Let's face it, people RP is NOT a great speaker. He is novel, in a way and (in a sort of visceral way convincing) but can easily be attacked and humiliated. To NON-RP supporters (who are precisely who we need to convert), he's not persuasive tonight. He needs (if he gets another chance to debate) to get a serious debating partner, tone down the anger, and incorporate (GASP) some rhetorical techniques into his presentation.
It's not easy when thousands are out to get you- but it's the only way to excel at this point.
I'm not saying he should be inauthentic or change his policies- he just needs to find a way to present his approach in a manner that appeals to a broader audience than 20 somethings with college degrees or techies with 130+ IQs. That's democracy.
My dream would be a third party candidacy where he trains for several months before some summer debates- Rocky style.
Rule #1 of public speaking, never say "I don't know" even if you don't know.
The other people in the MSM need to call FOX out.
We HAVE to go after Fox News!!! This was a masacre attempt!!!
