(14,565 posts)Perfectly available. Just desperately respond to each and every charge immediately.
You'll have plenty of practice. The other side will be so delighted there will never be a break between waves.
Sadly we learned the wrong lesson in 2004. That was my argument at the time. It is hardly related to my support of Amy Klobuchar. Only a monumentally stupid campaign or politician thinks he/she has to refute or explain everything.
In particular it was hilarious when I read a different thread in which the OP wanted Klobuchar to address this prior to the formal announcement of her entry. Unbelievable.
Trump dishes out nicknames and lies because he understands how effective that is in keeping himself on offense. If he sat back and allowed others to attack his record while desperately responding to everything, there never would have been a cult following. He'd have become a laughingstock.
Nicknames and lies are Trump being himself. Amy Klobuchar will be herself during the media tour after the announcement. I know how that will play out.
