Trump says his mic was not working.....

How much of a leader can anyone be if they will not interrupt and say his mic is not working?

I know his mic actually was working but if that is the excuse he is giving, for poor performance, then we need to deconstruct what it means. He could not talk about who pays for his wall when he was down in Mexico and he could not speak up about the hypothetically defective mic.

What kind of leader is that weak?

Makes all kinds of ugly noises, that's all.
Had he farted loudly it would have picked that up too, probably was squeezing his cheeks together the whole time.

Back in January he threatened to not pay 'the bastard' who set up the sound system at a rally in Pensacola.

That is not the kind of thinking
that should be leading this country.
He might nuke Batboy.

That's a defect, all right.

Someone posted that before the next debate, Hillary should walk over to Donald and offer to swap mics with him.

Is he trying to tell us someone ELSE was "sniffling" into his mic and trying to make it sound like he had a cocaine problem?

11. It's not well known, but Hillary is a ventriloquist.

She was making the sniffling noises and throwing the sound so they appeared to be coming from the poor The Donald.

He will make those overseas and they will be the greatest mics ever made anywhere. Period.
