From a parliamentarian perspective that makes sense. It seems effective because incompetence can be quickly addressed. The US system isn't built for addressing incompetence. We have the nuclear option which the Presidents own party has to set off. Won't his party push back against the mocking more than the serious presentation of issues? I don't think we've had someone as unhinged as this before. We seem to lack statesmen (McCain?) right now for a serious addressing of the issues, so maybe mocking is our only angle.
