The Gish Gallop is a Slippery Pig of A Concept...

A concept that just reared it's head explains a certain rethorical method employed (probably unconsciously),  by a fatuous, famously-slimy,  unfit-creep, toxic-felon, racist-fascist, obscene and obese man running for President: The Gish Gallop:

"During a Gish gallop, a debater confronts an opponent with a rapid series of specious arguments, half-truths, misrepresentations, and outright lies in a short space of time, which makes it impossible for the opponent to refute all of them within the format of a formal debate.[2] Each point raised by the Gish galloper takes considerably more time to refute or fact-check than it did to state in the first place, which is known online as Brandolini's law. The technique wastes an opponent's time and may cast doubt on the opponent's debating ability for an audience unfamiliar with the technique, especially if no independent fact-checking is involved or if the audience has limited knowledge of the topics."

Honest Joe fumbled the night. But you know, standing on stage with that corpulent pig, is decidedly a no-win situation. Joe glitched, and looked all of his 81 years, but he is an accomplished politician, a very successful advocate for a better America. None of that disappeared. Of course, I am still voting for Joe, the alternate is not at all possible. Voting for Joe the man is really voting for a record of accomplishment, a wide range of good policies, a platform, a deep, hard-earned honesty and decency.  I will be voting for a healthy Democracy. Hell, everything rides on this upcoming election. I am with the decent, deeply Human Old Guy. No question, no doubt.

BTW - From my favorite ex-President Barack Obama: "Bad debate nights happen. Trust me, I know. But this election is still a choice between someone who has fought for ordinary folks his entire life and someone who only cares about himself. Between someone who tells the truth; who knows right from wrong and will give it to the American people straight — and someone who lies through his teeth for his own benefit. Last night didn’t change that, and it’s why so much is at stake in November."

Dare I say it? EXACTLY!!!!
