Ron nailed it tonight and did 10x better than the last debate, i was VERY impressed. He slowed down his talking a lot, even admitted it for the people to know, that he has problems with his message getting out in these soundbyte type of appearances, which took balls to admit to here.
He asserted himself well, and his supporters stuck up for him so well a couple of times. That was really wonderful to see, and sticking to them fascist bastards at CNN. I noticed sometimes the camera would show just R/M/N with no Paul in the picture. Fucking assholes these MSM pigs can be, i swear. It just really pissed me off seeing that. Can they make it any more obvious what their intentions are!?
Santorum definitely had the worst night, no question about it. He was negative with EVERY RESPONSE. Every time John brought something up, it was always "Well, Mitt and Newt DIDNT do this or that" with whatever the topic was, but notice, he made Ron look better by never relegating him to whatever he was admonishing them for lol, since it's extremely hard to dig dirt on Ron. When Ron mentioned Rick supporting Prescription Drug Plans, right after Rick called out Mitt and Newt, and he didnt get a chance to respond, it make Rick look like a complete hypocrite lol. Ron's comment about Rick being too sensitive too was pure pwnage as well, loved that one
Santorum's closing statement, imo, was horrible also. He put down Reagan and SC as well, by saying they basically made a mistake in choosing 'Reagan The Moderate'. Yea, maybe he was later in his presidency in the second term, but this makes it look like SC didnt know wtf they were doing and an inadvertent cheap shot he took. Then he says at the end 'Vote for me'. That is always a no no , as it's makes it look like flat-out begging.
Now yes, there was no foreign policy to talk about much here, save for maybe the part where Ron mentioned the overseas expenditures when he was talking about health care. Tough to say how the crowd would have responded had they delved into it deeply, however, the crowed seemed a lot more chill than the bloodthirsty werewolves in the last one
However, one important thing i am sure some of you noticed was the Newt temper tantrum in the beginning. Say whatever you will, but this was totally fucking staged and an utter joke. Yes, Newt is right, CNN would know better to bring that crap up, as it is too obvious to go there and completely irrelevant. They staged that whole thing in order to give Newt, their establishment pick right now, a chance to explain himself before the Nightline episode with his ex. What a load of shit, seriously. This just proves the connections Newt has and what a rotten insider he is. I can only image whose strings he had pulled over at CNN to get them to give him 5 mins to explain his side of it and to show him get 'fired up' about it. The whole thing just seemed way too forced and overly convenient.
Overall though, excellent night for Ron...only minor gripe is i wish his closing statement was a touch better, with maybe some NDAA/FP allusions peppered into, but ill take it. I wish he would have mentioned something about GWB's foreign policy in 00, kinda how Frothy brought up Reagan, and mentioned that his 'sensible FP was the same as the one Bush ran on in 00'. But no sweat, he spoke better, more distinct, much more assertive, attacked back when he had to, and also didn't go into those 'run on sentences' he tends to do sometimes where people lose track of what he is talking about. He should re-watch that debate when he can and use it as a platform to improve even more in the future.
Seems people were right though, the less people in these damn things, the better Ron will do. So just imagine him Vs Romney or Obama
