So the prompter was also in high gear. How strange? It means this pace was actually planned and not spontaneous.

He's quite unwell and propped up by drugs. I really don't think we need to worry about him running for a third term. He likes to talk about it so he doesn't seem like such a lame duck.

Lame duck gonna be dead duck or demented duck before three more years are up.
