Good morning Ladies and Gentlemen, I am here to inform everybody that I, John Smith, will make the United States stand at the top of the world again. Our country is now facing great danger, we have the highest public debt of the world, we have lost to Russia on Ukraine crisis and ISIS on the middle east problem, China, on the other hand, is threatening our market and destroying our economy. It is already a dangerous period, but now, none of the presidential candidates can lead the country through. One has no political experience and the other one will never share what was she hiding. As the treasury of the state, I acknowledge some obvious mistakes we can improve. Our country has the highest military budget in the world which is insane. If I am the president, I will input more money on public health care and support a free college system. Also, I guarantee that I will bring more job positions to everybody by establishing new trade agreements with South America and other third world countries.   So, every American citizen, if you are willing to see our country to step into power again, please vote for me and I, John Smith, will not let you regret for your vote.  

The presidential speech students did recently is a different speech compare to what students have done in the previous months. Presidential speech focuses on pathos and how to organize the ideas clearly and transmit it to audiences. Students not only need to focus on their own voice, sound, standing position and eye contacts, they also need to really focus on the content they have to deliver an effective presidential speech. By writing and presenting a presidential speech, I learned a lot. First, I understand how to have an effective ending which will increase the effectiveness of the speech. Usually, by using inclusive language and restate my main thesis and points, I will establish an effective speech that will refresh the memory inside audiences. Another important point is through the speech, my use of pathos was strengthened. In the first draft, I did not stress many patho techniques which made my passage will not appeal to reader's emotion. However, after several peer reviews, I understand the importance of pathos so I add several stories of my fake relative of how they struggle to pay a bill and connect the dead children to the issue of gun control to further strengthen the policy I propose. On logo level, I understand the importance to use credible sources to add credibility to my speech. Also by using logic conversion, I can further strengthen my points and present it clearly to my audience. However, I have already understood the importance of logos but my problem is the overuse of logos which might have a negative effect on the audience by thinking that I am a robot .This time, I only use one source per point to reduce the numbers of evidence I use which I believe, have a more positive effect. On presenting side, I still have some issues I need to improve but is better than last major project. First, clearness, sometime I spoke words with unconfidence and cannot speak words clearly to let readers understand due to English is my second language. This time, I believe I perform better on the clearness of speech delivery. Still, I have a long way to go after I have seen how other American Native speakers deliver their speech with confidence. On the other hand, tones, I often start with a strong opening but my tone will continue to slow and turn into a monotone. For this issue, I still believe I am better than the first time I am delivering my speech. After several practices with debates and speeches, I might have performed better on delivering a speech with a variation of tone to attract readers. Overall ,I believe I have learned a lot from this class on content and presentation skill. However, I still need to focus on how to improve my tones and the clearness of speech due to nervous and unfamiliar with English. To improve that, the only way is to continue having debates and different public speaking tasks which will reduce my stress and practice my speaking skills with other people. 

The moderator in this debate perform a very strong role and did ask some key questions to the candidates. Chirs Wallace, the son of Mike Wallace, performed excellently in the third presidential debate. He asked some key questions about abortion and citizenship directly to two candidates. Also, he performs well at controlling the process of these two debates by ask two candidates hold down and mention this is a free discussion round. Chris Wallace had an excellent ending round and did ask some questions. He challenges both Donald Trump and Hilary Clinton by using other facts and destroy their logic fallacies.

Overall, Donal Trump made me feel he wins the second presidential debate due to had a lower standard on him. During the debate, Donald Trump did perform some personal attacks. However, different from Hilary, people usually expect Donald Trump to say something ridiculous that does not follow debate rules. This does not fit Hilary when Hilary criticize Donald Trump as a short-sided and dangerous person, some audience will be astonished of what Hilary act and say. It is hard to consider what kind of strategic that Donald Trump used belongs too. He did not appear to logic, credibility or emotions but simply lowering audience's expectations and waiting for his enemy to make some mistakes like what he did on Cruz and Rubio. The different expectation level Donald Trump created outside the debate is one of the most important strategies he used which helps him to win this debate.
    On the other hand, Donald Trump criticizes Hilary Clinton's allies such as Obamacare and Bernie Sanders. Although many politicians supported Hilary Clinton's with speeches and tweets but Donald Trump can use the disadvantages of her allies to attack her. For example, Donald Trump raised the problem of Obamacare  to criticize the efficiency of Hilary's politics. "Everything is broken about it. Everything" is what Donald Trump describes Obamacare and unfortunately, Hilary Clinton needs to respond the criticize due to she do support it. Donald Trump did not criticize with logic or telling stories but just simply attacking it. Donald Trump mentioned Obamacare but simply saying he will repeal it and replace with something great. Although what he says does not contain any common logic strategic but only logic fallacies like bandwagon but undeniably, he made his words simple and straightforward which helped transmit the information directly into audience's head.
  Hilary Clinton used more logic to attack Trump. For example, "I have said nobody who makes less than 250000$ a year and ,that's the vast majority as you know, will have their taxes raised." In this sentence, Hilary Clinton used put Donald Trump as the enemy of the majority of United States' citizens. Although Hilary Clinton did not explain the logic behind it but Donald Trump did mention he will raise taxes for most of the people. Hilary Clinton is not having

Clinton- Logo mainly , supported by data,  Pathos too, standing with others when criticizing Trump

Donald Trump-Pathos mainly, by using a significant amount of personal attacks and personal stories

The main tactic is Donal Trump pulling Hilary Clinton into the level he is like. The last presidential debate, the impression Donald Trump gives me is he is rude. However, this time, Hilary Clinton did criticize Donald Trump with some personal attacks. Still, Clinton remained a good use of Speech strategics. 

  -Mails: No direct evidence and the use of 

  -Muslim: Trump believes it is still a problem,Muslim need to respond when to see it. Hilary Clinton did not use problem to describe

  -Something good about your opponent?  Hilary: He has good children Trump:She is a strong woman who always fights. Either of them admits that their opponent has anything good on them. 

  Overall impression: There is some parts that is really like a presidential debate and both sides did show some respect compare to last one but this time when they personal attack each other, they both seem like children fighting for some unfair stuffs. 

Stacking the Deck is a strategy by only reporting one side and ignoring or rejecting the other side of evidence.
For example, certain newspaper just reporting the disadvantages of Donald Trump and ignore the advantages of Donal Trump being a president.
