    He’s still going and he’s not doing great…

    Like, he is saying a lot of words, and they do seek to connect with the ones right next to each other most of the time. But it almost never has anything to do with the question after the first sentence or two

    I can’t tell if he’s pretending to talk to people or actually talking to people in the audience. Like I think he sees journalists making comments or reactions and addressing them.

      It went on too long, he started to lose his train of thought a few times. The end was weird too. I’m not sure “listen to him” meant what he thought it meant.

        The feeding frenzy at the end definitely confirmed that questions were pre-approved and they had to stick with them.

        He was hours late because he was cramming the answers for what he was knew was coming.

        Nothing about this was unscripted

      It’s not complicated. “You think I’m hard to understand? Try listening to that guy.” Subtext.

      Also, he is a lifetime politician. They all dodge hard questions, this is not abnormal. People should apply fair standards to him as a politician, not apply special standards just to him as if he should be better than other politicians or something.
