Using the Winning Card in 2012 American debates. Strategic Maneuvering and Fallacies in the Political Debates between Barrack Obama and Mitt Romeny: Pragmatic analysis

      Аннотация: People are different and everyone has his /her character that leads to a difference of opinion. This difference of opinion has to be settled to reach an agreement. Argumentation can play a role to achieve such an aim in the political realm, especially, the presidential debates between Barrack Obama and Mitt Romney in 2102 campaign. This study tries to figure out the candidate who avoids not to be caught as fallacious one and adheres to the standards of reasonableness while being effective at the same time to get his viewpoint accepted and prove himself right before the voters. In spite of the turmoil the world is in, the author hopes to present an effective alternative to such mess through new methods of reasonableness and argumentation.
