There’s a debate strategy often used by pseudoscience peddlers known as the Gish Gallop. The debater throws out a barrage of false claims, one after another, far too many for the opponent to ever actually refute them all. The opponent stalls as he tries to figure out what to respond to first.

As a high school debater, you could always tell who was going to try this because they would ask the judge(s), "Are you a lay judge or a flow judge?"

🤔😩 Surely there must be actual debate strategies known by debate experts to expose a lying, bullying sociopathic opponent IS a lying, bullying sociopath. If so, why were they not used to prep Biden? Or has Trump's unique form of manic sociopathic hyperbole broken the fundamental debate format?

He starts to explain. And he often looks like he’s rambling as he tries to rebut all the claims, getting in weeds to lay out facts. This strategy was on display tonight during the Presidential debate.
