That's a very good ad. I think I understand how Trump was able to look better than Biden at the debate. Trump's strategy was to throw so many whoppers at Biden, so fast, he wasn't able to respond, before another was served up. I've seen other GOP members that use that strategy, apparently it has become a GOP go to strategy, when cornered. Their goal is to confuse their opponent. If they throw enough lies, that take a lot of explaining to unpack, they can overwhelm anyone trying to explain what the truthful position is. It works well for capturing low information spectators.

It was a disgusting debate strategy, used by a deeply morally & disgustingly corrupt conman, that fools the gullible and the insatiably greedy. But not critical thinking people, with compassion, and those that actually care about our country and know the actual backgrounds of these men; and not what right wing media pundants and Donald Trump want us to believe.

They use that tactic on substack as well, Richard. On Robert Reich, they hurl more charges than one can coherentlhy respond to. Thom's as well, the Putin troll that does by Barry and claims to be D.O. especially his comments are a smorgasboard of attacks.

Yes, several writers have explained this rhetorical device the Republicans are using against us. We were naive to think Trump would debate fairly. The American people deserve to watch a fair debate focusing on policy, but the Republicans will never win an honest debate on policy as their policies are contrary to what most Americans prefer and on most issues.
