And he couldn't be bothered to prepare for the biggest test of his life.

This was true 21st century Know-Nothingism. He plainly had not done even the most rudimentary preparation for the most important political night of his life. He spent the whole night drunk on the applause he's had from his frothing, adoring public over the past 18 months. His entire appearance was an insult to his supporters, to the audience, to everyone watching at home, and to the entire concept of democratic governance going back to Pericles. He is running for president as a guy who doesn't care enough to do the real work....
But Donald Trump is so damned proud of how he doesn't really know dick about anything, and so damned convinced that not knowing dick about anything actually makes him smarter than the rest of us mortals, that he was utterly incapable of raising any of these points in a coherent fashion. There were two presidents on that stage on Monday night and he wasn't one of them.
Hell, I wouldn't let him park my car.

(23,943 posts)Indeed not. If I had a dog, I would let him poop scoop.
I do have cats and I would not let him anywhere near them except to scoop their boxes and clean up barfed out hairballs.

(26,117 posts)It would have been harder for her to get under a more seasoned debater's skin, though. He's a child.

(8,994 posts)I could tell he went to those points like a preprogrammed moron.
There were a few of them he raised a few times.
Almost all failed as he blustered and interrupted Hilary.
Holt failed to address that rudeness and his talking over time all too often.
He revealed himself a selfish, lazy liar as a candidate. Frightening.

(58,584 posts)Oh, he started out trying to be "calm, rational, informed Trump" but that kind of act won't stand that kind of scrutiny. Even reality TV shows can do multiple takes. No such thing in a 90 minute live performance.
