Good morning patriots
Last night was certainly ⚡ Electric ⚡. I am not sure how many seconds 2 minutes is but it seems that men get about 50 and women get 180. Women also seem to be able to rebut as much as they want. Even with this inherent disparity Pence proves once again why he is the best vice president and why Trump's love for him never wavers. Feel free to discuss this debate here. Try to keep top level comments limited to clips and debate topics.
Read the book Pre-Suasion: A Revolutionary Way to Influence and Persuade by Cialdini
Describes what these debate questions are - they pack in multiple assertions of fact and then expect the person to debate under that framed view of the world
Scum-baggery
Yep. They try to get candidates to buy into the faulty premise before answering!
This is true but it looks like Pence was prepared for it. Take the climate change question for example. Pence answered about the administration's conservation goals without conceding that the question's premises were true.
Yes I agree he was prepared for it and did great - but it took the right 30 years for the right to build up a defense against this, and the amount of ground that has been lost over this social blitzkrieg has been devastating
Nice reference. The harsh part of presuasion is that we are susceptible even if we are cognizant that we are being persuaded. Pence was just like “fuck yo question Susan”, not sure if pence is human or a cyborg sent back from the future.
I think reading Cialdinis 2 books is what red pilled me, I read them to get better at marketing and sales.. but after I read that it was just like the move "They Live" everyone who used these tricks on me became my enemy
Agreed. I thank Scott Adams for mentioning Cialdini. Manipulators that take our money are evil. Trump using this for powers of good is amazing though
