The political debate on Monday night contained numerous moments of bickering. The debate was highly anticipatedsince it was the first time the two candidates have spoken face to face in 10 years. On Monday night, Trump tried his best to appeal to the American people by proving Hilary wrong. As Hilary suggested, many believe he is not showing his tax returns due to supposed tax fraud. He countered Hilary's point about tax return, and said he is not allowed to release them based on his attorney's advice but he would go against his lawyer's wishes when and if Hilary provides the people with her underground emails. At 29:40 Trump begins ignoring the question because instead of answering the question he was asked, he turned the blame on Clinton. However, it is also a fallacy because he is also saying that if Hilary shows the emails, he will show his tax returns. That statement is an example of logos.
Trump and Clinton, the two main presidential candidates of the 2016 election, both made various false statements throughout the debate. However, Trump said, "I did not support the war in Iraq… the records show I’m right.” This statement, according to politifact, is extremely false. In this statement, the moderator said that the questions have been judgement questions and asked why Trump said he supported the war. Trump was under the impression that the records show that he is right and began ignoring the question again. He blamed Hilary for the mainstream media lies, and the moderator preceded to ask again why he supported the war and why are his judgements correct. Trump interrupted him and said he lightly said it on various television and news interviews. Therefore, Trump never fully answered the question.
Towards the end of the debate Hilary recalls the derogatory statements Trump has made against, women and the many workers he has cheated, by filing bankruptcy and not paying his workers, in his life time. Clinton leads by saying her word is good and insinuates that his is not. She makes it obvious that Trump does not respect women the way she feels they should be respected and apologizes to all of the people he has robbed or offended. Clinton, at 1:31, begins to list all of the offensive things he has said and done. She expresses her sympathy for the workers he robbed, not understanding how someone could not pay an innocent man for their work, comparing it to her father who worked incredibly hard as a drape installer. She uses the bandwagon appeal by telling the audience to vote for her because Alicia Mechado, beauty pageant contestant who was called Ms.Piggy by Trump is voting for her.
