Ted Cruz, in the first republican debate of 2016, claims that President Obama is wrong in presenting his optimistic view of America’s economy in his state of the union speech. Cruz highlights his dissent by referring to an incident with Iran that Obama ignored, and the declaring that the economy is actually declining. He contradicts Obama’s statement in order to display his own candor in dealing with the facts. Cruz address regular Americans because he refers to his audience as “we,” and “us” and promises to fight for the “working men and women” of the country; and using a serious and bold tone to convince the audience of his sincerity and care for the country.

Jeb Bush, in the republican presidential debate on January 14, claims that by limiting the right to bear arms, Obama is taking rights away from law abiding citizens instead of strengthening the laws already in place. Bush illustrates this problem by explaining how we need to focus on the people who trigger the gun and their mental health issues and prevent them from doing any crimes in the future. He mentions the wrongdoings of Obama in order to display his view on gun control and his actions in his presidency. Bush is addressing the citizens and persuading them to vote for him, since he is representing them and their right to bear arms.

In the sixth GOP debate, Jeb Bush argues that Obama underestimates the threat of Isis by not ensuring that America is taking the correct military actions to fight them. According to Bush, the Obama administration has weakened the military so that it cannot project its power strongly anymore, and therefore it is not effective in the fight against ISIS. Bush highlights this supposed failures on Obama's part, to show that in contrast to Obama he will build up the military and take the necessary actions to defeat ISIS. Bush is addressing the people that are worried about ISIS and is persuading them to vote for him, by demonstrating his plan to defeat ISIS.
