‘Pod Save America’ Host on the Debate: ‘What Kind of Donald Trump Shows Up Is the Biggest Question’

EXCERPT:

LOVETT: "Like, what kind of Donald Trump shows up, I think, is one of the biggest questions, because he's out there in front of his biggest, weirdest fans, and he's like, 'Should I be nice or should I be mean?' And they want him to be mean. And he wants to give them what they want. But, you know, his campaign is hoping that that Donald Trump doesn't make it a show about how extreme and dangerous Donald Trump is. And the format, which a lot of people are saying, 'Oh, you know, it's going to — they're going to shut off Trump's mic, ha-ha-ha, we're going to shut off Trump's mic.' It might be conducive to, like, keeping that kind of Trump in check. The only — I think the other side of it is five minutes into a debate, Donald Trump's going to forget any kind of prep, and then he's going to go all instinct, and then he's going to — he's not going to be able to stop himself."
