Jeb did not even try to push back or counter the “facts” which were presented to him by the lying POS Colbert.
He didn’t push back because he’s a low energy guy, and because he’s not too bright, he’s not very quick either. Give him a few CoC talking points to regurgitate, that’s about all he’s good for.
Right. Memorized talking points only. He didn’t even listen to the full question, which was long, but he couldn’t restrain himself from immediately starting with “when I was Gov in Florida. ..” Stick to the script at all costs.
“Jeb did not even try to push back or counter the “facts” which were presented to him by the lying POS Colbert.”
Yes, that is the old GOPe strategy. Do not call the media on the false premises that they present.
The “question” was loaded with false premises. Everything from the 90% support for “background checks”, undefined, and really a precursor to universal gun registration, to the notion that “background checks” have any effect on rampage shooters.
Jeb did not accept those premises in his answer, if you listen closely. But the to the low information voter, he appeared to do so.
