he used a legendary debate technique called the "Gish Gallop" where you bombard the other person with rapid fire bullshit to gob smack or stun them, and leave them speechless. (google "Gish Gallop"......Knowing Trump's bombastic bullshit, non-stop style, Biden's debate preppers should have prepared him for the probability of Trump using that technique and how to combat it........

As we have seen, he has mastered it in his everyday tsunami of bullshit, mostly to leave the dems stunned and reeling from the continuous chain of crap he spews out of his mouth.

It falls under the old adage: "If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, bury them in bullshit"..................
