  • Rosdely Ciprian, 16, is an exceptional debater and now a judge of the craft. She’s been perfecting her impressive skills since the sixth grade. Her talent has taken her to Broadway, where she debated on stage in the play, “What the Constitution Means to Me,” now streaming on Amazon Prime Video. With debates at the forefront of the presidential election, Ciprian says “always have your sources” and “always let your opponent talk when it's their turn.” Inside Edition Digital’s Leigh Scheps has more. #InsideEdition

    As a professional debate bro myself, I can confirm that she is mostly correct here. I will say however that her rhetorical approach is too formulaic for my liking. I'd much rather take an unorthodox approach and just have a good understanding of the subject matter, as well as knowing my sources. You also need to be able to adjust your approach depending on what the debate is on and who your opponent is.

    What makes a great debator? Someone who knows the facts, lives in reality, and have an understanding of how the world works. And last but not least, don't be a liberal. Liberals can only debate when they have no one to challenge their arguments.. notice how she was by herself or debating with people in her own circle? Please!

      Was Lincoln a liberal or conservative? Stay in school, strideforeva; except you're probably home schooled.
