In the NPR article I discussed, the topic was about how it is never too early to start talking about the next presidential election. After such a close election just a few days ago there is already talk about who the next candidates will be in 2016. The speaker, Ken Rubin, shares his knowledge about who would be chosen and why for each political party. For example, he assumes that Republican party could choose Marco Rubio based off of how Mitt Romney did in this recent election. The latino vote was one of the major reasons Romney lost Florida, one of the most important battleground states, and Rubio having great response from the latino voters as the senator could have a better shot with that state. Rubin also has sources in the democratic party that thinks Hilary Clinton could have the best shot at the democratic nomination even though it usually goes to the vice president which would be Joe Biden. Biden would be 73 years old for the next election which is seen as many as too old to take office.
“I think it is definitely to early to already start thinking about who the next president will be, but this article does do a good job at showing who the future candidates could be. I feel comfortable that Rubin knows what he is talking about when it comes to politics because the way he is introduced as a political junky.”
This has a very clear argument pertaining to who the presidential candidates will be in 2016. That being said the article could do a better job stating its sources to give the listener more confidence that the speaker knows what he is talking about.
