Grade Ron's Debate Preformance

[nedomedo]

Ron Paul always gets an A+++++ from me, no matter what. How can he get a lesser grade when he is the only one telling the truth?

 

[Tyler_Durden]

Glad he came out of the gate clarifying the Delegates count....

 

[sunghoko]

He did the best he could with the limited amount of time and questions given to him. He didn't knock anything out of the park but I love the way he turned the tables on isolationism.

 

[COpatriot]

B+

Didn't get caught rambling. Got a lot of stupid, crappy questions and they let Romney and Gingrich whine at each other most of the time, but his performance was more than satisfactory tonight.

 

[TheTexan]

B+

Wish he would differentiate better why Ron is the only Great American fiscal conservative and the others support bank bailouts, Medicare part D which is a 7 trillion dollar libability etc.

Santorum voted to raise debt ceiling 5 times, Newt 4.

He is too nice.

Wish he would explain how he has been fiscally conservative for decades

Ya. He really needs to start calling out the others on their BS. It's the only way he can distinguish himself.

 

[Pyyro]

I think it's evident that he's improving and is consistent in the debates. B+

This is essential.

He can be a gentleman about it, but he needs to explain the source of inflation is monetizing debt to pay for wars and things like Medicare Part D that Newt so fervently defended tonight.

We all pay for the cost of government, I don't think people get this very well but could be wrong

 

[HOLLYWOOD]

Handled the 3rd party bullshit horrible. Ron could of had his Newt South Carolina moment and blew it... fumbling over words, poor speaking skills, carrying on in a rush, getting ahead of himself. Makes him look senile. he can't debate like 2007-8 or before.

He redeemed himself through the other awful NBC questioning, but it's Establishment 101 gaming. Ron cannot to see that NBC immediately wants to create doubt and question in Ron Paul leadership/fight/energy/debate skills to the viewing audiences to form their opinions immediately up front. Like taking Oxycotin Candy from a Baby. Ron could of slam-dunked that bitch Brian Williams, but chose to ramble on and play right into the CFR hacks trap.

example "just knock off the 3rd party nonsense once and for all... ask a question pertinent to what the people want to discuss, not your Obama executives @ 30 Rockefeller Center."

 

[brendan.orourke]

C-

He just can't debate, these guys are running circles around him.

 

[vita3]

He had a very solid performance.

 

[Muwahid]

Someone always has to grade F for no reason.

 

[unknown]

Ron is not running to win....just understand that. Read between the lines.

What do you base this on?

 

[mport1]

Gave him an A- If he would just once say he would nuke anyone with congress approval if they were a threat to the US or to US trade, I would be so happy.

If he said this, he would lose my and probably a lot of other support. Just because Congress wants to nuke somebody, it doesn't mean we should.

 

[Standing Liberty]

-A He was the most interesting one to listen too and got good points across with the little time he had. However, he can use alittle more fire. But the debate was just dull.

example "just knock off the 3rd party nonsense and ask a question pretenent to what the people want to discuss, not your executives @ 30 Rockefeller Center."

And he has been asked this probably hundreds of times. How can he not have a home run answer prepared?

 

[Highstreet]

Ya. He really needs to start calling out the others on their BS. It's the only way he can distinguish himself.

Yea, he knows why their policies are incorrect or why we can't trust them to implement them, but he doesn't consistently remind people of that.

 

[moonshine5757]

A- glad he went at newt, but newt shooed away from a battle very smoothly. ugh. and would've scored higher if he would jump on the bandwagon and smash romney. the dude is at his weakest it's about time to unleash the dogs upon that fake conservative. and if i have to hear about the olympics one more time i'm gonna throw up. can someone put him in his place on that matter?

 

[Muwahid]

Same. Nukes are evil, the congress decides when to war, not how to war anyway.

 

[GunnyFreedom]

B+ had awful questions. Would have been an A if he snuck in either "declare war, go and win it decisively, and come home" or "will not cut one dime from Social Security benefits for people now over 30" and would have been A+ if he snuck in both. They gave him crap questions and he did the best anybody can ask of anybody with the crap they gave him.

 

[jacmicwag]

Solid. Some very strong points differentiating himself on Cuba and Iran (and done without appearing weak). I'm glad he does not pander to the anti-Castro vote. If the local Florida Cubans want democracy, take a boat back and fight for it. Good humor tonight saying he has some work to do getting the other candidates to come around to his point of view. No idea how this thing will affect his popularity but he was true to himself and got his points across clearly (at least in RP terms).
