Jesse Jackson's 1988 Presidential Campaign Film



            This Presidential Campaign film, although employing many rhetorical devices, I personally believe its strongest effects come from its various enthymemes. The enthymemes occur almost exclusively as short scenes involving things such as; crime, racism, violence, inspirational American landmarks and people cooperating together. It is basically implied that many of these bad things are the result of Republican rule, and the good ones potentially the end result of voting in a democrat (himself even though he is not the democratic candidate).
