(This market is in large part for my own enjoyment, but please do bet if you want)

I likely won't watch every debate in full (but who knows, maybe I will over the next week), so if I don't watch it will N/A

I will take seriously that I judge exclusively on 'who made better arguments / had better rhetoric', not my pre-existing opinions (but because I enjoy doing that)

Crushes has to be an unusually good performance, enough that it impresses me, but I'm mostly thinking about argument quality - so more 'one side reads The Literature and has a thorough and well-sourced argument that carefully and calmly rebuts each opponent point', as opposed to 'he screamed really loudly and owned the libs'.

Win is just if I think someone visibly did better than their opponent, made better arguments, etc.

Nobody winning is an option! Now that I think about it maybe 4 linked MCs would've been better.

Now that I'm betting, I think it mostly comes down to how good each participant is at political debate. Destiny could probably win a socialism vs capitalism debate on the side of socialism against some of these guys
