Owned uncomfortable positions—conceded 9/11 "of course it's illegal," bit the bullet that he doesn't criticize Iran or Hamas, and granted Trump never won a majority—but leaned on a fallacious analogy equating business market-share with military invasion and deflected the might-is-right question with "go live in Iran."
