If you listen with a brain you hear him flailing around making an ass if himself.

If you listen to just the words you hear that obama withheld aid for an romney investigation. That the Bidens are corrupt. That trump was just fighting corruption.

100% lying bullshit.

The guy got all his talking points in.

Keep throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks. In other words, keep saying completely baseless, bogus BS and hope that the American people are stupid enough to buy into it.

I agree. This is how l think it may be.

This kind of interview gets the words out there. A slogan doesn’t want to be long anyway. Somebody more coherent can say them better, but any repetition is better.

They can always get a news kick with a subpoena. Barr runs the DOJ

We are still beating them. First on the facts. People are tripping over themselves to talk about Ukraine. Even trump can’t shut up about it.

Also in the news beat. The good thing about that video is it started with a question and made him do wadda wadda bout

The response in the video was really weak. Also the talk about Obama/Biden in regards to Hunter Biden's supposed "corrupt" activity was left almost unchallenged, at least for way too long and in the end it viewers may get the impression that only the last part of his attacks was challenged but not that drivel about Biden's corrupt activity.

And then she handed him one with Obama/Romney. Her "challenging" him was a weak "that's not true" which doesn't counter anything he said.

So, I must have missed the part where he crashed and burned.

because they worship under authoritarian leadership structures that exists in the GOP, the right-wing press and in their churches. No one is allowed to question that which comes from above within the right-wing bubble.

It's unbelievable how they never question the credentials, qualifications or honesty of those in power. Being in the position of power IS their qualification and proof of authority, regardless of how they got there. Just go read the bio of Rush Limbaugh, Mike Pompeo, or our governor Matt Bevin for in-your-face proof.

It comes from a well-documented personality trait that probably can't be shaken unless the structures totally collapse.

he was off base, he was never at a loss for words, and he just kept right on talking. Republicans are professional con men, fraudsters, and propagandists.

Jeff Sessions crashed and burned when Franken asked him if anyone affiliated with the Trump campaign communicated with the Russian government in the course of this campaign. I think hyped up headlines like this weaken our case.
