while knowing full well you're about to get schooled. Frightening. It brings back ancient memories of standing at the blackboard, chalk in hand, and trying to explain something you should've studied for but didn't.

She has a great future.

Nobody.. not the press.. not the Repubs ....not the bankers...would take her on without knowing the danger they were in. She'd have them doing the Ralph Kramden "...homina homina..." and pissing themselves.

Saying that out loud actually jeopardizes the idea, as upon hearing it *president Pouty Piss Baby is likely to fold his arms up and gibber about how no woman tells HIM what to do. It'll only happen if they can convince him he can take full credit for it.

She would not let him off the hook. This is how you do it: demand clear answers, demand them again and again and do not give up until you get them.

Shows them everything the Trump admin needed to get free testing underway is already available to them.

Trump admin is probably dragging their ass because when folks show up to get the test, they'll find out the Trump admin did nothing to get the tests available to the medical community.

Now all the local TV stations will be hearing from citizens who can't get tested ... as Trump curls up into the fetal position

.... this is an example of powerful and effective cross-examination of a witness.

Bookmark, save, or write it out in longhand, but preserve this example.

This is to cross-examination what Napoleon was to warfare.
