My doctor neighbor showed 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.

(156 posts)If he has nothing to hide why not just release his tax returns. Is it
A) because he pays no tax
B) because he owes 700 million to banks
C) because his net worth is a fraction of what he claims
D) all of the above

(10,952 posts)pathological liar. It becomes an issue because his great claims to his qualification to be President is that (in his warped itty bitty mind) he is a great businessman. Yeah we all know he is delusional.
This is a man who is scared to death of being humiliated. He needs to be hammered on like there is no tomorrow on how bad a businessman he really is:
1. Nearly $916 million loss
2. On one side or the other of 3500 lawsuits
3. On going history of stiffing his contractors/suppliers which means
a. He is negotiating contracts with the intent of not honoring them (paying nothing or less than the negorited amount) which
would appear to be fraudlulent if true or
b. If he claims that he doesn't pay them because they provide a bad product or service, then based upon the volume of people
he as stiffed, he doesn't know to do his homework and pick good suppliers and contractors which would then again make
him a bad businessman.
4. The number of bankrupcies that he as filed
5. The 2 Trump University class action lawsuits that are pending
6. His treatment of women in the workplace.
7. His pathological lies. I know that Hillary's campaign put together a multi page list of his lies but what about someone putting
together an even more comprehensive list and putting it out on the internet with its own webpage including links to
documents, audio and video clips?
8. His lack of credibility. He talks like he is going to renegotiate all of our trade deals but I don't see any world leader ever taking him seriously. They would just treat him like the child he is. They already know that anything Trump signs would not be worth the cost of the ink in the pen used to sign the document. Just like he has stiffed contractors/suppliers, he would stiff foreign countries as well.

(50,986 posts)will register this blow in the form of staff turbulence.
I could maybe see some fraying, some braying, some straying.
I don't think the Trump=Pence campaign is a terribly pleasant place to be these days.
