Q: One theory on how you might try to serve a 3rd term is that you could run at the vice president

Overall… it was… good. Not great. Not special. Certainly not game changing.

But nothing hurt. Nothing made me roll my eyes in disbelief. I never felt like the show wasn’t moving along at a reasonable pace.
