1. argue

   To plead for one is to employ argument or persuasion, or both in his behalf, usually with earnestness or importunity; similarly one may be said to plead for himself or for a cause, etc., or with direct object, to plead a case; in legal usage, pleading is argumentative, but in popular usage, pleading always implies some appeal to the feelings. One argues a case solely on rational grounds and supposably with fair consideration of both sides; he advocates one side for the purpose of carrying it, and under the influence of motives that may range all the way from cold self-interest to the highest and noblest impulses; he pleads a cause, or pleads for a person with still more intense feeling. Beseech, entreat, and implore imply impassioned earnestness, with direct and tender appeal to personal considerations. Press and urge imply more determined or perhaps authoritative insistence. Solicit is a weak word denoting merely an attempt to secure one's consent or cooperation, sometimes by sordid or corrupt motives.

   Synonyms:advocate, ask, beg, beseech, entreat, implore, plead, press, solicit, urge

   Preposition:Plead with the tyrant for the captive; plead against the oppression or the oppressor; plead to the indictment; at the bar; before the court; in open court.

How to use argue in a sentence?

2. Clarence Cox:

   I'm so sick of hearing Steve Mnuchin, and that Nancy Pelosi argue back and forth about the amount of money, you know, with Nancy Pelosi, it's all or nothing. With Steve Mnuchin, it's like, well, this is what the President said. And meanwhile, back at the ranch, all of us are sitting here trying to figure out how we're going to eat next week.

3. Nabil Boumonsef:

   The ones with a positive view of this settlement argue that a Franjieh presidency will reassure March 8 and Hezbollah, while the presence of Hariri in the palace as prime minister will reassure the other camp. This is what is being marketed behind the scenes, there has already been great damage, particularly in the March 14 camp - more than in March 8 - because Franjieh is the clearest ally of the Syrian regime and the Assad family in Lebanon.

4. Steven Russell:

   I would argue that a system that has a rare rate of failures and overall gets better glycemic control would be an improvement over the current situation, which also has failures of a different type, even if the system isn't 100 % perfect, which nothing is, it's probably still going to be better than the current way of doing things.
