1. It's like proving that the sky is blue.
But try to explain that to a blind retard.

3. Always remain calm. Then set the criteria and hit it one at a time.
Establish the criteria - especially let your opponent set it - to establish whether one is a moron or not.

School performance
Professional accomplishment
Track record

He fails in all three.

And then point out: Bush had EVERY POSSIBLE ADVANTAGE a human could POSSIBLY have and still was a mediocre student and a failure in business.

11. You can easily google Bush's Yale performance and failed businesses
Do your research is a very fine piece of debate advice. :-)

But remember, "moron" is a vague word and there is not an objective set of criteria to determine who is or isn't a moron. At least not as the word is conventionally used.

That's why it's so important to define the terms at the outset.

5. all you need is
facts. Sources etc. Use them against your opoponent. If we're talkin about debating republicans, it's easier than you think. The truth hurts them, the truth is their dishonest, their policies hurt our country, and their party is controlled by big money and radicals.

7. Pick a specific issue
Back your position up with knowledge, facts and logic, rather than trying to debate a characterization or conclusion about the evil moron.
