I know that's what the leftist media is now claiming, but how was it exhaustive? As I understand it, he actually missed virtually all the behind the scenes meeting and whatnot.
And even if he didn't, how was it exhaustive? He only walks as far as a car, that takes him to a private 747, where he has a private suite with a full bath and gym, staff that wait on him hand and foot, anything he wants to eat, drink, watch or listen to. Does not have to touch a suitcase and does not have to go through immigration or customs.
He only flew from the east cost of the US to Europe, what it that, an eight-hour flight? And then he has a week to do nothing but prepare for the debate.
