The Trump Trot

People who are familiar with the way Conservatives discuss things will no doubt be aware of something called the "Gish Gallop."  This common right wing argumentative strategy, for those who have not heard of it, is described at Wikipedia:

"The Gish gallop is a technique used during debating that focuses on overwhelming an opponent with as many arguments as possible, without regard for accuracy or strength of the arguments. The term was coined by Eugenie Scott and named after the creationist Duane Gish, who used the technique frequently against proponents of evolution.  

During a Gish gallop, a debater confronts an opponent with a rapid series of many specious arguments, half-truths, and misrepresentations in a short space of time, which makes it impossible for the opponent to refute all of them within the format of a formal debate."

Ever an innovator in Presidential behavior, Donald Trump has developed his own strategy, which I am dubbing the "Trump trot," which consists in committing so many crimes, so rapidly, that no one has the chance to follow any one of them to fully reveal his criminality, before being forced to move on to the next one.  Thus, he wriggles out of any consequences for his behavior, while decent people are forced to deal with an endless sequence of unprecedented criminal acts, and public consciousness never has a chance to really understand the depth of his criminal behavior before it is forgotten in the wake of further abominations.

So far, it has worked for him, sad to say.  Maybe this time, if Democrats do their duty it won't.  At this point, we can at least hope.
