I think she was well prepared. She didn’t have all of the answers (or did but didn’t want to admit them) but she held her own and never came across as flustered by his childish MO. She deflected the questions quite well. If she’d answered with “no, I only found out this morning for definite” it would be used against her despite being a perfectly reasonable answer.
