If I were the head of the RNC, I wouldn’t want hours’ worth of quotable embarrassments available for the media to rerun 3 months before an election, either. Plus—it would give Democrats about 45 minutes of Trump incoherency to quote (and for Rachel to laugh at) on a daily basis. They would only doing us a favor, since Trump could read from The Cat In The Hat, and his base would declare him an erudite genius.
