I was actually surprised that Trump can carry a conversation in a manner that makes you realize he is really dumbing down his rallies. Sure, he takes a long time to say very little, but overall, he came out looking better.

I will say that Rogan is NOT a journalist. He provides a platform that puts the subject at ease. He summarizes an unclear point in the most gracious way possible. He asks no hard questions nor points out uncomfortable contradictions nor corrects important misrepresentations of facts. It's a chat; not an interview.
Absolutely. I think that's what makes it work so well. You probably get a better idea of who the person is through this medium than through a normal interview.
That's exactly the realization that are coming forth for me around dumbing down his rallys and the format of that. Though, I think that's pretty dumb.
Agreed.
