Should Ron threaten to WALK OUT OF THE DEBATE???

[SurfsUp]

Should Ron just take off his microphone and threaten to walk out. "AM I GOING TO GET ANY QUESTIONS??? YOU CALL THIS A DEBATE???" All the while laughing and disgusted like it's a joke(Ron does this well, like with the santorum thing).

Maybe msdnc would start to pay attention

EDIT: this was posted before he was really getting any questions. Though I think it's an important topic for future msm "debates".

Horrible idea.

Ron seems to be speaking much clearer than usual...he is hitting the point of things and then stopping instead of getting long winded...its a good job.

He'll just be seen as a cranky old man.

Just walking out would be better than threatening to do so. But probably still not a good idea. Now, if he and Santorum coordinated and did it together, you'd have something.

I don't think it's such a "horrible idea" like some fool stated. I think it would make an important POINT about how corrupt the debates and media control are so far.

I think he should do it if this sort of ignoring him crap keeps happening. Florida would be the perfect state to do it in. The other states he needs to be their pretty much no matter what.

HELL NO! What, and miss the chance to say he's sick of Romney's and Gingrich's isolationism and prefers talking to people?

Hell NO!

Naw. The way to handle it is like it was handled at the last debate where the moderator was going to skip asking Ron an abortion question and the crowd booed the moderator. We need to be in force at every debate.

Ron Paul has gotten the biggest applause of the night. Why would he walk out?

 

[unknown]

I just got on, how are we doing?

 

[kylejack]

Future debate invites could be canceled and we need them, so no. Better to condemn NBC with a press release and interviews.

 

[acptulsa]

Why not stand there and listen to Romney rip up Gingrich? Especially when neither of them can boast a private sector career wherein were delivered four thousand babies.

Besides, he has gotten lots more air time than Santorum so far.

This thread was posted before he finally got a decent question and was ignored for eons.

Though I do think that at least threatening to leave in a future debate, if fair time isn't givin, should definitely take place because it would put the media in their place at that very moment. Similar to what happened with Cnn and newt. No one likes an unfair media. I think this tactic would work.

Stop thinking of them as debates and start thinking of them like MSM funded ads designed to support their desired candidate.

I agree with this. They're not even debates. Debates are when candidates discuss certain issues. These "debates" have handpicked issues for each candidate, where only a handful, if any others, get to respond to the issue asked. I.E Asking Ron Paul about irrelevant newsletters is not a presidential debate question.

He needs to call the moderator out about the ping-pong pattern of questions between Mitt & Newt is unfair. For the electability question Ron should have mentioned that Santorum & Gingrich are not electable because they won't have access to over 500 delegates because they're not on the ballot. He is the only one that can get enough independents & democrats to beat Obama.

 

[JJ2]

Even Santorum is getting way more time.

 

[FreeTraveler]

Hell, no. They're tearing each other to pieces, then Ron swoops in with a truth bomb. You should be following twitter. He's the only one trending on twitter.

 

[Highstreet]

HELL NO! What, and miss the chance to say he's sick of Romney's and Gingrich's isolationism and prefers talking to people?

Hell NO!

Exactly.

He just needs to start interjecting himself more and commenting on the lack of their record to follow thru with the "conservative" words coming out of their mouths.

Why would he walk on a great debate for him. He did wonderfully and Gingrich and Romney ripped each other to shreds.
