We break down how she has managed to gain as much traction as she has, and analyze her persuasive communication.

In this episode we take a listen to the first night of the Democratic debates, which occurred over two nights. This is part one of our two-part episode. We've chosen to pick one segment from each issue/topic to analyze how the different candidates responded, as well as persuaded, one another and the audience. Listen to this episode to find out: The hypnotic technique of revivification and how it is used to do a conversational regression during the debate. How the moderators of the debate acted partially to sway audience's opinion and to frame questions for certain candidates to answer. This one photo that changed a whole discussion that you might not have seen yet. How Cory Booker bought himself an extra time slot that wasn't originally there to discuss his position. Utilizing words and catch-phrases that only certain groups know about (in this case, veterans and the military) in order to convincingly frame their opponent. How policy toward Israel and Palestinine became a hot-button topic without even mentioning the name of the country, and why one candidate was singled out for their position on Israel. What Chuck Todd thinks is now a part of "high school life" that wasn't there just a few years ago. Whether quoting the Bible is a good thing, and how one candidate quotes a religious text without saying what they are quoting. How one leading candidate uses the phrase, "This is not about policy, this is personal" which draws us away from reality and into rhetoric The metaphor of a painting that almost draws the audience away from the question being asked And much more!
