The Conservatives know that Trudeau will perform better than expected tonight and this is their way of tempering that. "Of course he performed better than expected. He wore pants." (Note to Jacks: I am not quoting anyone here. I am just giving an example of what I think the Conservatives will say).
That said, the boxing ring thing this morning was a big mistake by Trudeau. It nurtures the style over substance narrative. It reminds me of Stockwell Day's "seadoo" episode.
