A Rhetoric Of Divisive Partisanship: The 2016 American Presidential Campaign Discourse Of Bernie Sanders And Donald Trump (Lexington Studies In Political Communication) - 9781498564571

This book deconstructs the 2016 campaign appeals of Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump to disenfranchised and polarized publics at opposite ends of the political spectrum through a rhetoric of divisive partisanship grounded in antipolitics. These ultimately contributed to the defeat of Hillary Clinton and a decline in American democratic discourse.
