So Trump has been compelled to move from counter-puncher to puncher, from defense to offense. He really has no choice. The stakes are too high. Inarticulate and as much of a blunt object as he is, his principles are right, his cause just, and the fight real.
I have to admit that If I had been vilified, excoriated, politically assaulted and lied about continuously for four years I too would have thrown the BS flag at the first sign of repeated falsehoods, distortions, accusations and deflections. One of the Left’s most cherished tactics is to saturate the air with so much crap that there’s not enough time to respond to it all. They just throw stuff against the wall with such force and variety that it overwhelms any possible response, particularly if it is delivered in one unending stream for a full two minutes. Even using shorthand, the list of defensive replies is too long to state in the subsequent two minutes. So Trump could not have waited a full two minutes for the onslaught to end before unpacking and responding to all the lies and distortions coming from Biden’s mouth. And it would be impossible for any rational comeback to be formulated and delivered in the subsequent two minutes. So Trump did Trump. He threw the bs flag as each lie and distortion left Biden’s mouth, not waiting for the verbal diarrhea to stop.
Last night was an embarrassment for our nation. I wish the civility and diction exhibited in the Reagan-Mondale, or better, the Lincoln-Douglas debates could have had been present. The Chinese, Russians, Venezuelans, Iranians, Palestinians all loved what they saw and no doubt their media will be filled today with “see, we told you so’s” as THEY vilify our constitutional republic form of government. I don’t care. The fact that these two men could stand there and speak they way they did is in and of itself worth defending.
But it’s not Trump who brought our politics into the gutter, but the left who have “resisted” and tried to “fundamentally transform” our nation, barring NOTHING to gain power. Trump has always been a counter-puncher. At this moment, he MUST go on the offensive if he is to save this country from the leftist onslaught. Is it all disgusting? Yes, but the Democrats are the ones who made it so and now that it is a street fight for the soul of our country, thank God there’s a street thug like Trump who will stand up for it.
