(9,664 posts)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.

(2,398 posts)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.

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

(391 posts).... 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.
