Attacking a Straw Man:
This concept was intriguing to me, the idea of attacking something
that doesn't really exist on the mere basis for having an argument. I have a
feeling this goes on a lot in politics, and for some reason it works for
politicians. Despite the fact that they are not really refuting what their
opponent said, just attacking the possible inclinations surrounding it. The
whole idea was created for individuals who do not have an argument, so in a way
it could be suggested as cheating. And it’s cheating that I feel like a lot of
people fail to recognize. In the next presidential I will be curious to see how
often this tactic is actually used.
