He came out of nowhere...articulate, knowledgeable, aggressive, likable. But as time has gone on...it's too much. I got a sense that he's been taken by the fame of it all, rather than his CASE, which IMO should be his focus.

Still, he can go toe to toe with Trump and the others, so I appreciate his voice weighing in.
