This will be interesting. Here we have a malignant narcissist who got totally outclassed in a venue he thought he owned. He’s going to stew on that endlessly ‘til the next debate. Meanwhile, his handlers will be pouring advice, criticism, coaching, facts at him like a fire hydrant, trying to straighten him out. It won’t work. No amount of last-minute debate prep can fix a guy who simply doesn’t understand what he’s talking about.
He won’t be able to escape the public scorn seeping through the cocoon they keep him in and it will work on him like dripping acid. Speaking of dripping acid, there’s the Mooch; she’s gonna be all over his butt. She even started before he got off the stage.
His state of mind when he has to step out on the stage again with Romney will be very tenuous. He will have tried to rebuild the mythic bubble around his ego by latching onto every lame excuse proffered but deep inside he’ll know that he’s not up to the task. We may see something spectacular in the next debate.
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall......
