Her slick delivery style, with almost no “ums”, “ahs” or verbal stumbles, was a radical departure from the way Trump’s first ministry of untruth began. The hapless Sean Spicer began with the false claim that Trump had a bigger inauguration crowd than Barack Obama and went downhill from there, claiming: “Sometimes we can disagree with the facts.”

Direct answers. No 3-ring binder. No "circling back". No flashing eye lids.

Already looks like a seasoned pro at age 27!

KamaLOL!'s entrails were hanging out on the debate stage while Tulsi was re-sheathing her katana.

I’m with you. The only thing I associate with North Korea is using an artillery piece for a firing squad.

It’s like Trump’s stock “popping” in a headline, today. What language are these lunatics speaking?

All the boxes checked on this one being psy-ops propaganda hit piece. AKA, “Misinformation”, which is cleverly using human psychology along with intelligence experts trained in mass manipulation, wordsmithing.
