In addition to what you said, what comes through clearest for me is his total disdain for everyone who isn't him. The cookie comment was totally unnecessary and so insulting to his hosts. His willingness to toss out lie after lie so blatantly shows complete disrespect and disdain for his audience. Only someone who thinks that his audience are complete idiots who will never figure out the truth for themselves would do that. While he's actually correct in that assessment of R audiences, I don't see it playing for the wider audience of the general election.
