Wow -- I saw this poll before I watched the debate and was worried that he had bombed. Then I watched it, and he was GREAT. I gave him a 9, only because he was even better last week.
Ron shouldn't have accepted Baier's premise about Iran, which was that a peaceful approach was "left of Obama". He should have played his cards about non-interventionism being the policy of the old Republican party.
9 in the first half. 2 in the second half. I averaged it out to 5. Accepting Brett Baier's premise was a big mistake. He's got a ton of great foreign policy talking points. He missed most of them completely and the others came way too late - but at least they came.
