I have to do a rhetorical analysis of a political speech from this year's elections. It doesn't have to be from the national election. Any recommendations?

Bernie Sanders was re-elected in November, so perhaps you could analyze his speeches. Sanders is a reformist, but his perspective is definitely more leftist than Obama.

Chavez?

My portuguese is better, but I could give it a try. Do you know where I could find any from 2012? I've tried searching, but haven't had any luck.

Nevermind. My professor just emailed me and said it HAS to be a US politician :thumbdown:

Perhaps Bernie Sanders then?

Perhaps Bernie Sanders then?

I believe so. It's between him and Jill Stein, but I'm leaning towards him. I'm trying to find a good paragraph from one of his speeches from this year now.

Good luck. Perhaps you can find something online. If all else fails, perhaps his Senate staff can help.

Is Bernie Sanders a socialist?

AFAIK he still considers himself a socialist.
