Damn. Where was that dude last night?

Hopefully it was just a bad night, but what a night to have a bad night.

I don’t know if the cold thing is just a desperate spin or not, but his voice was awful last night, and appears much better in this video.

His performance probably would have been a lot better if they hadn't held the debate at 9pm in the evening. He was probably running on empty after being up for over 12 hours.

He was probably running on empty after being up for over 12 hours.

Presidents generally don't get much sleep, and we don't know what else he dealt with yesterday that isn't public news. He's leading the country, he can't necessarily ensure a good night's sleep the night before the debate.
