...last night was the one taking on tfg’s rallies.
He actually held together better-and much longer- than I had expected he would. I’d thought he’d have lost it within 20-30 minutes; but adrenaline is a pretty effective survival drug, (even on top of anything else that may have been on board), and he was definitely perceiving the threats to his election bid, (and therefore his chance of staying out of prison), and of being embarrassed on a national newscast, so his subconscious was in overdrive trying to keep up his defenses & hold him together.
But the jab at his rallies was the final nudge that sent him off the rails. His subsequent lies about the size of his rallies- and his projections about hers, (bussing people in, having to pay an audience to show up, etc)- were ratcheted up to another level of desperation.
One he really didn’t recover from, he was much more erratic after that.
