Frustrating Fred [Kathryn Jean Lopez]
What I find mildly aggravating is that we won't see him in action on Thursday. (While we will see a lot of we-know-won't-happens who shall remain nameless.) If no one shines at the debate, there will be this sense that it doesn't matter because Thompson can save the day. If someone shines, their performance will be diminished by this mystical candidate, who didn't have to stand in the lineup.
It's still relatively early of course so that's fine. But him not being there just delays the real initial "so here's what we've got" event. Which, of course, may be good for the whole process.
