Watters handled a difficult situation fairly well. He let the guy hang himself. His non-answers told Michigan voters exactly where this disagreeable and argumentative fellow stands. And somehow, we know more about Jesse’s anatomy than anybody really wanted to know.

It was interesting to watch. Watters took the high road when E-S continually talked over him. He recognized that E-S was burying himself with his own oafish attitude. O’Reilly would have been much more aggressive in that situation. That is not Watters’ wheelhouse. He is the fun guy. We will see if E-S goes on with Hannity. That could be interesting. Nonstop blabbering from both sides. It is hard to win when you come off as unlikeable.

I agree with your analysis. On the other hand, I've listened to the mainstream publish articles and interviews that sound equally absurd and yet a majority of votes are still recorded for the idiot. E Sayed sounds just fine for a DSA candidate. But then all similar candidates sound "just fine". Let us hope the voters hear the same message you discuss here.

Thank you for this welcome analysis. The interview was very disturbing to watch. I thought Jessie missed some opportunities to respond effectively. But E-S rapid fire repetitive babble made that difficult. He was clearly nervous and defensive from the start. Looks like Watters handed him the rope to hang himself.
