VegPres and his teleprompter guy came smoking the next day in North Carolina. When his handlers were doping him up the week before the debate they miscalculated. Pugnacious Joe was 18 hours late. All “Dr. Jill” needs to do is to keep him hoped up on drugs and her lies and he’ll stay in. Unless, of course, the DNC offers a huge chunk of that $250 million campaign war chest as a lovely parting gift.
It wasn’t the drugs. It was the fact that he had a tele-prompter to read from. There’s a big difference between reading a teleprompter and responding to questions spontaneously. Even if he had the questions ahead of time, that’s a lot of answers to have to memorize. On top of that, there’s no way he could know ahead of time what Trump would say and how to respond to him.
