Q:
Who is right, Socrates or Thrasymaschus? Why?

A:
I think Socrates is right and Thrasymaschus is wrong. Thrasymaschus is wrong because he never takes into account simple things like mistakes people make. He also never specifically defines anything like who the 'strong' are. Socrates on the other hand specifically details what certain definitions are like who the strong are and he explains why the strong can change. Something else he mentions is that people can make mistakes and that the strong are so not always do what is right for other people.
