One learns legitimate argumentation
in any introductory debate class
and stays away from defamation —
address the issue, cite the facts
never argue ad hominem,
and never, ever go on the attack.
We’ve never seen the occupant’s
transcripts, so we don’t know
and we might look askance
on if he ever took a debate class,
but if the stable genius did
he forgot everything very fast.
One just has to follow his tweets
to see how such an effort
ended in a miserable defeat.
