Eric Zorn
The Incredible shrinking Ben Carson
Chicago Tribune
September 7, 2015

In this article Zorn criticizes the Republican presidential primary debate, specifically focusing on Ben Carson's inability to become impassioned about topics. For example, when given the opportunity to "rip" Trump's "know-nothing  blathering" and point out that he is not only ignorant with medical matters but in general as well he didn't take any shots at Trump. Although, when reading this article I questioned why not trashing another opponent would be considered bad. Zorn claims that Carson is a wimp for not taking the opportunity to make himself look better. Zorn appeals to logos by using specific quotes from the debate and then criticizing how and why it supports his claim that Carson has no back bone.
