He's panicking now because his handlers are. They are the ones in charge and they know it's over and they really screwed up this time. This horrible speech of hate that was compiled over weeks and months was designed to create a blue wave; instead, it created even further division with even some moderate blues probably disliking it. Sloppy Joe isn't an orator or master of speechcraft. He is a demented moron with brain damage who can't put a sentence together. They should have known better but the foam is bubbling at the handlers mouths.
