The means by which you articulate your argument. Rhetoric can be applied to anything that you wanna argue about.
Unfortunately, this means that rhetoric can be applied to an argument that: A) you do not agree with, B) is fighting for the wrong cause, or C) is just plain wrong. If such is the case, then you might in fact loathe the argument even more. I know I would.
Rhetoric is to a factual argument as icing is to cake.

Rhetoric raid is when a disgruntled, former partner sends repetitive texts. The purpose of the rhetoric- raid is to prevent the recipient from moving on, being present with what she/he is doing in the moment, make his/her presence known to the new love interest and otherwise throw the receiver off balance. A rhetoric- raid is a nonsensical series of texts sent by a former lover.
Danni switched her phone to silent after noticing but not reading the rhetoric-raid, coming in from her X boyfriend.
