and they claimed that Hillary's crimes were way worse than Trump's crimes (whataboutism). When I asked "how so?" none could come up with anything and one even started crying because she couldn't. Her comment later was that "we have a great team but a lousy coach"

The "how so?" question completely undid my mothers argument about Hillary & the Democrats' so called crimes too.

I find it a wonderful way to debunk this argument without being hostile.

( still on speaking terms with all my trumpy relatives)
