I’m going to skim the transcript from the Republican Presidential candidates’ debate a few days ago for five minutes and see what biases I find that aren’t prominent logical fallacies. I might find none, but I’m writing this now so that a later statement on what I found or didn’t find will be more meaningful.
Wish me luck, I’m going in!
ETA: What a disaster. Most problems look simply like classic fallacies, but not all. I’ll elaborate later.

I didn’t want to say anything before you looked, but this is a classic exercise for a basic logic class. Yes, logical fallacies abound.
That’s really cool. By all means write a discussion post if you find something interesting!
