In this article "what will Sen. Ted Cruz do now?", the author David Jennings is asking what Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas would do now after announcing his support for presidential candidate Donald Trump. According to the author, the purpose of this work is to clearly show that Sen. Cruz is confused in his stand. This article is based on apolitical point of view.
Jennings starts his article with a rhetorical question, ‘Where did Ted Cruz’ political instincts go? And how did it happen so fast?’ (David, 2016). These questions are directed to Cruz and by this questions, it’s clearly evident that Cruz has lost his political integrity as the author points out.
The author uses very convincing words and compels the reader that Cruz was confused and made a wrong decision of endorsing Trump. ‘On September 23rd, he made his choice, posting a 756 word endorsement of Trump on Facebook.
He states that three days after Cruz made his decision, Trump begun losing support after posting a video about sexually assaulting women and Cruz started rumoring about rescinding his endorsement on Trump.
Jennings asks another question, ‘Now what?’ he tries to show us that Cruz is completely confused on what to do.The author continues and claims to advice Cruz but I consider this a mockery and not advise, ‘Shut up. Just shut up for once. Focus on doing the actual job of being a Texas Senator’ (David, 2016). The author presents his work in a sarcastic manner.
In general, I enjoyed this piece of work and the way the author lays out his thinking in form of more or rather rhetoric questions.
