There really isn’t anything too remarkable about Brian Fallon’s tweet previewing the upcoming presidential debates, until you remember that Fallon is the Clinton campaign’s press secretary, and — just throwing this out there — might have an ulterior motive in praising Donald Trump’s showmanship.

its the job of each campaign to underplay their strengths before any debate, I bet Trump doesn't do that though he'll brag big
