That is what got Gore into trouble in 2000. I know it is hard when you are debating an idiot, but she has to remain professional, but be assertive if she is cut off by either Trump or the moderator.

His debating opponents said that Gish used a rapid-fire approach during a debate, presenting arguments and changing topics quickly. Eugenie Scott, executive director of the National Center for Science Education, dubbed this approach the Gish Gallop, describing it as "where the creationist is allowed to run on for 45 minutes or an hour, spewing forth torrents of error that the evolutionist hasn't a prayer of refuting in the format of a debate."[11] She also criticized Gish for failing to answer objections raised by his opponents.

She needs to rebut his lies. No pithy silliness, no unneeded snark, just a serious and frank explanation of why it's a lie.

This isn't reality TV. It's real life global politics.

Viewers will be confused and annoyed when they find out she was doing this nonsense. She would never do this anyway. Get real.

deaf sign for "false," so she would end up just looking weird to most people.
