1. I'd be interested to see the crowd reaction to grandpa's Sundowning episode

[barbtries]

19. they cheer at every syllable.

it's incomprehensible.

[Cheezoholic]

33. I'd like to see all 10 of them too ;) n/t

[ZonkerHarris]

2. must be his handlers biggest fear, a broken teleprompter, causing trump to just riff off his head about shit.

[rsdsharp]

5. Bill Clinton once ad libbed the first part of a 1993 health care speech before Congress.

The wrong speech was loaded and he winged it until the problem was corrected.

[ZonkerHarris]

7. i remember that. I like smart presidents

[PatSeg]

29. Bill Clinton was brilliant and a gifted speaker

He was never at a loss for words.

[PatSeg]

34. I can't believe that he normally uses a

teleprompter. His speeches are just jumbled word salads. There's no way those speeches were prepared. He must adlib a whole lot.

3. Man says nothing intelligent. I've seen this clip before. Different venue, different stop.

same unintelligent message.

[TSExile]

25. Different stop...

...same slop.

[3catwoman3]

35. Oh, I like this.

I'm sure I'll find plenty of opportunities to use it.

[TSExile]

36. Go for it, my friend.

That's what it is - slop, swill, etc.

[Traildogbob]

4. Why he will

Not be allowed to debate by GQP handlers.

[NoMoreRepugs]

6. What an orator, what a gasbag.

[Srkdqltr]

8. The amazing thing is that his followers understand him.

[calimary]

18. Shit - the REALLY amazing thing is that he has followers who will vote for him.

And sometimes, it's whether they understand him or not. He presses all their "needy" buttons.

[bdamomma]

24. He won't

protect or exclude them either. He hates the "poorly educated".

I am one of many who wish he just goes away. Tired of him, and his hate, and his cult, including Leonard Leo, and the rest of the scum who push his agenda.

[B.See]

32. Exactly. Theirs is a malevolent celebration of sheer ignorance,

couples with malice and hate for all they perceive as 'woke.' For them, truths, facts or simply making sense DOESN'T MATTER.

The more senseless, the better. They revel in the chaos - -because making sense is 'woke'

[lpbk2713]

9. Big dumbass.

Anyone associated with Trump should be embarrassed.

[Faux pas]

10. I'm sick to death

of that boil on the ass of life

[calimary]

23. Take a number.

[Emile]

11. WTF, couldn't understand what he was saying about

folks. This guy has a problem.

[lastlib]

16. (it made more sense in the original German.....) n/t

[PatSeg]

31. Or Russian

[enough]

12. That's not unintelligible. He's saving an award situation with a riff

his base will relate to.

[Prairie Gates]

13. Wait until he hears about "folx"

[Hassler]

14. Dementia J Chump's Dad had Alzheimer's and so does America's Biggest Loser

[malaise]

15. The criminal defendant just used it

Six times in that one clip

[keithbvadu2]

17. Didn't the right wingers whine about Obama 'needing' a teleprompter?

[llmart]

20. Didn't know he would be in my state today.

This must have been the stench there was in the air. I've never even heard of Freeland. Apparently it's one of those towns where no one has ever heard of it - northern Michigan redneck area with probably all of a couple thousand people. He's been reduced to playing his schtick to next to nobody.

[Ocelot II]

27. Like the ending of This Is Spinal Tap.

[damifino10]

21. Folks??? What's that mean?

It means he doesn't give a rats ass about "FOLKS."

[LoisB]

22. The Orange Menace in 2016:

“I’ve always said, if you run for president, you shouldn’t be allowed to use teleprompters,” Trump said in October. “Because you don’t even know if the guy is smart.”

[calimary]

37. HAH! The devil you say, donald!

[Luck Counts]

26. Nothing new here.

Aren't all his rants unintelligible?

[ret5hd]

28. Huh...seems i recall that using a teleprompter was

ridiculed by the right.

am i misunremembering?

[jcgoldie]

30. Are you saying it would be hipocritical...

...for Trump to bitch about his teleprompter not working after repeatedly criticizing Obama for using one? Surely the right with not stand for hypocrisy!
