Step one in winning an argument is to always get the first word. No matter who's talking or how engaging their point may be, butt right into the conversation and say the first thing that comes into your mind. This step is crucial. Often time people won't even be looking for or desiring an argument so it is imperative that you start an argument despite their resistance. If they tell you "hey man I'm not looking to argue or anything" you've got them right where you want them.
Next you have to attack. If they don't want to play ball, fine, call them out for being scared. If they aren't willing to openly debate a stranger (everyone is a stranger to you, don't let anyone get too close) then they obviously don't have an argument that can beat yours.
You'll also need to make them feel isolated and different from you as possible. Use words like "your kind" to prove your superiority. Interject phrases "oh brother" and "I know where this is going" (don't worry, you don't) and "you've GOT to be kidding me" whenever they're speaking so you retain control in the argument.
Finally, and this is important, don't concede anything. An often used trick I've seen against me is when people try to switch topics to something besides the point you were argument. Phrases like "beautiful weather we're having huh?" or "aren't you enjoying this food?" are attempts to break down your rock hard arguments and make you weak.
They are weak and you are strong. Crush them like the ants they are. People will be so scared to lose an argument with you that they'll avoid eye contact and walk away from you as quick as possible.
Good luck, you won't need it.
