Exactly what is wrong or corrupt about whatever policies he pushes. She can go into detail as needed but knows she needs to keep up the energy. Gobsmacked? I think she might raise her eye brows or roll her eyes once or twice but nope.

Listen with a look of respect. I like it when she rolls her eyes.

but the bar has been set so low for Trump that if he doesn't have a major gaffe he could pick up a lot of the suburban soccer mom Republicans who have been sitting on their hands to go with the blue collar supporters who have kept him almost even in the polls.

Remember he is a natural on stage, she isn't, and he's had months to learn things like basic foreign policy.

Gore or some other Dem candidate get really battered by the media for expressions such as eye rolling...maybe not a good idea?

with his "feistiness" while excoriating Gore for his perfectly natural, appropriate response to utter BS.

6. Trump is a Bullshit Artist. How do you confront a pathological liar, if no one calls them out on it?

How you short-circuit someone like Trump... Get him on something and hit him 3 times with it.


My doctor neighbor show me a really cool trick...


Their minds can only be asked or confronted with something 3 times before the blow a fuse.


1) If you catch them on something, directly confront them.

2) When they try to change the topic... redirect back to the same question/topic.

3) They will try to redirect again, hold their toes to the fire and don't let it happen.



After this third time, they will completely lose their shit.

It's so fun to watch. It's the only way to get back at these types.



The problem is, the MSM and most people, are easily distracted and follow the change of topic. Most people will allow the topic to change, which gives the person an escape from answering the first question. Matt Lauer showed that he is a weak interviewer.


That must not happen! It's very hard to stay focused, but when you do, their heads will start smoking.

"We wil fix that, and it will be great."

Hillary on the other hand will give a well thought out policy solution.

Hillary will win. She can't be gobsmacked.

I do not anticipate he will rise to the challenge of being a legitimate moderator.
