8. I'm betting the speech will amount to little more

than a string of meaningless buzzwords stitched together into something that only vaguely resembles English. By the time it's over, even his closest allies will be left wondering what, exactly, he just said, and what they're supposed to do about it. To me, this feels less like a serious attempt to aaffect change than just another performance for his own benefit: a stage, a microphone, and an audience while he talks mostly to himself. His claims will be unsupported, his language muddled, and his "message" little more than a collection of bumperstickers designed to fire up the faithful for an hour. Then, as with so many speeches of his, the excitement fades, little changes, and the whole exercise disappears without any measurable consequence.

That's just my guess though, but I think as guesses go, it's got a better chance than heads or tails.
