He decimated all of her traps on Ebola so she went to other topics in a frantic attempt to trip him up.
1. She tried to blame republicans for not confirming an appointee for Surgeon General who she said would have been of service in organizing an effort to contain Ebola.
Ted said the nominee was so radical even the democrats would not confirm him and they have control of the Senate. That’s a slam dunk.
2. She tried to trap him into saying he would put US troops on the ground against ISIS.
Ted turned it upside down saying the Kurds were “our boots on the ground” but they were not getting the air support they needed because the airstrikes to date have been grossly insufficient. That was a slam dunk slap on her tactics followed by stating the facts and turning it back on Obama.
3. She finally opened up that Obama would appoint his new AG during the lame-duck session.
Ted slam dunked it saying that no political appointee should ever be confirmed during a lame-dunk session when many Senators are going to be packing and clearing out.
Thanks for the re-cap - and I mean that, not being sarcastic.
He is so smooth that I didn’t even see the potential pitfalls. Seems to me his law professor at Harvard said Ted was one of his most brilliant students ever.
Your recap put illustrated this quite well.
