So well said.

If you have looked at other comments in this thread, one fellow introduced the term "gish galloping", which is a style of argument that peppers the debate floor with so many facts that it is hard to refute or rebut them. This fellow, I believe, just cut-and-pasted his 25 points to use whenever he lost an internet debate. I kind of figured that would be case, but I learned this is a recognized practice with a term to define it.

Political scientists often cite an important skill for politicians to have is to reduce complex things such that common people can have a feel for them. And that is a big part of the problem we are having today.

Gish galloping is also a tool of the political left. Mr. Trump just took it to a higher level.
