Republican Debate

Tactics

Do not explain, if the facts are on your side assert and cite (disproved by Snopes and Politifact).

Challenge their assumption but argue as though they already agree with yours.

Don't fight on minutia, always force the larger issue; the GOP has stood on the grounds of racism and exploitation of the poor since Goldwater. The modern GOP is a hate group.

Attack dropped points. If the argument shifts, push it back and force a concession on the point.

If there is an audience, address them directly. Acknowledge the show and shut it down.

Attack Authority and In-Group, this is the heart of the issue.
