Stage Three: Critique an editorial or commentary from a Texas newspaper



 In this editorial the comment is about Rick Perry’s future referring to him trying to run for office again, the editor comments how poorly Rick Perry’s performance was in 2012 and how he would not stand a chance if he tried to run again. In 2016 his competitors will be much stronger than in 2012 and that will make Perry look like he did not take advantage of his past opportunity to actually win. The past candidates were referred to as jokes and if thats the case Rick Perry does not stand in a good position. I agree with this statement, although i doubt that Perry would have actually won in 2012. Now in 2016 if he decided to run again he most definitely not win. The author also mentions that even though these new candidates may seem stronger they will also have their weaknesses. That is a logical argument although Perry is also included in this there is no way that he can make up for his mistakes in the past. In my opinion I think it be best for Perry to just stick around as being governor since it seems that he has that position really well tide down. The authors intended audience is the people that are actually interested in the election for 2016, which is a good amount of people since most are interested in the national elections. The author may actually be correct about his thoughts on Perry but not everyone may think the same way. There can be some individuals that may think that the candidates from 2012 were actually strong. While others may think now that these coming up candidates are not strong at all. It all has to do with personal point of view and the individual opinions of the people, but I think many would not take Perry seriously.
