Quayle could be seen at the lectern practicing one of his prepared sound bites in a husky whisper: "When are our opponents going to learn that you can't build yourselves up by tearing America down?" But Quayle seemed hesitant, nervous, already beaten down. Moments later he asked Ailes, who was patrolling the stage like the lord of the manor, whether a certain gesture would be appropriate.
