    It’ll 100% be edited.

    The question is can they edit in such a way that he looks competent.

    It’s good that they’re putting the full transcript up, but these days there’s no reason not to put the full interview online. Like Daily Show does when they don’t have the airtime for the full interview

      Dude, he’s already been in public multiple times since the debate. He did a rally, he gave some speeches, and he did a medal of honor ceremony. He was fine in each, and you can watch them completely unedited.

      Unless he’s caught another cold and is high as balls on cough medicine, he’ll be fine.

        Those were highly controlled public appearances. It’s pretty easy to get those done without fucking up. There’s no substitute for us seeing him in a completely unscripted and natural setting, and he has consistently done pretty badly in those types of situations lately. When someone his age starts to decline, it can happen really fast. He’s not to blame for that, it’s just human, we get old and lose our abilities. He is to blame for thinking he’s fit for another four years of one of the most stressful jobs in the world.

        I want you to be right, I really do, but I’m not sure where you’re getting your confidence.

        My dude, you’re equating readings from teleprompters and crowd greetings compared to organic conversation and debate.

        White House said he wasn’t on cold meds for debate.

        Colds don’t cause you to jump mid-sentence from abortion to immigration. Or to, “finally beat Medicare.” Enough copium.

          That’s a fair critique, but I genuinely do think the debate performance was a one-off, a shitty confluence of events, and that he’s otherwise been fine.

          I’ll eat crow if the interview is terrible or highly edited, though.
