    The basic principle is that every false statement from trump is a point. You can’t rebut them all because it takes longer to refute a lie than it does to make it.

    Your strategy is logical and if a winner was chosen on the basis of logical, well supported answers to questions then it would be a successful strategy - but sadly the winner is chosen just based on the vibe.

      Also, the bothsiderist “liberal” media would likely say that if someone were to actually counter all the Gish Gallop and then somehow make their own points, that they were too “overprepared” - coming across as knowing things is perceived as “bad” to a lot of idiots and improper moderation and awful framing from our corporate media makes it worse.
