Considering that I'm writing in my dog, come November, my interest in politics is not exactly all consuming, but I made a point of watching it and it was a masterpiece of oratory and audience control. The man was at the front of the line when they were handing out charisma, and we could probably use more serial pant droppers at 1600.
