I disagreed vehemently enough with many of Charlie Kirk's propositions that I certainly would never have invited him to the barbecue.Probably more than you. It was not worthy of the death penalty because he had the moral high ground. Debate is all about presenting facts to support your ideas, Charlie did that very well . Your opinion that many times he came in a distant second or was sticking it to them is a flawed biased opinion that shows if you really did watch some of his videos you really didn’t look at them objectively. That is my opinion!. I really would like to see at least one video where in your opinion Charlie came in a distant second, if there is one.
Truth usually wins debates!I disagreed vehemently enough with many of Charlie Kirk's propositions that I certainly would never have invited him to the barbecue.
But debating him certainly required a person to come fully prepared, and every one who proposed to debate him should certainly have fully prepared first. People hated him because he so consistently stripped their propositions naked in public.
I disagree. Debating is a talent but it doesn’t require truth, just the ability to to throw your opponent off.Truth usually wins debates!
I stand by my statement. I did say usually and in Kirk’s case he was the more knowledgeable debater against college kids who believed themselves to be morally superior in many cases.I disagree. Debating is a talent but it doesn’t require truth, just the ability to to throw your opponent off.
It's about winning over the audience. And truth usually wins over the audience better than malarkey.I disagree. Debating is a talent but it doesn’t require truth, just the ability to to throw your opponent off.
Winning over the audience, yes. His audience is also, for the most part, is already in his corner, so they watch the show involving a debater who already champions their beliefs. Most of his arguments involve opinion, so truth is subjective.It's about winning over the audience. And truth usually wins over the audience better than malarkey.
If Trump had listened to that advice, he’d still be a former casino magnate up to his eyeballs in debt with two elder sons enjoying the level of national prominence they deserve.It's about winning over the audience. And truth usually wins over the audience better than malarkey.
I wish that were true. These days truth is hard to find and people really don’t care. What they want is validation of their own selfish beliefs.It's about winning over the audience. And truth usually wins over the audience better than malarkey.
It was his MO. I'm beginning to think you've never watched any of his debates...
I think that depends on the scenario. A lot of college kids are fed a lot of malarky and are won over by it.It's about winning over the audience. And truth usually wins over the audience better than malarkey.
What does that have to do with debating? Or did you just take what I said and go off on a tangent with it?If Trump had listened to that advice, he’d still be a former casino magnate up to his eyeballs in debt with two elder sons enjoying the level of national prominence they deserve.
Good point.I think that depends on the scenario. A lot of college kids are fed a lot of malarky and are won over by it.
The connection was clear to me. Maybe read it again?What does that have to do with debating? Or did you just take what I said and go off on a tangent with it?
Had nothing to do with winning over a debate audience.The connection was clear to me. Maybe read it again?
Simple, Trump is not known for truth, yet has been very successful in winning over an audience. He would not be where he is today if he had held truth above malarkey.Had nothing to do with winning over a debate audience.
Never happened.Wasn't that about the same time Kamala Harris was bailing out BLM thugs and vandals?
He wasn't capable of that level of subtlety, nor was his audience capable of inferring such.Maybe Kirk was making a sarcastic remark to point out how the left was encouraging violence?
Calling your bluff. Citation please and I would like direct quotes.
I was specifically talking about an audience listening to a debate. Anything outside of that is taking what I said off on a non-sequitur tangent.Simple, Trump is not known for truth, yet has been very successful in winning over an audience. He would not be where he is today if he had held truth above malarkey.
