Episode notes

I think it's also understanding how to communicate policy ideas. Trump, you know, I have things I can praise Trump about if we want to get to that segment at some point. In the moment, the way he relates to adversaries on stage, et cetera, is very good in that he is very much aware of how it is going to be seen by the audience. And so that's why a lot of times it's more about, doesn't matter that a word salad came out of his mouth, how he immediately responded and related to the person is very good.
