Hillary Clinton's Weaknesses

Superior Essays
The 2016 presidential election is fast approaching, and as I write this it is official that the presidency will be between the Republican nominee Donald J. Trump, and the Democratic nominee Hillary R. Clinton. It wasn’t quite simple for me to choose between the two nominees. Hence, I doubt that neither of them are creditable enough to serve the country. Most likely the majority of Americans will speculate that they do not have a preference between the two candidates. Nevertheless, I evaluated information in reference to the candidates’ individual strengths and weaknesses. Also, to convince me more I tapped into the national issues that are being debated, and identify the candidates’ position on the matters whether they are strong or weak, and …show more content…
I thoughtfully accepted that she can be countered by the majority of the nations’ leaders if she is heading the wrong direction. Also, it is a plus factor that she has gained experience in politics, knowing the “gateways and exits” in politics. In addition, she has an acceptable proposition on trade. Nevertheless, her strengths can be weaknesses too. The first major weakness of Clinton is her email-scandal issue. It disputes her credibility and sincerity to serve the American people. Also, she is tarnished by being a corrupt, fraud, and double-dealing politician. Moreover, her immigration program encourages illegal …show more content…
First, I would like to address the issue of immigration. The Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, vehemently supports a strict regulation of immigration. As seen on the news, he repeatedly pointed out about building walls, and he reprobates illegal immigrants. The strong point I perceived on this advocacy is mass immigration will be regulated, thus illegal immigration will be discouraged. I don’t disapprove people coming to America to yearn for opportunities, and I am not anti-immigrants. It is acceptable provided that the government doesn’t have to subsidize them. Also, the immigrants should enter the country legally. Migrating to America without possible employment, and adding to the unemployed-poor population will not help the economy. The downside of this is just a little part of the naturalized citizens who understandably want to be united with their families from their original countries. In contrast, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, champions immigration. As seen on the news, she promised in her interviews that she will not stop immigration. Thus, understandable to gain the votes that tremendously come from the naturalized immigrants. This advocacy is favorable to the naturalized citizens and immigrants. However, the weak points of pro-immigration is quite portentous. It encourages illegal immigrants to enter the country knowing that eventually they will be able to

    In a recent presidential debate, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton argued their character, and if they are fit to serve as president of the United States or not. Throughout their debate they depended on both rhetorical fallacies and strategies to build their arguments and prove their capability to run this country. Although the arguments made by the candidates seem to be just repetitive nuances of common issues, this debate gives us an idea of the duties and character traits a president must obtain. From start to finish, the candidates in this debate use rhetorical strategies to make their arguments stand out.…

    Hillary Clinton is an advocate for a fair and just immigration system. She explains that instead of breaking up the law-abiding immigrant families who have enhanced America for years, we should be able to grant them a path to citizenship. Correspondingly, Clinton will continue to support the passing of a comprehensive immigration reform that provides a path to citizenship, treats every person with respect, maintains the rule of law, defends and protects our borders and national security, and most importantly to bring in millions of hardworking people into the economy. Additionally, she will support the parents of DREAMers and others who have contributed positively to their communities and hopefully allow them to be eligible for the same opportunities…

    Despite HRC shortcomings and downfalls, during the most important campaign run of her life, she is forced to go up against a white man that is racist, misogynistic, a bigot, privileged to infinity, sexist, a prude and more. She is on a platform where her opponent can do all of these things blatantly, and his supporters still does not bat an eye. She still has to fight and fight HARD, because she is a woman. Why is this race still "so close"? I hear people at my job talk about women not being in the top positions here, but in the same line say they don't want HRC as the president because of how other nations may not respect women (but want men and women to have equal pay and same opportunities).…

    The most interesting detail I learned from the books is that a candidate being able to connect with voters is one of the most important things a candidate must do to win the presidency. It can be seen in the 1992 election as Clinton was able to connect with people and make them believe that change was possible. Bush in this election was unable to connect and so even though he was president when the Berlin Wall and the Soviet Union fell, he was unable to win the presidency. I believe this connects quite perfectly with the current election. Donald Trump was able to maybe not necessarily connect with voters, but he able to connect more than Hillary Clinton was able to.…

    I believe we all deserve the same chances and America should be an open home for all”. The fact that Trump wants to deport so many people would enrage her just like it did to Bloomberg. Although she would agree with Bloomberg here, she would disagree with him on his point about growing small businesses instead of big businesses. My interviewee wonders “how our economy can thrive with such high taxes on big companies.” Here she would highly question Bloomberg's argument of Trump’s business plan and how it may “lead to greater debt and more unemployment”.…

    Immigration, as defined by Merriam Webster Dictionary as, “the act of coming to another country to live there permanently,” is rapidly becoming a controversial topic in the United States (“immigrant”). According to PBS, immigrants, most commonly migrating from regions in Latin America and Asia, are eager to cross the American border as they are often fleeing harsh governments or religious oppression and relocating in search of a better life for themselves, as well as their family. (PBS) The recent influx in immigration to the United States has caused Americans and politicians alike to reconsider immigration laws and lobby for immigration reforms.

Nevertheless, will these candidates stay true to their nomination speeches or follow the age old tradition of contradicting their messages? Both these nominees are infamous but their candidate speeches are powerful and impactful because of the usage of rhetorics. For the most part, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton utilize the same rhetorical styles in their speeches; however, the way of incorporating those styles makes their political messages unique: for Trump ,a broken system that only order can repair; for Clinton, hope and the American promise .…
