1. He's just trying to work the visuals to his advantage.
All things being equal, the eye will gravitate toward whatever is moving. Lesser actors sometimes try to steal attention and scenes by doing that - the cowboy over at the bar who keeps flicking his pocket knife or something. The Star is up front, but you're looking at that flicking knife.

Besides, it has the additional slap-across-the-face by stepping on whoever else is talking and rudely superimposing his agenda on top. In this case, it's shaking head whenever a Dem speaks. The subliminal message is - "hear those statements? They're wrong. They're not true."

2. Abrams had some rabid, foam-at-the-mouth type guests last week.
Lars Larson and some nutcase female from Vegas.

IMHO, Brad seems cool and calm in comparison.

I wonder if that was intentional by Abrams.

3. brad is on the defensive tonight...
because his candidate's chief mouthpiece advocates terrorist activities as a means to win an election. He let the boys know that he's open to them perpetrating an act. Where I come from , that's treason and sedition and is punishable by hanging.
