Agreed! Yikes! He was just talking for the sake of talking, had nothing to do with the question asked

I couldn't figure out what they were clapping for - like they would for a small child's performance

Wonder if the folks who own or are in charge of the NYT were in the audience applauding?

I frankly don't think I could sit through the entire word salad again, but it sure made Lawrence's point!

Except for sticking the words "child care" in his nonsensical diatribe when he thought of it.

Or are they really that clueless?? He answered nothing, just spouted nonsense.

They don't mind voting for this half literate ignorant bigoted asshole.

Thanks for the thread Rhiannon

(222,072 posts)15. Thanks for the reminder, Uncle Joe!
And did all those people supposedly listening to TFG's nonsense have the slightest idea what he was saying?? All he does is babble incoherently and people still clap for him!

(60,130 posts)16. I believe they probably tuned him out after "tax cuts for the wealthy" that's all they're concerned with.
At that point, they were just going thru the motions with their applause.
