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

[V3n]

This was the first time in the last 22 debates that I actually thought he should have.

 

[everlasticity]

I kept thinking the same thing. but it really isn't the right course of action, it wouldn't have sent the right message. Ron Paul did better to speak up for himself. He even got the last word in before a commercial break.

 

[falsinator]

No. On the rare occasions they let him speak, he should have called them out for ignoring him and ask what they are so afraid of.

 

[trey4sports]

nothing personal but that is pretty childish not mention something ron would never do.

 

[eleganz]

no more threads like this...PLEASE.....

 

[RickyJ]

No, you accept an invitation you stay. Unlike Gingrich, Ron Paul does not cancel campaign appearances at the last second just because only a few people showed up. Ron honors his commitments, while Gingrich doesn't know the meaning of the word honor.

Ron should bring a Newspaper

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".

Ron should have a newspaper or nail clipper in his pocket for those times when they ignore him. Or maybe start reorganizing his wallet.

Political Suicide, I was thinking he could say something like "Hey you know this isn't just about Newt and Romney here", just taking a jab at the moderators. But more than that would be negative in post debate coverage.

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.

Well, I'm another one who thinks it's a horrible idea. Just take a moment and think of how the media would spin such thing.

This was the first time in the last 22 debates that I actually thought he should have.

I think he should at least say something like, "Hey do I get fair time here too?". He NEEDS TO SPEAK UP AND DEMAND TIME.
A weak Paul will never win imo.

Walking out would just make him easier to ignore. He should carry a stopwatch to the next debate and make it obvious. Or use some poster board to answer questions that he wasn't asked. Just hold his answer up and see how the crowd reacts. lol

 

[hard@work]

He has spoken up before. I think he needs to stop being so precise on his response times. And request additional time to compensate the time granted to the others unfairly.

Lol. That would be epic. Not that I think he should do it but that would be damn funny.

 

[HypeFree]

I didn't watch the Tampa debate will watch the RP highlights, I hate how the crony media treats Dr. Ron Paul.

 

[jeremiahj13]

I thought Ron did very good at the debate

 

[pmbug]

Walk out? No.

Get assertive and speak out of turn? Yes

Speak on multiple topics when he gets the floor (regardless of what the moderator's question was)? Yes

 

[luctor-et-emergo]

He should bring a megaphone and threaten to use it if he's ignored or his mic isn't working.

"I brought my own sound system, as it so often appears to happen that the mic that is allocated to me malfunctions, and as with my foreign policy, I'm prepared."

That would be funny.

That would be funny.

 

[Moebedda]

No. But they do need to demand equal time.

+rep. Great idea. Just having the megaphone there will intimidate the MSM into paying more attention to him.
