Biden Should Wipe the Floor With Her
Advertisements [?]
Fuck all this "hold back" bullshit. He should come out guns blazing and fucking insulted that this know-nothing even occupies the same stage. He should call her on bullshit half-answers every single time. They're trying to take away his major strength over her: that he actually KNOWS shit. He should not let them. He should amplify the WONKINESS, not tone it down. He should emphasize every time she doesn't answer the question. He should bury her in concrete policy and statistics. He should call her on her lack of substance. The audience is primed for it. Nobody but the most obtuse Palinites will be insulted. People are almost hungry now for her to get called on the carpet for her nonsenses. Biden should be that guy.

Some responses:

"Was that an answer?"

"I guess it's a little harder to answer the question when you need to provide actual specifics, but here goes..."

"Hmmm. I like little zingers, too, but I'll leave those to the comedians if the comedians will leave policy making to the people who know stuff about, like, policy."

"I guess for some people it's bad to be knowledgeable! I hope your heart surgeon has more than funny little stories."

"Just to be clear on the question, Gwen, you wanted us to name a specific foreign policy initiative we agree with, right? And one we would change?"

"This is going to get a little complicated, mainly because it's a complicated issue. It took me a long time to get my head wrapped around it myself, actually. But here's how I understand it."

"I read three policy white papers last week. Listen to the title of this one: (READS OBSCURE TITLE). Sometimes even I wonder what stuff like that means, and I've been reading stuff like this for thirty plus years! Here's what it says when you actually get into it..."

"I don't think we can joke our way out of our problems, so I want to address this seriously."
