You had one person trying to listen, keep track and respond earnestly to each point of a serial liar, and struggling to do it.

The serial liar would make one statement making light of the last thing that was said and then confidently go off on whatever they wanted.

We've seen before that Americans want a confident but evil self-serving idiot over a tepid but smart, compassionate leader.

Next morning Edit: My one hope is that the news of Grants Pass, EPA SCOTUS decisions show the real consequences of electing Trump.

Biden used to be really good against that tactic, it's why he won the debate in 2012 against Paul Ryan. Ryan gish galloped and Biden responded with a simple 'POPPYCOCK!'. It worked.
