In these three presidential debates, Hillary Clinton had a common goal of appearing presidential by presenting a calm demeanor and seeming more loving toward america as a whole, compared to trump. During the first presidential debate, she used a very effective form of rhetoric to take a shot a trump’s view of our country and specifically our black neighborhoods. Since the start of his campaign he has criticized and taken a very negative view of minority and black communities in our country, sometimes attacking their culture as the reason for the violence. Hillary says otherwise saying that trump “paints such a dire negative picture of black communities in our country,”. She also goes on to express the fact that she sees a lot to be “proud of” in those same communities for what they are doing to create opportunities for their children. Some could view this rhetoric as Hillary just being nice and defending that voter population, but I also see it as a very subtle form of an enthymeme as well without directly referencing what trump said. By taking a different path in talking about these people and the way that they live, she is somewhat making trump look like he doesn’t respect blacks/minorities. This only fuels the fire in the argument that he is a “racist” and she comes out at respectable in her views of the american people. I can’t say if this will work in making her look presidential, as there is the other group that might see her as not pressing the racial issue in the US enough. Even with his strong statements, Trump definitely appeals to those people ase he views this as one of his top priorities.
