If you watched the interview last night, Cackles constantly had to look down when answering questions. This idiot had to check her cheatsheet despite already been given the answers.
She can't even do a SCRIPTED INTERVIEW w/o checking her notes. No wonder she demanded chairs and notes when debating Trump.
She is going to be obliterated by Trump on debate night.
You've never had a job that required any kind of analysis and presentation, so you wouldn't understand this. But even the most experienced professionals refer to outlines or notes when discussing or arguing points that they knew about weeks or months in advance. Having a "cheatsheet" is standard and good practice. Amongst other things, it reminds you of points you want to make and keeps you focused on organization. Those are both things that can fall short in a dynamic situation like an interview, even a planned interview. Even just a planned speech with no questions.
It's a rare person who can provide a focused and comprehensive presentation of any complexity without notes. Bill Clinton comes to mind. Christopher Hitchens. Those types. For us normies (or dopes like Harris and Trump), notes are indispensable. You can see how much Trump suffers in presentation when he has no notes as compared to when he does. Well, you can't, but normal people can.
