The true believers are ignoring it as hard as they can.

No, Mike. According to the ceaseless Fox News narrative, Obama is
helpless without a teleprompter. He debated the GOP for over an hour,
all of them lined up with prepared questions. Not only did he not fall
apart, he gave no ground whatsoever. In fact he did very well. It's that
simple. The entire narrative is ridiculous and stupid.

She was drilled night and day going into the debate and managed to
repeat a bunch of memorized sound bites, mostly without embarrassing
herself. It's not like she did well.

I got it from the link Carbon posted. It has to be credible, a fellow
leftist of yours is using it as a reference (sarcasm intended).
