Good morning. As I listened to Sen. Ted Cruz talk to Tucker Carlson about the case for regime change in Iran, I had a flashback to my days on the college debating circuit. Through several years of judging and competing, I had a chance to see future leaders like Boris Johnson, Justin Trudeau, Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee, and Cruz. I say that not to brag—though I did once win Canada’s national debating championship by defending the right of the CFL to exist—but to share some lessons that I’ve learned from top debaters.
