Years ago, Allan Keyes told the audience at a function I was attending this: “You’ll never win a argument you don’t make.”
Never forgotten that...
Set the pins, frame the argument / phrase the question in such a manner that you will get the desired response, win the argument.

Excellent.
I ran for school committee in a liberal Marxichusetts town, just to get even for the education committed against me. I ran on a school choice platform because I see it as the only practical way to reform tax-funded schooling.
I must have asked the question, “why do my opponents oppose parents choosing their own schools?”
Of course, it’s an impossible question to answer, and none ever did. It sure beat talking about the Spanish immersion program.
