2. Ha-Ha!

... he doesn't know how to answer and still appeal to House voters. He's worried... He does have a personal hair and make-up team, I see... Don't know how much that helps.. I would advise him to practice responses to issues and just say those to reporters. He gets too involved with the questions! Don't answer directly, Kevin! Just state some lie written by staff! For follow-up questions, repeat the non-answer!

4. A tell and a big one: he's constantly shifiting from one foot to another. His head is rocking from..

..it as he sways, hard, left to right. This "tell" shows me visually he's lying his ass off, no surprise here. Also, in an unscripted setting, his bob-n-weave style demonstrates an unwillingness, sub-consciously, to stand still and directly answer questions.

Not Speaker grade for sure!

6. Exactly! He looked like an unruly little kid who just got caught

with his hand in Mom’s purse looking for extra nickels and dimes to go buy candy his mom won’t let him have.

5. He Didn't say: "We CANNOT have a Candidate for the Presidency who hangs with Racists
