Political Rhetoric

Political candidates use lots of ethos, pathos, and logos to form their argument. With their arguments, they try to persuade the people of America to vote for them. In order to grasp the attention of Americans, political candidates try to connect with the audience. By connecting with the audience, they use lots of pathos. They use stories that the people could relate to or they speak on topics that Americans find very familiar. The 2016 campaign is a great example of where you can find the use of these rhetorical terms.
