government will solve all of their problems,’ but that they are willing to work hard in order to achieve their dreams. This seems to solidify Obama’s ethos with the audience, especially when combined with the specific scenarios that he uses to exemplify the need for his policies. The middle section of the speech is dedicated to the 2004 Presidential Election.…

    The best of part of Obama’s Farewell Address was when he told Michelle, his daughters, and Vice President Biden how much he cared for them and how proud he was of them. This made me feel really happy because I appreciate when people are thankful for all that they have. The worst part of the speech occurred at the beginning when he stuttered a bit and couldn’t find anything to say. It made me feel very awkward and unsure of how the speech was going to go. I liked his reference to Atticus Finch from To Kill a Mockingbird because I felt it was very fitting.…

    In 1961, John F. Kennedy took the podium after being sworn in as the 35th president of the United States. People gathered around, despite the bitter cold, in hopes of hearing reassurance from their new national leader. At this time in history America was struggling with social inequalities, racial tensions, and a fight against communism. With the current issues in mind, Kennedy sought to invoke a sense of unity across the nation. Through the use of rhetorical devices such as strong dictation, emotional appeals, powerful language, and brevity, Kennedy was able to deliver and immensely effective speech that inspired and emboldened his audience.…

    The main topic was immigration, the nominees argue that they will not deport illegal child or illegal immigrants that don't have a criminal record, which I think is good because if they are not doing any harm why they should be deported. Also, the nominees promised to improve the immigration reforms and legislations, I think this could make a big change in the immigrant families. I like that Sanders wants to enhance the labor conditions to illegal immigrants and the public in general, Sanders argues that Hillary is influenced by Wallstreet, I believe this may be the truth because its history. Another topic was free college Hillary says that what Sanders says about free college is too good to be the truth which is truth. I still like Sanders…

    In the last couple of years, the United States of America has seen a huge increase in gun violence and an increase in trying to figure out what to do about it. In several speeches at Washington D.C. politicians spoke about the tragic accident of Sandy Hook Elementary. The politicians that spoke there all believed that no matter what the gun laws were, the violent act against innocent children and teachers could not have been prevented. There have been numerous studies that have proven that stricter gun laws actually leads to an increase of crime, and in some instances that rate nearly triples. Not all politicians believed what everybody was saying, but they all have a common goal, which is to help protect the United States from criminals.…

    A famous example of someone who successfully utilizes kairos is President Barack Obama. Much of his presidential success can be contributed to his persuasive and engaging speeches which affect people’s emotions and ultimately, their actions in the polls.
