NRA 215th in Line

Witty moustache, unusual backdrop, softball questions from talking heads without a scroll to read, and then the pay-off that Mr. NRA (aka Rathie) does not think POTUS knows what he's saying about taxes. Rule in insurgency rhetoric, when POTUS doesn't overwhelm the speaker and the audience, POTUS does not win the moment. Mr. NRA was ahead on points when he started, "Well, I drove several hundred miles...slept on the sidewalk...was 215th in line..." Compare this to the POTUS who was swept in on AF1 and feted in limos and holding rooms. Gosh. The question turned on taxes. Not the way the Politburo wants the argument to go, since the CBO is adamant that the healthcare packages will raise costs and deepen deficit. NRA. Now what does that stand for? Did the NRA support POTUS? Did POTUS think if he pushed over Mr. NRA, he gets a gold star for moxie?  Jaw jaw.
