Puskar on ThinkProgress.org, and "The Rhetorical Brilliance of Trump the Demagogue," by Jennifer Mercieca on a website named Conversation.com. Mercieca is a communication scholar at Texas A&M, but the website is not a journal. Another positive take on Trump's rhetorical skills is, "What Hillary Clinton Can Learn from Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump," by Marshall Ganz and Hahrie (sp?} Han in The Nation. I already mentioned Fershtman's article. There are, of course, others.</span></div><div id="yiv5835688345yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1477586519052_3091" dir="ltr"><span><br></span></div><div id="yiv5835688345yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1477586519052_3091" dir="ltr"><span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1477587049894_4155">By the way, do we know yet where the next Burke Conference will be held?
