He used over 50 words to not give the correct one-word answer.

It wouldn’t be asked if they didn’t deny it

hes right. It’s 100% a gotcha question. it is, quite possibly right now, the easiest question to ask to immediately weed out insanity. he didnt answer the question. we got him. simple as that.

Yeah, just like the question, “Is the Earth flat?” What a moron

It’s only a gotcha question if you are planning on lying and being intellectually dishonest about it because you know that telling the truth will harm your political career and will cause a mob of deranged people to threaten you, but you know people watching you lie will be able to use that against you and… oh.

Trump and MAGA have irreparably harmed this country, and I don’t know if I’ll see it recover in my lifetime. I hate him so much for this.

It’s only a loaded question if you’re treasonous scum Mike!

Only because the truth will only get him death threats from his own side of the aisle. Mike lives in terror of waking up late at night to find a cro-magnon creature, standing over him with a club, babbling something about space lasers.

I can’t imagine how dumb someone has to be to vote for reps like this.

Yes, but what makes it a gotcha is how exceedingly easy it *should* be to answer and move on. If the gotcha is a question like “Who was the first president of the United States?” and your answer is “I think people are tired of that debate” or “Look, the Harris administration has opened the borders and…” or anything except “George Washington,” that’s the gotcha.

I guess the larger concern for me is the elephant in the room: what do we do if the worst happens & Trump wins?
These supporters + lunatics like Johnson and DeSantis and MTG are going to become even more emboldened & unhinged, and I don’t know what ‘we’ as those on the side of sanity are going to do.
Will it be every man/woman for themselves? Are we going to stick together and help each other?
I want to feel good about this outcome but right now I’ve been having a lot of anxiety about this. I really hope we don’t just ditch each other and isolate if he does win, and that’s what 2016 felt like.
I think we need to talk about this.

Does this guy possess the cognitive capacity to realize how badly he embarrasses himself every time he speaks?

Kind of like the following is a gotcha question:
“Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?”

They gotcha looking like a traitorous fool, alright.

I think it’s more of a litmus test.

It’s only a gotcha question if you are unwilling to acknowledge reality.

It’s only a “gotcha” question because giving the obvious, honest answer, is unacceptable by your own base.

“Who won the 2020 election” = “Do you believe in democracy?”

We stopped punishment of traitors. This is what we get.

No it’s not Mike. You just have to be man enough to tell the truth vs. catering to a man’s ego. God these people have zero credibility.

It’s actually a pretty straightforward answer if you live in reality

Gotcha being a spineless weasel.

“Who’s the president?” Is the sort of question you get asked during a medical evaluation when they suspect you might have been concussed, Mike.

Gotcha, traitor.
Basic facts are only gotcha questions if you lie.
