How to Attack Arguments of the Opposite Side

1. Strengthen your evidence and arguments. Try to use the arguments you know will be presented to you, and research data and facts that do not support the suppositions that your opponent will present.

E.g. If your opponent states that your current president has done vast amounts of good to the economy, then present evidence such as statistics that show the number of lost permanent jobs during his term of office.

2. Find areas that you know are sore subject points for the opposition in relation to your new persuasive speech topics, points that cause embarrassment or irritation, and raise those points before the opposition public speaker does. Be ready by using common sense and common understatement.

E.g. The most likely candidate to oppose a plan to release wolves into the wild will be a rancher or a chicken farmer. Research their arguments, know what they are, and how to counter them before they are brought up.
