They were trying this the few days after the debate where he was at various rallies. Just him, in front of his own supporters. He imho he still didn’t come off all that great :(
I don’t really get reassured by rallies. Scripted events he can end at will with no on-the-spot thinking can be done to some extent on autopilot. He was apparently looking great at some generic meet and greets right after the debate. To try to bury the concern he needs interactive speaking engagements on ranging and potentially challenging topics. Town halls, Q&As with followers, late night shows. Let’s see some sharp answers on the spot.

My point is, even the scripted shit didn’t make him look good. If he can’t get those right, he’ll for sure fuck up another “debate.”
