1. what are the benefits of good rhetoric to a politician? the limits?
In terms of pathos, logo, and ethos, a politician could use these to pull ppl to agree with them. Good rhetoric gets peple to listen to a politicins speech and agree with them. Politicians who know how to use good rhetoric can get voted into office simply on this. Rhetoric apppealing to the values and needs of the ciitizens can be used by politicians to basically get voted into office.
Used to get elected and stay elected
appeal to the people
But, good rhetoric can be used for bad things. Like, manipulating people to believe in something thats false or believe false things about something. Limits to what people will be persuaded to do.
