He will be capable of *pretending* to a particular presentation for a while to meet his root goals for himself, but as we have seen, when confronted the pretense falls away to become hostility, lies,and/or evasion. This man as president is dangerous to the world, and, unfortunately, a lot of dangerous things are presently coming to pass :-(

And yes, I agree that your presentation to your friend was awesome :-)

All that noise about Benghazi, it was Congress that failed to vote funding for additional security...

It's an important time, and your words are wise. So much of this is going to come down to the Swing-states, and I'm hoping you're in one of them speaking these wise words, or that they spread and things start making sense again. Five more months. :)

I vote in Alaska, which generally goes conservative, sadly enough.
