Was in a conversation with my dad today and I mentioned the illegitimacy of Haley Vivek and obama as President because their parents weren’t US citizens at the time of their birth. I thought I was right but need help frens. My dad had my blood boiling today. He said Trump is a liar and a rapist. I did remain calm but man was I hot. Still am. Love my folks but they are so brainwashed.

Hey, there's and idea!
The bet, the challenge, the score, winning, losing, things smart competitive people cannot resist. And then there's the "A lawyer by trade" thing.
So why not seek to present your argument to a jury of peer (the decision of jury would not be as important as the spotlight on the information presented.
Rules for argument would loosely follow basic court decorum, and rules:
A Judge - Hold court to rules for argument as determine by Pros/Def
A Jury - As chosen by Pros/Def
Prosecutor - Arguing for Trump
Defendant - Arguing against Trump
In my view, two things would result:
If your opponent refused to present his case within a fair, unbiased framework, then that is admittance of weak position.
Opportunity to present you side, where other wise you cannot.
Or one could just choice to hold a Oxford style debate on the subject. Pole how people feel before debate, and how far the needle moves.
