After which they go on to say how Biden and Hillary are to blame for whatever the topic is.

The denial takes a second and then they fill the time with as much filibustering bullshit as time or their interviewer lets them get away with.

Dems need to have good succinct responses to these deflection statements. Republicans have been using them for years with good affect and air time but democrats have yet to, as a group, have short, good, and repeated comebacks that stop Rs cold.
