And a good campaigner never lets a false accusation stand. Fred has not only let them stand, he’s helped prop them up.

The problem with democracy is you have to get ELECTED before you get to be the leader. Fred doesn’t seem to think he has to make a compelling case to get elected, but sadly, he’s wrong.

" And a good campaigner never lets a false accusation stand. Fred has not only let them stand, he’s helped prop them up."

Some of those accusations are smears, wherefore, Fred turned it around and pocked fun at the MSM and his critics.. and the sensible people instinctively know what he was doing.
When Fred turns it around and pocks fun at them ( MSM, his critics ) it deflates their thunder and at the same time makes them look shilly and triteful.
