Yep, the answers were numbered and the numbers corresponded to the number given to the reporter. Questions were screened ahead of time by his staff and given a number. The reporter asked that question in the news conference so Old Joe had the answer right in front of him as long as he didn’t confuse the reporter’s number with the numbered answer in his notebook. Which he did apparently with the gun control question. This how they intend to do this from now on. They got away with it once so they’ll try it again.
It took weeks to rehearse this with Joe. When they thought he was ready, they scheduled the news conference. He looked like a dear in the headlights, afraid he wouldn’t get through it. Just as he hesitated before climbing the steps to AF1, probably vaguely realizing he’s having trouble with steps and his balance.
He’ll never do a State of the Union. That’s way beyond his mental capabilities. By the way, who leaked the pictures of his cheat sheets? Somebody is trying to blow the whistle on this fraud.
