Albaby, you're being hysterical. So, you think it's physically impossible that a confluence of lack of sleep, a cold, cold medicine, poor preparation from his advisors, and debate rules that ultimately favored Trump's Gish Galloping couldn't disorient an otherwise highly capable man?

Exceedingly unlikely, yes. Go back and look at the video. That's not a person of ordinary competence dealing with some poor debate prep or a cold (which was never mentioned before the event, and which didn't show up in his performance the next day). It wasn't a person having trouble responding to a Gish Gallop. It's a person who's deeply struggling to meet the moment.

It's not hysteria. There's a reason that virtually every political observer is acting as though his performance was catastrophic, well beyond the ordinary range of a bad debate. This was a crippling display.
