I don't think "temperament" means what Don the Con thinks it means...

He keeps says that his temperament is "winner" WTF does that even mean? I always took it to mean being steady, or emotional, or laid back, or hyper, or impulsive, not "winner." Am I all wet here?

actually, he might know exactly what it means, but he can't accept defeat or take an insult.

so, aside from the childish counterattack, his favorite defense mechanism is to simply claim superiority.

people are questioning my temperament? no way, i have the best temperament! a winning temperament! probably the best temperament ever!

see, it doesn't really matter whether or not he knows what it means. his reactions are simple and pre-programmed.
fortunately, hillary knows how to push the buttons.

He throws the best temper-tantrums. They are really yuuuuge. You saw the start when he left last nite waiting to get in the suv, then didn't go to his pre-planned post debate victory party, but went home and cried himself to sleep. Watch for any limping today from kicking stuff or laying on the floor kicking his feet.
