John, excellent of you to take in the whole two hours.

Trump was entertaining, and the audience was engaged. Admittedly, the Long Island crowd included fresher ears than those in his more traditional stomping grounds.

In contrast, Kamala Harris, encircled by superstars and hosted by Oprah Winfrey, was lackluster in the brief moments she was positioned to shine.

Kamala Harris failed to prepare. Trump can mostly pass by not doing so -- Harris can't.

Best.
