Trump Breaks Down Onstage

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

57% : David A. Graham: Has anyone noticed that Trump is really old?He eventually pivoted for good to a playlist of his favorite songs: "Hallelujah," "Rich Men North of Richmond," "Nothing Compares 2 U," Elvis's rendition of "Dixie."
56% : The election is in three weeks and Pennsylvania is a must-win state for both candidates, but during a rally in Montgomery County, northwest of Philadelphia, last night, Trump got bored with the event, billed as a town hall, and just played music for almost 40 minutes, scowling, smirking, and swaying onstage.
53% : At one point, he announced that he'd play "YMCA" and then the event would end, but attendees stayed, so Trump just kept rolling.
51% : The event only wrapped up around the time that an aide brought Trump a note during "November Rain."As horrifying as it all was, no one expects to see a reaction like the concerted push for change that followed Biden's debate collapse.
49% : Instead, people come to say they saw Trump.
35% : But it soon became clear that Trump wasn't in a fighting mode.
34% : Trump is no stranger to surreal moments, yet this was still one of the oddest of his political career.
33% : Trump has transgressed so far, for so long, that he can barely shock anymore.
32% : Like Joe Biden's disastrous debate against Trump in June, when the president's fumbling performance and struggle to get sentences out made it impossible to believe he was up to the task of serving for four years, Trump's rally last night would force any reasonable person to conclude that he is not up to the grueling task of leading the world's greatest nation, handling economic crises, or dealing with foreign adversaries.Which isn't to say that some people didn't try to reason through it.
30% : The event began normally enough, at least by Trump standards, but, after two interruptions for apparent medical emergencies in the audience, Trump lost interest.
27% : David A. Graham: Trump's West Point stumbles aren't the problemReporters have noticed Trump's supporters leaving rallies early in recent weeks, yet many people hung around as Trump bobbed on the stage and said nothing last night.
25% : But Republican officeholders are terrified of Trump, because rank-and-file Republican voters worship Trump in an entirely different way -- something demonstrated by them hanging around for his DJ set and Noem's obsequious "sir"s all night.
23% : At a campaign event last night, Trump got bored -- and weirdness ensued.
