That is close. It is drawing a conclusion based on a false assertion. The strawman is the false assertion so the argument is a strawman. I just gave an opinion that based on Kennedys campaign at that time that he is more closely aligned with republicans today than democrats. If someone disagrees I am ok with that but it is my opinion.I asked this earlier: what constitutes a strawman argument? I understood it to be a false opinion asserted to create an argument that uses logic that the strawman is seeking to attack.
