voted A but even if i wasn't bias. I would give him an A , now for the bottom line. looking at this 4 way race, Ron Paul Wins the gop nomination in Tampa or earlier as each primary exposes them all as status quo except for Ron Paul. I repeat myself it basically is a 2 way race Ron Paul vs Status Quo(newt,romney,santorum) . We can Win this before the convention to. We place top 3 in sc/fl and then start winning states. We can win this early or at the convention.
 
How would I grade his performance has an absolute? B, he did really well, didn't let Gingrich run away with it which was AMAZING, but his delivery will always be his weakest link, like not mentioning how he's tied with Obama! And me made me cringe 1 or 2 times in the middle.

How was his performance compared to all his other debates? A+, His best. Period. He's getting better with every debate! Compare how he's doing now to how he did in the first debates, amazing.
 
I don't see how anyone can say he did worse than a B... and anyone who thinks he did worse than a C is crazy.

He WON the debate. WON it. The others looked like idiots the whole night. They attacked each other like children. Ron just stood by and answered the questions, and he answered them extremely well.
 
I'm usually more critical of his performances than the RPF crowd. But tonight he did an A+ job. I think the crowd knew he was the only true critic of SOPA. The others have been changing their tune really fast. God thank that crowd for bringing Paul back into the abortion discussion. John King was horrible, but no surprise there. Crossing my fingers he surprises to the upside on Saturday. Bringing troops home to defend our border rather than Afgan/Pakistan border one the crowd. He started getting the point across that we can't have both guns and butter. We can have two, but not three, out of wars, social security, and low inflation. He's getting closer to making that clear and he's the only one presenting a hopeful future for the elderly.
 
He didn't get any time. Paul should drop out and go third party. Who cares if Obama gets re-elected. A GOP alternative would be the same dumb shit.
 
I told my dad that he won the debate even to the viewpoint of the mainstream media. I graded Ron Paul an A for his performance very good answers and very good crowd response. I loved when Ron interrupted the moderator on some issues like hey i'm the only doctor on stage and you skip me over these very important issues regarding medicine LOL.

Solid B+, no real mess up, some really good moments. Nothing epic but still came off reasonably well.
 
hahahah I got 2 guys to talk paul over coffee with me this week :P They want to know more before the FL primary :D :D
 
A+

Best debate this cycle. I thought his Bloomberg debate performance was in the A range as well.
 
I voted B. I think I'm being bit generous with that, but I admired the way he stuck up for himself more tonight. I actually think King did a much better job as moderator than Baier at Fox, though he still gave too much time for back and forth between Romney and Newt.

Anyway, that last answer was Dr. Paul's chance to really summarize why he's the best candidate and he didn't quite do that, which is why I can't give him an A. My son, who is objective in the sense he doesn't have a favorite yet, thought Santorum did a better job of laying out why he should be the nominee and I can't really argue with that. Rick appeals to voters much more on emotion than the others do, and that resonates with a lot of people. Dr. Paul tries the more logical approach, which is fine, but can be lacking when you really want that solid auditory punch to seal the deal.


I'm actually glad that Santorum did well in the debate, because even though I want Paul to finish ahead of him, I think he may draw more votes away from the other two than Paul, and give it a chance to be closer. We'll see.
 
Lot's of home runs I give an A. Best debate I've seen of his.

Wish he would tout his Sanctity of life bill when questioned on his abortion credentials. Only piece of legislation that would end it immediately. Never gets supported even by conservatives.

You know I keep thinking and wondering if Santorum and or Gingrich were in the Senate or House when that bill came up and how they voted for it?

That's the issue, I don't think it ever made it out for an actual vote. Stayed in committee, and never made it further.
 
I voted A with reservations. I almost abstained because he was almost non existent. The audience had to FORCE King to ask Ron Paul a question. How they keep getting away with this blackout is beyond me. He's not even mentioned on any of the after debate shows. They just don't even mention him.
But I am glad he owned Santorum and made him look like the jerkoff that he is.
 
This was MUCH better than the last debate I'm sure his PR guys told him to REALLY BEEF UP his Veteran status / Air Force service there in SC. I'm sure it played well, GOOD JOB TEAM! I would say his last statement, final comment didn't really connect with the common man. He needs to work on that and say something people can directly connect with not philosophy.
 
Last debate was a C. I watch every debate, and there's no question this was an A performance. That one ABC debate was a flawless A+, but I'd say this was his second best debate to date.
