language error he made I think this is perfectly okay because even the best of us mess up at one point or another and in the end we are all human. 12. Evaluate the Republican rebuttal: a. Who presents the Republican message? Nikki Haley, Governor State of South Carolina presented the response. I thought that the response sounded detached and sort of cold. I would have liked to see less of a robotic sounding response. But other than that I think both speeches were appropriate to their…
