I have NEVER, heard Paul speak so fluently and coherently

[Rintrah54]

He is absolutely captivating tonight. I really mean it. Captivating is the perfect word.

He just has an air about him tonight.

 

[paulgeek]

I still think he got some debate coaching. He definitely rehearsed.

 

[true_american_patriot]

Yeah, he's getting angry and responding the way he should be responding to these idiot neo-cons.

 

[yongrel]

He's owning.

 

[Doriath]

So far, a good night.

Well talking points always help. That thing that perks peoples ears up. When you learn to use those again and again you'll do well.

 

[AtomiC]

I believe he needs to try and communicate better to the average American.

The ideas he brings up probably go right over the head of most average people.

 

[barbz]

I don't see how this could be going any better.

 

[durden0]

I think he's done well, though he still needs to find a way to get across his message on the economy in a more fluid fashion.

 

[Malakai0]

Not talking to people like children or fools is what is appealing about Dr Paul early on. If he dumb's it down he'd become what he hates hehe

 

[mongoose]

That is one of the reasons I like him so much, he doesn't speak in USA Today sound bytes. Not the same bullshit I have heard for the last 30 years. He has a point and doesn't make empty blanket statements.

 

[PledgeForPaul]

clearly the smoothest so far. He had the Israel answer well prepared.

 

[Lucid American]

I think his statement on the Iranian confrontation that happened a few days ago was bold and true, but the way it was framed in the debate really made him look bad, I think.

He's done great in other areas. Watching by myself, I applauded when he called down the moderators for throwing that 9/11 garbage out there and trying to alienate him in the debate.

I thought his answer on the boats was smokin hot. He was all "Look, those guys were out there in paddleboats.......and they're gonna do what? Even the commander of the ship had doubts."

I think Faux News thought they'd be able to run over Paul in this debate and eliminate him. Unfortunately for them, Paul has shed that shy debating manner and unleashed intelligent, tactical and forceful strikes (Ironic...think about it). I think they are trying to divert from him, so he doesn't make them look stupid anymore.

 

[Eponym_mi]

RP needs to use a deeper voice...not whiny.

Campaign staff is not prepping him for these debates well enough. RP needs to work with a pro to improve his communication skills.

 

[Andrew-Austin]

Was he speaking from his chest instead of from his throat?

 

[moose]

Someone needs to put the debate on youtube. I can't stomach watching the other Republicans spew their propaganda. I don't mind reading it to see what the believe, but there is no way I'm sitting through an hour of mindless talking points.

 

[SimpleName]

He barely misses a word and has a bit more anger in his voice like the rest of the candidates. His fierce tone was a necessity for the "tough guy" Republicans to understand.

 

[RoyalTenenbaum]

A lot of times, I am a little nervous when it comes to Paul. Tonight, I can't wait for his to have his turn.

He's knocking it out of the park!
