“The above really jumped out at me. It’s why I’m most looking forward to what I think will be the first and only debate this year. He will be completely unable and unwilling to study and prep for it. I expect him to make Sarah Palin look like Winston Churchill.”
Love it, especially since I had the same thought. Ever work with a colleague who had to have everything, word for word, scripted? They were generally just too hollow to work ex tempore. With Palin, she was at least bright enough to memorize a series of blurbs that were kind of all-purpose. If, say, a question concerned the economy, she would pull one from column A and another from column B. Dumb as a rock, but smart enough to be scripted and programmed.
Alas, his followers are committed. He could urinate on the podium and they would still vote for him.
He will flounder in a sea of generalities, never once touch dry land.
