The advertisement “Why?” paid for by Donald J. Trump for President intrigued me because i wanted to chose an add that showed an attack against Clinton. I chose it because i have seen so many videos attacking Trump and i wanted to see a different point of view. This advertisement is a mixture of both logos and ethos. The ad starts with a general question that Hilary made during a speech which was, “Why am i not 50 points ahead?”. Throughout the ad the voiceover gives several facts and reason for why she isn’t, like saying that the FBI director said that their was classified information in the emails and her policies made ISIS. It is ethos because the reasons that it is giving for why Hillary isn’t up by 50 points bring up morale questions. For example can she delete and and speak about classified material on a private server, can she call half of Tump supported deplorable. This rhetoric is supposed to be a attack on Clinton. It is meant to put her in a bad light. The intended audience of this advertisement i feel is toward maybe the undecided voters. The language used in the video is very strong in trying to get the audience to understand the bad things that secratery has done and said. The language used it appropriate for the reality of its situation. The language is depicting true events that occurred. The advertisement is being truthful and construing facts whatsoever. I think that this piece of rhetoric was actually quite effective. It really brought some very important facts to consider when voting for Hillary Clinton. The central them of the ad was explains why she isn’t 50 points ahead, and it did a good job gathering good, truthful evidence. I personally agreed with the ad and found it to be very effective. It definitely reinforced my image of Hillary clinton. Although is did bring up second thoughts it still didnt take away the wrongs of Trump.
