Anyone else think he TACO'd out tonight?

I just have this nagging, gut feeling that the speech he delivered tonight was very different than what he intended to deliver when he first announced that he was going to address the country.

Wondering if anyone else feels that way?

I think he saw that he wasn't going to get very far and he pulled back from saying that the two Georgia Senators were not duly elected, that he had rightfully won 2020, etc. Maybe he listened to some of the feedback from people who had been told he was going to say those things, and he changed his mind.

I dunno. Again, just a feeling, and wondering if anyone else feels the same way.

If SO, then I am more and more interested in Ossof and Warnock's approaches. They called his ass out BEFORE he could start the baloney. Maybe that tactic works better than we thought.
