How to Win Debates, from Fraud and Corruption to Trans Kids in Sports (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Our approach to debates is overwhelmingly focused on fighting our opponents. Sometimes we forget that the whole point of debates is to win over the hearts and minds of the audience. Instead of memorizing statistics, we should focus on expressing our principles. We should prepare to pivot from attacks and land our “money” lines: strong moral statements that cannot be refuted.In the midterm elections, Republicans have one chance, and that is to make the elections a referendum on who is better at f
The Big List of Rally and Overpass Signs (opens the original)
