The rhetoric and political communication of the 2016 Presidential
Election was arguably unconventional, partisan, and
polarizing-becoming a defining characteristic of the tone and feel
of the campaign. In this volume we examine how rhetoric and various
political communication strategies influenced and shaped the
contours of the election and ultimately its outcome. Witnessing the
most diverse electorate in U.S. political history, we look at how
voters were primed for an anti-establishment/outsider candidate and
how various rhetorical and communication appeals were used to
strategically engage different groups of voters and at times, leave
out or even scapegoat others. We also analyze how rhetoric and
political communication shaped the debate on key issues such as
climate change, immigration, national security, gender, and
representation. In an age where having a social media presence is
an essential campaign tool, we examine how Twitter was used by
candidates and its impact on the electorate and news coverage.
Overall, we demonstrate that political rhetoric and communication
is impactful, bearing electoral consequences and the potential for
policy outcomes, giving the reader much to consider as we approach
the next midterm and general election.

While female religious have grown to possess a sense of personal
authority in issues impacting the laity, and have come to engage in
social-issue-oriented activities, religious institutions have
traditionally viewed men as the decision-makers. One Faith, Two
Authorities examines the tensions of policy and authority within
the gendered nature of the Catholic Church. Jeanine Kraybilllooks
at the influence of Catholic elites-specifically within the U.S.
Conference of Catholic Bishops and the Leadership Conference of
Women Religious-and their opinions on public policy and relevant
gender dynamics with regard to healthcare, homosexuality,
immigration, and other issues. She considers the female religious'
inclusive positions as well as their opposition to ACA for bills
that would be rooted in institutional positions on procreation,
contraception, or abortion. Kraybill also systematically examines
the claims of the 2012 Doctrinal Assessment against the Leadership
Conference of Women Religious. One Faith, Two Authorities
considerswhether the sisters and the male clergy are in fact in
disagreement about social justice and healthcare issues and/or if
women religious have influence.
