Where are Paul's advisers?

[Back In Black]

Paul's getting wrecked on foreign policy tonight. These are all old questions. Are Paul's advisers, or anyone for that matter letting him know he needs to strengthen his answers? It just seems that if they know these questions are coming, why not have clear answers prepared? Even with the audience being as fucked up as they are, I believe they would have booed less had Paul responded clearly with strong and condensed answers.

They need to fix this FAST!

No, 60% of SC is full of warmongers, it wouldn't have mattered what Ron Paul said to them.

Not the best answer, but Ron didn't shoot his foot off or anything. The good thing is, maybe this debate will cause him to listen to advice.

While I agree he could "tweak" his foreign policy answer for conservative voters, I was wondering if he listened to anyone regarding his answer on the drug war. He said we need to address the drug war, but never said to legalize drugs, which I thought was interesting.

How long can it take? The one thing turning voters off from Paul is his foreign policy. It's common sense to get a handle on that shit already.

America is like an irrational child and has been since 9-11. It may be that the temper tantrum has to subside. Rational arguments have no impact on kids in the midst of a tantrum. More than half of America has done their crying and is ready to move on while thinking rationally (non-interventionism, a golden-rule foreign policy). Hopefully the tantrum for the rest ends in time.

I'm very disappointed in this performance. Some of these questions have been asked before and Ron Paul had a hard time answering these questions without stuttering or skipping words. His advisers seriously need to prepare him for the next debate by answering the questions in a clear and concise manner.

No, Ron had a sub-par evening. He was off his game tonight.

Ron's answers were great, and he defended them well. Here are his advisers:

I'm all for blaming war-mongering neocons, but Paul did not defend his case well.

Why is it members of Paul's team can defend his foreign policy better than he can?

 

[CaptainAmerica]

he needs to say "Obama sent soldiers into Pakistan a nuclear armed nation,and by doing so he jeopardized peace and could have started nuclear warfare by committing an act of war inside of a nation we have not declared war on.

Do you expect his advisers to stack the audience with supporters?

Stop blaming the audience. Were they a bunch of rowdy pricks? Yes, but they didn't put words into his mouth. He had the opportunity to explain his policies.

I'm sorry, but I beg to differ. There are very simple things RP could say, that wouldn't change his message, that would make him appear a lot stronger.

Don't hold your breath. Millions spent on ads, and apparently none on a debate coach (or staff) that talk with him/rehearse as they travel around. If they do, there are some serious issues going on...

I love Ron Paul as much as anybody but his delivery is flawed and it's an issue that needs to be addressed.

 

[Student Of Paulism]

It's so pathetic listening to Newt say what he did about Andrew Jackson. It didnt even make any fucking sense. Uhh, THE BRITISH WERE HERE!!! HELLO? THEY WERE ALREADY OCCUPYING US. What does that have to do with us being over in some other country and violating their sovereignty and bullying them around to get our way in some 'staged' attack that took 10 years? Pfff..

Anyway, Yea, this was definitely not a good night for Ron, got booed badly, but hey, at least Romney did too on NDAA....misery loves company --works for me and doesnt sting as much :-/

Yea, its too bad. If he spoke like Rand, he would be owning all of them. Honestly, i dont think i ever heard Rand stammer or botch a single question.

 

[rbohlig]

Unfortunately, Ron didn't do a good job on the very biased question. He has to consider the audience he is talking to and craft his message to them. This does not mean change his policies, but instead of talking about Pakistan's sovereignty he should mention the head of the CIA Bin Laden unit endorsed him, I love the guy but he did not help his cause tonight. Needs a better one on Thursday for sure!

Please Dr. Paul, call me and let's smooth out these answers!

This is like blaming the refs when your quarterback throws 3 interceptions.

His foreign policy is not that far off.
90% of it is good.
To change something now, will only make him look like a flip-flopper and do more damage than good.
