‘When your enemy is making a mistake, don’t interrupt him’.

Nancy and Chuck were set up. Had no idea it would all be televised. Trump thought he could own them.

That did not work out too well and they were reacting on the fly. Yet they still made him an object of ridicule.

Second guessing them is just sad. I don’t know any 2 politicians who could have pulled that off.

Coulda, shoulda, woulda. But they actually did it. Called him out to his face.
