Is he pulling a WWE shine today? with all the crazy, leading up to tonight?

Is he fakin it, with the intent of playing the part of the sage, unshakable worldly leader?

is that his intent?

even if it is, will he be able to pull it off?

It would seem to be the smart move, but I don't know if he is................it's a pretty obvious one, though, if I could think it up.

He's not that smart. Really, he's not.

He's only smarter than the people who he's conning.

Beyond that, there's no there there.

but I really don't know that he has enough self-control for 1.5 hours.

If you recall in the first debate he was pretty stable the first half-hour and then it went downhill from there.

I think if he really were smart he would eat shit and beg forgiveness. But I've been wrong every single time and he just acts like himself which is horrible.

The art of the deal author..schwartz I think said he has the attention span of a gnat.
