peaceful transfer of power. Insisted 2020 wasn't honest. Afterwards, all pundits agreed he skipped the tough questions. He stated his love of tariffs and they all said those would be bad for america. Overall Harris's proposals were better for business.

This was not the Gish Gallop. This was full-on mental incompetency on display. The interviewer and audience were laughing at him. That’s what happens when you have a more educated audience, not diaper and ear napkin wearing 8th grade dropouts. You may want to check some Xitter threads for live(ish) commentary.
