A simple, winning debate strategy:


"Donald: who do you owe the money to?"

(attacks, misdirection, smears, etc)

"Donald: who do you owe the money to?"

(more attacks, more misdirection, etc, etc, etc)

"Donald: WHO DO YOU OWE THE MONEY TO?"


[repeat as necessary]

Either he admits it's the Russians, or his refusal to answer is the ONLY story.

No side-roads, no rabbit-holes, just exactly ONE burning national security question.

Let's go.

"He tells 22,000 lies because he owes $421 million to Russia."

"Donald, you're the cognitive. How much is that per lie?"
