It must have been after the sad *nurse Ratchet praising her toddler patient* scene. Because he definitely was so out of it, it was sad.

Maybe the disastrous drug concoction wore off and he felt better after a while.

I know what you mean. When he was accepting Jill’s praise like a dazed two year old, who just had his first potty success for #2, he looked so pathetic.

But a few minutes later, he was addressing the group (I almost said crowd) in strident tones and angrily declaring that when he gets knocked down, he gets back up.

Some combination of drugs and hypnosis? Or they messed up the debate cocktail (hmmm…, and like you said, he was better without it?

Maybe they were trying to tone down the anger and hostility and without it he has no affect left to speak of. Maybe they meant him to do poorly and bring us to this point. The media certainly seemed (for all their supposed shock) to be ready for it.
