Data Table for Ted Cruz


Fallacy
Quote
Anaylsis
Appeal to ignorance
United States of America is the exceptional nation, the nation other countries aspire to be like
Who is to say we are the exceptional nation? Who is the comparison?
Ad Hominem
•Two terms of the disastrous Obama-Clinton foreign policy have had one useful effect
Attacks other parties that have nothing to do with him running for personal gain
Appeal to consequences
•In order to restore America’s safety and security, we must rebuild our military. If you think defending the country is expensive, try not defending it
Unspoken consequences but I feel like this could work
Possible Poisoning the well?
•On day one, a President Cruz will immediately repeal every word of President Obama’s dangerous
No reason to bring in Obama, maybe blaming him for current state of US


Bandwagon
“Based on Regan conservatism”
Using regans name because he had a high standing
