I only listened to it and not even all of it. Clicked off when O'Reilly tried to force Trump to label Putin a killer.

Trump is over his head, I agree, but seems to be a fast learner. To me, he's improving in articulation. But as I've said before, I'm interested in policy. So I'm not worried that Trump is over his head. In fact, I wish he would just admit it when interviewed and say something like "I don't know enough yet to have a final decision right now, but I will". And then shut up, lol. Two things undermine Trump: One is that he tries to be witty and throws off one-liners that are sometimes inappropriate and almost always can be miscontrued. The other is that he still seems to think that letting himself be interviewed so much is going to change the left's opinion of him. I would be advising him to duck the media and limit interviews the way Hillary and Obama did.

Actually, I'm pretty much ignoring Trump's public utterances and have for awhile. At present I'm interested in getting inside Bannon's head--looking for the positives and negatives in his core ideas.

As always, my focus is on trade issues, improving jobs for Americans, and immigration.
