Here's how you counter Gish- Galloping: jot down a few words about each lie as your opponent is talking. Next, when the moderator asks you a question, you say, "I'll answer that in a minute, but first I want to address just a few of the many lies my opponent tried to insult our audience with. Mr. Trump, you know it's a lie when you try to take credit for the "veterans' choice" plan, because it was actually President Obama who gave us that plan. The Jan.6th committee did not withhold evidence- that's a lie and you know it." After continuing in this manner for most of your allotted time, you turn to the moderator and say, "Now to address your question...." Trump used this strategy every time. He very seldom answered the moderator's question. Gish-Galloping by your opponent is no excuse for losing a debate, unless you just don't have the mental faculties to respond.
Exactamente! Lies must be convincingly refuted at source. Dismissing them simply as baloney or malarkey and going on is tRump's style. It works for the already-converted but is not convincing for others.
