In the beginning, they beat the crap out of him, obviously coming prepared and planning to specifically beat the crap out of him, every one of them. Which was tactically and strategically sound planning on their part. He looked shook by the experience. Around the halfway mark he sounded better, responded better, had policy, knew and used facts better, got off the ropes, if you will. He did not do well with the women treatment thing at his company and got cornered on sticking to the use of the non-disclosure agreements. Made me wonder what the back story of that situation was. He wasn't up there to make me wonder about "me-too" bull$hit. Guess we'll find out or one of you will tell me if it is common knowledge, that I'm just unaware of. He sounded like a centrist, not a left loon. He sounded like a capitalist, unashamed at having worked hard and built from nothing. He sounded like some CEOs and COOs I have met that worked their way to the top, as opposed to having bought their way into the boardroom. I liked that. I don't know if it will work out for him, but we could do a lot worse. Two on that stage worry the hell out of me, that I might actually have to vote for them. He sounds like he might be a fiscal conservative. I like that. We shall see what we shall see, but he ain't done yet.
