During a campaign stop in Michigan, Joe Biden repeatedly used the phrases "for real" and "not a joke" while discussing the American middle class.

David Brooks defended Joe Biden's conflated war stories, attributing them to the "jostling" of the campaign trail rather than intentional lying.

Observations of Hillary Clinton's unusual eye movements during speeches are attributed to the placement of multiple teleprompter screens. The wide spacing between the left, right, and rear monitors forces a specific head-turning and reading pattern that can appear unnatural on camera. Additional speculation concerns the appearance of her eyes, with some suggesting the use of specialized contact lenses.
