But it gives a guy like Trump a chance to "prove" he is "presidential" by not actually crapping his pants and throwing it around the room.
Read a well prepared speech without your teeth falling out and all is well for a while.
And it rallies the base. It feeds what they want to hear, usually.
I just wonder what would happen if Trump heard a boo? Or anything evenly remotely derisive? Would he slip into campaign mode or remain "presidential"?
Your anger and ego will always reveal your true self.
