So mediocre, more Democrats called for him to leave the race

How pathetic is it when your own campaign officials refer to a run-of-the-mill press conference as a “big boy” press conference? And why did they call it that? Because they have been coddling Joey so much with teleprompters and scripted interviews that sending him out on his own is risky.

Very risky.

And Joey pulled it off. Sure, he referred to Vice President Trump, but he does this so often now that it’s expected. Thankfully, he got it out of the way at the beginning of the questions, so we could concentrate on what he had to say and how he said it.

The “how he said it” being the most important thing this time around. Yes, he has a firm grasp of foreign policy. It’s the way he talks about it that should give you pause.

He doesn’t directly answer the question. He rambles. He tells long detailed stories when a short answer would suffice. He loses track of what he was saying. He forgets the question. He trails off into word salads or just trails off without finishing his thought or his sentence. In other words, he sounds like your grandpa.

And I love how he claims that he is the only one who beat Trump. The only one who can unite NATO. This is shit that all old…
