IMO there is a significant difference in having speaking notes or having queue cards with specific instructions, predefined responses and Journalist names with pics of who to specifically call on. Hell they even had to give the demented one damn directions on how to exit the stages and he still managed to fall flat on his ass. The difference, Trump could put two sentences together and used his note cards as thought reminders, whereas Brandon used his as a damn babysitter. Never let the puppet run off script.
