I don't know if you've come across it, but I have: a lot of people were questioning whether Trump had changed, pointing to some recent media appearances and changes to his campaign staffs.
So giving him the hour of air time helped people realize what plenty of us have been saying for years: he has not and cannot change.
The airtime helped people see for themselves that he's just as awful as ever.
If you've talked to people on the fence like that, you might see how beneficial the airtime was for informing them, with their own eyes, that he's not even able to be normal in this setting.

This is an excellent point, and I hope you're correct. I fear that for every one that finally fell off the fence back onto the side of sanity he emboldened one jackass MAGA moron to do something stupid or worse.
