Maybe overhyped then. Overprepared just isn't a thing.
Overrehearsed

A huge majority of Trump's campaign is Us vs. Them. Mexicans and Muslims are at the top of the list. To say Trump hasn't spewed hate towards Mexicans from the second he got the escalator is to ignore the campaign. As recently as Tuesday, Trump was having "Build the wall" chants. "Build the wall" is 100% about being anti-Mexican/Hispanic.
It's not an exaggeration. It's a core reason why Trump is the nominee.
RJ, I know you hate Trump. I get it. Kaine's entire strategy last night was to come out swinging against Trump using, in large part, hyperbole. It's one of the main reasons Mike fucking Pence "won" the debate.
This is not true. He distorted a few things (Pence being cheerleader for privatized Social Security, Trump didn't say all Mexican immigrants are rapists) but the majority of his attacks are backed up with quotes from Trump.Problem was that he almost every time distorted what Trump said and this allowed Pence to dodge.
Would have been much more effective sticking to accurate Trump quotes.
It's like a tunnels discussion.
That's a pretty good mashup, I feel like Trump and Pence actually think they are living in the great American 50s and not 2016 where everything is recorded on video and easily searchable.
He misquoted Pence's statement on Putin as well. Pence said that it's inarguable that Putin is a stronger leader than Obama, not a better leader. Although as was pointed out on NPR this morning, that's really just parsing since the underlying intent was clear.
when you're terrible at the game, blame the refs

You can quote someone and still mislead the public. For example, a quote might not tell the entire story, could be taken out of context, might not fully represent how the person feels, the person might have misspoke, etc.
