    Yeah, but there was no substance. It was just name calling. I don’t think simple name-calling got the Republicans anywhere either. She could’ve briefly segwayed to making a point about his policies hurting the disabled.

      God I wish that was true.

      I honestly think a good portion of Trump’s popularity is his name calling.

      Now, to be clear, I think that’s something that only works with idiots. Further, I don’t think it’s a tactic Dems can really pull off. But make no mistake, being mean to the right people is what’s popular for the bigot party.

        Nah, Sleepy Joe hit because it directly called into question his incompetence. Crooked Hillary worked similarly. His making fun of the journalist with the hand disease or whatever didn’t really hit.

          You’re right, I also questioned all of the claims about Biden’s incompetence. GOOD point.
