Daily CNN check-in: This a.m.: "fRump: nuts, talking about losing" HRC: "just another politician"

fRump is live at noon sounding really subdued and talking like a businessman not a candidate. His thunder is stolen. He's very low-energy.

On edit: As he rambles on, he sounds thoroughly defeated. He's phoning it in.

The teacher in me is hearing him thinking: "Well, if I can't say what I want, and I have to be their puppet, then I don't give a s&%#. I'll do as told and they'll lose and get what they deserve. "

That's not a quote, that's what I hear when I hear him speak with no energy, no enthusiasm.

I don't think I hear a person to can continue to go on like this. Just my own personal speculation.

In addition to being a sociopathic, narcissistic, megalomaniac .... he is probably the most profoundly ignorant person to run for president ... its exhausting listening to him

so he's either intentionally controlling himself, or, more likely (since self-control is not his strong suit), his campaign people slipped a little Thorazine into his morning orange juice.

That's why he thinks he can do it, too. Governing is easy, until it's your turn to do it.

CNN was telling him his statements weren't true. CNN holding ground, not leaning right for frump.
