Yep, you said it. I didn’t want to say it, but that thought has crossed my mind ...
...I don’t think that is going on, I just don’t think Trump thought he needed to prep the way you do for a debate...which was a HUGE mistake...
...as a former military prosecutor I have been (figuratively) tearing my hair out at the performances of GOP nominees in debates ever since 1992 - with the sole exception of Romeny’s first debate - (after which, of course, he went full wimp and didn’t finish the job)....
...the problem is that the skills that made Trump as big a success in his field are not necessarily the skills needed to come out on top in a debate format - especially with hostile moderators - he needed lots and lots of prep and PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE ... hopefully he will do some of that before round 2 ...
... but I am not optimistic ...
Not prepping was a big mistake. I know Brannon will not let that happen again. Hope Trump is a quick study.
