The Third Presidential Debate: Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, October 19, 2016.

16:50 - 27:50 and 1:15:27 - 1:24:00

I chose the third presidential debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump from October 19, 2016. During the times of 16:50 – 27:50 the debate is concerned with deportation and within this amount of time it is clear the position, tactics and personality that Trump has and his feelings towards his opponent. Another section around 1:15:27 shows Trump prominently on the position of national debt.

What Trump Did Well

Donald Trump during his debate uses many techniques to get his views across and to demonstrate his personality and care for our nation. He uses scare tactics, emotion, bragging, personal examples, blame and comedy/insulting to inform and persuade his audience. All of these factor into helping him come across as a regular person who is dedicated to helping the American people. He uses scare tactic when talking about problems with drugs, ISIS and abortion. He uses bragging to show his achievements, who he works with and who supports him. He uses personal examples of people he has met and their stories to demonstrate job loss and violence in America. He uses blame to show what Hillary has not done, her positions and how she has flip flopped on issues. And finally, he uses comedy and insulting in a few ways: to be more personable, draw light on situations, make fun of how messed up people/politics are and because he simply cannot help it.

What Trump Did Poorly

Trump poorly explains exactly how his positions will be followed through. He also tends to turn a complement or fact, like someone supporting him that has never supported a candidate, into a bragging competition. Specifically, in this debate, I would advise Trump to speak more because it was heavily focused on Hillary. Trump got his points across but needed more substance rather than filler worlds like ‘fantastic’ and ‘wonderful’.

What To Work On

During the debates Trump, should have talked about ways to improve education in the United States. Trump focuses more on protecting domestic policy rather than foreign but he needs to explain how he plans to stop our involvement with other countries. Trump has plans to make great relationships with other countries however he does not promote this as much as his plans to set up boarders, have strict vetting and more forced deportation. Also, he should bring up more facts and reasoning behind his issues like, many immigrants are patiently waiting to get into the country the right way and that it is not fair that others can come in illegally or that Chicago has some of the strictest gun laws and still the highest rate of crime.
