PART 2: WHO IS YOUR TOP #1 CANDIDATE? EXPLAIN YOUR REASONING

B. Identify ALL of the following tools of rhetoric used by the candidate (or not used) in your rationale and give an example of how each one was used by the candidate (cut and paste an example from their essay) or how it should have been used if it wasn’t.
