    Fwiw, he’s looking over and pointing at a group of North Carolinians that he references right before this clip, so he wasn’t actually addressing the Pennsylvania audience. But, this sort of misleading editing and attack are the kind of thing his campaign does all the time, so, tough titty.

      I don’t know whether to agree or disagree with you. First and foremost, I don’t have the facts, so I say the following generically. We do not need misinformation to make him look bad. I am worried all of this is a ploy to BoTh SiDeS!

        Whatever the facts are, I can tell you that if you watch the video clip in the linked article you will hear a rambling man spout out unintelligible, complete and utter nonsense. Even if you give the guy the benefit of the doubt on the North Carolina thing, he still seems lost in his own train of thought

          Thank you for taking the bullet, I will not be watching that man in any capacity if I can help it. This furthers my point that we don’t need the misinformation, he’ll take care of it himself

          If you watch the rest of the accompanying clip, he’s also lost in his own grandiose vision of himself - going on about how he spoke for 2 hours and they wanted him to speak more, people are stealing his “wonderful, beautiful phrases”, etc. It’s clinically narcissistic.

      Hmm, your context sounds plausible, but people have been saying he is too old and has dementia to the point that he doesn’t know what state he is in. People have been saying his brain is melting from both age and syphilis, the Adderall abuse isn’t helping either.
