Rand, hear me out

During the debates you need to not be looking down and crossing things off your clipboard when the camera is on you. I notice you especially do this when another candidate is talking about you and it's split screen. No one else does it but you.

...I'm sure he's reading this forum right now. And that no one else pays attention to whether a candidate is crossing something off of a clipboard.

He was probably coached to do this, since he was seen as petulant (with the eye rolls and the frowning) in the last debate.

Because I have a very low opinion of humanity in the sense that they are more influenced by just about everything else than substance. If you have something to sell, you have to take advantage of human nature and just about everything that influences people's brains. And I think the science says a lot of non-substantive things influence people's brains.

Because everyone needs to have an opinion on something and make people believe they're experts...they're idiots.

I suppose looking at the moderators and courteously paying attention to the other candidates would have been too much.

lol, has the OP thought that maybe they are purposely panning to him when he is doing it and he has no control over when they pan to him?
