1. win over

   Of these words convince alone has no direct reference to moving the will, denoting an effect upon the understanding only; one may be convinced of his duty without doing it, or he may be convinced of truth that has no manifest connection with duty or action, as of a mathematical proposition. To persuade is to bring the will of another to a desired decision by some influence exerted upon it short of compulsion; one may be convinced that the earth is round; he may be persuaded to travel round it; but persuasion is so largely dependent upon conviction that it is commonly held to be the orator's work first to convince in order that he may persuade. Coax is a slighter word than persuade, seeking the same end by shallower methods, largely by appeal to personal feeling, with or without success; as, a child coaxes a parent to buy him a toy. One may be brought over, induced, or prevailed upon by means not properly included in persuasion, as by bribery or intimidation; he is won over chiefly by personal influence. Compare INFLUENCE.

   Synonyms:
   allure, bring over, coax, convince, dispose, entice, impel, incite, incline, induce, influence, lead, move, persuade, prevail on, prevail upon, urge

   Antonyms:
   deter, discourage, dissuade, hinder, hold back, repel, restrain

1. Jeremy Adler:

   Desperate to win over the Warren-Sanders crew that deeply distrusts her, Secretary Clinton is willing to adopt even the most extreme left-wing views as her own. There is quite literally nothing she won’t do or say to fit in today’s modern Democratic socialist party.

2. Richard Sherman:

   Adams, who caught two touchdowns and had a franchise playoff-record 160 yards in a win over the Seattle Seahawks last Sunday in the NFC divisional round, now must face one of the top defenses in the NFL and one of the leagues best cornerbacks. Well, I mean, it doesnt change, really, Adams said on facing Richard Sherman. Hes definitely a great player, and people have said a lot about whether hes fell off or what not and I dont see that. I see that hes still the same guy, still making plays. Shermans 35 interceptions since entering the league in 2011 are the most among active players during that span. The 31-year-old is looking to make his third Super Bowl appearance after being one of the key parts to the Seahawks back-to-back Super Bowl appearances in the 2013 and 2014 seasons. Though Shermans resume is longer than Adams, the respect between the two is mutual. Hes very good at beating man coverage.
