    Name of Ad: Mandatory(Obama, 2012)

    This link is a political advertisement for Barack Obama in the 2012 presidential election. This ad uses the persuasion technique of "Association" because it talks about the other candidate, Mitt Romney, in a negative way. The ad shows that coal miners were forced to appear at Mitt Romney's rally and if they did not come, they could lose their jobs.

  3. “Hillary Clinton: Tomorrow” (aired on November 7, 2016)
    Link: https://newrepublic.com/political-ad-database/hillary-clinton-tomorrow/MTEvNy8xNjpUb21vcnJvdw

    This particular political campaign ad was for the presidential election in 2016. This ad uses the technique “transformation” effectively because the video plays a soft piano tune in the background and the setting in the video displays a comfortable living space with warm lighting which gives Hillary Clinton a friendly and trustworthy image. The visuals and audio in this ad enhance Hillary Clinton’s message by saying that she will work hard to make America safe and strong.

  4. In the political campaign advertisement by Donald Trump titled "Two Americas: Economy" Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4obk0P2YCFg
    This ad was published on August 29th 2016 during the US presidential campaign. Trump uses the technique "association" by telling how the economy becomes messed up under Hillary Clinton's ideas and also how families are affected by it. The ad quotes, "In Hillary Clinton's America middle class families get crushed, taxes and spending go up..." Trump tries to appeal to the viewers by making his opposition have a negative impression.

    Governor Huckabee released an ad on the eve of Christmas that proclaimed that Christmas was not about politics but about "the birth of Christ". The technique used in this ad is association as the Governor links himself to a time or event that is usually associated with happiness and jolly. He appeals to such a broad audience from those who are heavily religious to those who simply celebrate Christmas.

    Title:Bernie Sanders Campaign Political Ad - America
    Sanders published this ad January 21, 2016 to promote his socialist policies. He displayed transformation through the people he met that changed their lives for the better. He also used repetition with the images of families and people gathering at his rallies to support him. He also omits the costly efforts of his reforms by only displaying the happiness it brings to the people.

    This advertisement for John F. Kennedy for the 1960 presidential election greatly used the technique of repetition. It had a little jingle/ song that had the repetition of his name and how he is a good match for president. It is appealing as the song is very catchy and is able to stick in peoples' minds so that they remember to vote for him.

  10. In President Trump's political campaign by NRA called "Kristi's Story," the technique of association is used as we are told Kristi's story and how she was nearly killed and many people have family members or friends that have had an experience somewhat close to that at some stage of their life. Kristi speaks of the right for a woman to bear arms and how Trump believe in that, but Hillary Clinton does not. The campaign portrays Hillary Clinton as a negative characters as she is shown to be against woman bearing arms, but gives Trump a positive image.

    In Hillary Clinton's "Captain Khan" 2016 campaign ad, persuasion techniques of association and contrast are conveyed. The ad contrasts Donald Trump's ideas of banning Muslims in America with Hillary Clinton's acceptance of Muslims. The ad also uses association to emotionally connect with the audience so they can sympathize how the father of a Muslim soldier feels after sacrificing himself to save other soldiers from a suicide bomber. The father asks Trump if his son would have had a place in America, despite him being Muslim and serving his country.

    Greg Abbot Tackles Texas Traffic
    The principle persuasive technique used in this advertisement is Association. Greg Abbott complains about the shared issue of traffic in Texas’s major urban centers. By advocating for more spending and expansion of Texas highways, Abbott established himself as the solution to an incredibly irritating problem, building positive emotions for his campaign. It also contrasts his intentions with the intentions of current politicians who have reallocated funding for roads for use in other projects.

    This link shows the top 10 presidential campaign commercials. On of them, for Lyndon B Johnson, is called "Daisy Girl" and is from 1964. The ad starts off with a girl who looks sad and then a voice starts to count down. Upon saying "zero" an explosion happens. This scenario is regarded as what would happen if voters do not go out and vote for Johnson, saying the "stakes are too high." They largely use the technique of association by not so subtlety saying Johnson's opponent is going to lead America (the girl) to death.

    This add uses association, the candidate is Katie McGinty, a women, and she's speaking on the platform of equal pay for women. Meanwhile the screen shows her opponent, Pat Toomey in black and white looking rather unfriendly while images of women of varying ages flash behind him and talking about how he's voted against equal pay for woman, this is contrast between the two candidates' stances.

    Hubert Humphrey's 1968 attack ad against Richard Nixon utilized the association and repetition to target Nixon's selected vice president, Spiro Agnew. The ad consisted of continuous laughter while Spiro Agnew's name slowly appeared on screen. The laughter in the ad associates Spiro Agnew as being mediocre and inexperienced. The repetition of the laughter makes the ad shocking and intimidating as it emphasizes the message of who would vote for such an inexperienced candidate that everyone laughs at.

  18. The Donald Trump "Make America Great Again" political ad uses the technique of contrast to make it attractive. Trump did not really like Obama's presidency, expressing that he was one of the worst presidents in our nation's history. By using this slogan, Trump implies that he will bring America back to its previous status , which is said to be supposedly a better society than that of Obama's run (according to Trump). This technique is used to persuade people to vote for him as President and emotionally appeals to the narionalism of the people.

    This is a presidential advertisement for Donald Trump's called "Corruption" against Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election. The main persuasive technique the ad uses is association. Trump uses the association technique to discredit Hillary's intentions and actions. Throughout the ad, there are negative statements brought up about Hillary Clinton such as she will corrupt America and is only seeking for power. He also accused her of having the same mindset as Russians and dictators. This makes her seem untrusting and someone that the Americans should not vote for as she can be linked to this negativity.

    This political campaign was for George W. Bush in 2004 called "Windsurfing" when he ran against John Kerry. This advertisement uses a lot of reputation, listing what he supported than later opposed it for multiple topics. The use of reputation shows how often Kerry would switch sides, that greatly affected reputation and chances as president. It also uses transformation because it actually shows Kerry windsurfing in a bathing suit, making it already look un-presidential like, but constantly changing direction, really emphasizing how often he changes his decisions with the slogan "John Kerry, Whichever way the wind blows"

    In Ronald Reagan's "Morning in America" ad from the 1984 presidential election, association is used to help connect Reagan with every day American citizens. He relates to the public by discussing how the average American will go to work in the morning and claims that 6,500 people will be married in that single day. This ad also contrasts Reagan's message about inflation with the happy everyday life of an American to better drive his campaign.

    "You Make Me Feel" Anti-Trump Ad
    This presidential campaign ad against Trump uses association and contrast. It is showing the people, especially everyday women, who are being hurt by Trump's words. By showing these ordinary women who are "just like you" in a way in an innocent light, you start to associate yourself with them and relate to them. Towards the end, the ad adds some of Trump's most disgusting and sexist words, contrasting them with the innocence of the women, who then are shown holding up "#vote" signs. By contrasting the evils of Trump and the innocence of everyday women and people, the ad promotes voting against Trump.

    The campaign for William Henry Harrison is well known for his songs/ slogans of "Tippecanoe and Tyler too!" His campaign was signficantly modeled off of the Association technoque because he appealed to the common man. He did this through connecting him to log cabins, homespun clothing, and other aspects to the lower class and middle class life. Harrison was also a general for the War of 1812, which also gave this sense of pride from the people. His connection to them gave him the win in the election for president. His slogan and songs also added were incredibly catchy due to his use of Repetition, which also aided his win. It makes sense to use these techniques because it was a time where the common man was becoming a symbol for the presidency, especially after Jackson. All in all, his entire campaign significantly helped him to win the presidency due to his differing techniques.

    In 2016, Ben Carson ran in the presidential election with a political campaign ad promoting an end to abortion. He used the tool of transformation to create an emotional appeal to voters. He creates a feeling of and sadness with images of children and the music played in the background . Appealing to these emotions, he makes voters feel sadness towards the idea of abortion, and then says he will end it. With this emotional connection and offer to end their abortion, his campaign was strong for those who were not only against it but also unsure how they felt about it.

  29. In the 2012 Presidential Election between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney, Obama's Presidential Campaign Ad video "Connect the Dots" uses the association technique. This association between Mitt Romney and Rick Scott, where Rick Scott ran a company that paid a recorded fine for commiting Medicare fraud then cutting millions from health care. Similarly, Romney was a director of a company that stole millions from Medicare. Shows a picture of Rick Scott and Mitt Romney shaking hands and says If Mitt Romney wins he would end Medicare making the middle class lose.

  31. In the 2000 election, George W. Bush, who was running against Al Gore, had a political campaign ad that applied the association technique. He talks about personal responsibility, government responsibility, and trusting the people and their businesses. Bush directly addresses and creates a connection with the audience by directly asking the audience with words and phrases such as: “you”, “we”, “I trust you”, “personal”, “to the people”, “trust local people”. This ad emotionally and personally connects with whoever watches the ad, as he clearly states that he trusts and wants to work with “you”. It reveals a sense of teamwork, convincing the audience that without their contribution, he will not be successful.

  32. The campaign ad I chose is from the 2012 election with Mitt Romney running against President Barack Obama. The goal of the ad was to get people to not vote for Mitt Romney and the technique used was contrast. The ad itself uses opposing elements to say that "Romney is not the solution. He is the problem." The contrast was deceptive by taking the picture out of context and using non-existent facts. The negative elements in the ad make a voter not want Romney in office and make Obama the clear choice.

  33. This presidential campaign ad against Trump uses the technique of association in order to make the audience connect Trump with racism and sexism. The ad shows a young woman talking about controversial topics Trump is known for, such as demeaning women and stereotyping Muslims and Mexicans. The woman goes on to call him a bully and tells the audience that he's not fit to be president. By pointing out the negative topics he is associated with, the ad ends by urging people to vote against Trump.

Nixon made voters feel like they depended on, by saying “ this time, vote like your whole world depended on it” This slogan manipulates and brings more people to vote by using their emotions to lure them in.

    Type of ad: television ad

    In this television ad from the 2012 presidential election, President Obama highlights the successes of his first term and outlines his plans for the next term as he tries to sway voters in his favor over Governor Romney's. One tactic this ad employs is that of omission as President Obama states successful and positive statistics from his first term without truly delving into the details of the actions and the possible negative repercussions from them. The ad also makes use of association as it reinforces the link between the successes of President Obama and happy, smiling Americans, as well as families and hopeful young children. The ad also has a hint of contrast in it as President Obama asks his viewers to compare his new plan with that of his oponent's in order to see that his is superior and better for the nation's advancement.

Clinton mostly used repetition in this video. Not repetition of words persay, but of an idea. The idea that any one can do anything, he did. There is also association as he relates part of his past to President Kennedy who was admired by many. He also uses association when he mentions wanting to make a difference where he was from. This video, as well as the rest of the biographical video, would be a very compelling and positive one which would win support. Clinton is known for being a very likable and charismatic person, that is part of why he was elected.

  56. In Jimmy Carter's "Washington" Ad, he uses association to connect himself with a strong country. However, Carter doesn't really talk about his plans to make a strong issue and the "confusion" technique is used to portray him as a strong leader but not saying how he'll lead.

  59. In the 2016 presidential election Donald Trump used the dissociation technique in his campaign to get voters on his side. Trump had said through out campaign that he is a successful real estate mogul who has been able to make billions of his properties around the world.

  61. In the 2016 election, there was an ad made by presidential candidate Hillary Clinton which depicted the results of a poll done by the Washington Post and ABC News. The poll asked if people would vote for Clinton to be president. The results showed that 57% would which initiates the bandwagon effect. It advises the viewers of the ad to vote for Clinton since she has the majority of the people that say they will vote for her. This propaganda technique is used to gain more voters so that Clinton could win the election.

    1. In this video, Eisenhower uses transformation to transform Goldwater from a regular politician to a menace who is willing to put the US in grave danger and willing to kill innocents through his endorsement of nuclear warfare.

    In this video created by the Democratic Party in 1956, the Republican Party is portrayed as a two-headed individual due to their supposed differing views of certain topics. The technique used is association because the Republicans are associated with unsure and "two-headed" individuals.

    In this video of Ronal Reagan's reelection campaign commercial in 1984, it portrays that he utilizes the association technique. Throughout the whole video he constantly mentions the future generations and how "we" are responsible for setting up a good future for them, therefore using positive association to relate to his supporters. Reagan also relates his policies of expanding employment opportunities to the everyday lives of common people, which links the candidate's policies to connect with their supporter's personal experiences.

Adams campaign hit home attacking his Marriage and military reputation.
