3/3 It shows him defeating his enemy, mocking them, pouring his contempt on them while his fans applaud and cheer. Without that foil there's no drama. When it's over he has proven his mastery over the people he and his fans loathe. That doesn't mean anyone outside of his base is at all persuaded. But for that base, it creates a visceral thrill no other Republican can touch.

@GottaLaff@mastodon.social I don’t understand why airing him if it isn’t to let him finish a sentence. Even if he’s lying the journalist should have let him finish before correcting it with the facts or it isn’t a debate. Both were talking alone. Journalists are supposed to be neutral but he has been mocking CNN during his presidency so they made this for the views and after had to rephrase to explain the audience what to think. Also people want to know the present and future not the past.

@GottaLaff@mastodon.social I hope this proved that a debate with him, and people like him, is totally unproductive. Remember the last one? No upside. We know this. Also, what is the best response when someone tells you that you are a nasty woman?

@GottaLaff@mastodon.social they love to rub our noses in it. That’s why calling out their hypocrisy does nothing. They revel in being hypocritical.
