But instead of attacking people who express this kind of opinion, why not try to convince them why they are wrong?

Can you name one prominent media personality (over eternity) who was transformed by someone using your strategy?

Pundits are rarely going to admit publicly that they are wrong, whatever they may acknowledge in private. But more importantly, it is not even about convincing that media personality. It is about convincing/persuading everyone else who may be attracted to that argument.

We don't have candidate debates so that one candidate can convince the other to switch sides. It is to convince the audience.

Look at the reasons they are advancing against Trump, and to the extent they are unfair or based on flawed reasoning, point that out. You probably won't convince that guy (at least, not publicly), but you may convince others.

The first facade is that someone who is paid for the job of “opinion” can have their views changed through thoughtful discussion. On the other hand, most can be bought for a higher price to expouse their new opinion of the payee.

Can you name one (media personality or private individual) who was transformed by being maligned, mocked, bullied?

They might walk away from the battle, but that’s not the best option for America either, is it?

Over eternity?

How about The Apostle Peter? He was transformed with words and love.
