"confuses" is different from "misspeaks" though…
I know my bar has dropped a lot, but he spoke for an hour and fielded questions. He was pretty damn coherent, and knew what the fuck he was talking about defending his foreign policy decisions, etc. it kinda sucks all of that is boiled down to he said the wrong name.
I want him to step aside for another candidate. His "bad debate night" was scary as fuck. But this article is ridiculous.
BUT....
Were you and I watching the same presser? He had moments of brilliance, but his fumbles were apparent throughout the night.
I feel like people who said he had a good conference are either
I watched maybe half of it. It was painful. He was mumbly. He misspoke. He lost his train of thought. His expressions and body language were stiff and unnatural. Occasionally he remembered some talking points and was able to regurgitate them without messing up too badly.
If the guy we saw last night was my waiter at a restaurant I would assume my food was going to arrive late, cold, and not be at all what I ordered.
He sounded punch drunk.
