Last Night at 9 pm on ABC Television I watched 6 Republicans Debate who is best to beat President Obama in the 2012 Presidential Election and become our next President. What I saw was a debate filled with put downs and silly little lies, that made no sense. The petty feuding and bickering between Republican Candidates is fun to watch at times. Gingrich attacks Romney, Romney fights back, Bachman kicks in, Paul referees and Santorum did the clean-up. lol. It really is a Republican Three Ring Circus at this point.
I hate to tell the Republicans this but, unless they start slimming down the choices and teach these candidates to act Presidential as well as speak Presidential and increase their knowledge levels Obama is gonna kick their asses!. It’s a total joke watching grown adult candidates kick each other around the stage verbally, just to make a point and get votes, at least they think they are. My opinion is simple this Republican Race for the Nomination is like a broken down horse race, the one that gets injured less will come in first. And the first one of the six remaining, who should leave the race and save his money and the bills he will accumulate is Rick Perry. This man looks strange, acts strange and sounds strange trying to convince America he should be President. He rants at times, speaks foolish and attacks the other candidates without any value or proof in what he says.
After last nights debate I found myself actually surprised by something I saw. 1) The surprisingly strong performance and knowledge level of Michele Bachman was refreshing and nice. She conducted herself well in her stance, look, and style of debating as well as having some very good statements and facts in hand.
I was disappointed in Mitt Romney not because he said something wrong, but because instead of sticking to the questions and keeping the answers short and sweet so to say, he attacked Gingrich and made himself look bad doing so.
Gingrich parried with Romney, Paul, Santorum and Bachman well enough, but again I was disappointed in the fact that he needed to, if he is the front-runner for the nomination.
Ron Paul stood pretty tall and answered most questions intelligently, but again I ran into bits and pieces where this man ranted some and then attacked the other candidates instead of staying above the fray so to say.
In the end did we really get the answers we wanted out of these six remaining Republican Candidates? I don’t think so, and I think each is hedging their bets and statements to try to fit the current environment of the race. I believe in the end, more than a few of these candidates will implode and destroy their own campaign, it will only be a matter of a short time.
Who is to get the Republican Nomination and take on President Obama in the 2012 election. Well, as I see it at this time, Gingrich does indeed have the lead and the polls show that as a fact, followed by Romney and then I believe we see Michele Bachman coming up fast, Ron Paul is chasing her. It is going to come down to a two person race, but who will stumble out first towards their demise? I believe Mitt Romney needs to do something now to slow down Gingrich, but, if Romney stumbles or makes some mistake Bachman will surpass him in the race. Last nights debate caused me to watch certain candidates closely, and they were Gingrich, Romney and surprisingly enough Michele Bachman. While the Romney, Gingrich spat continued and they fought with one another on many points, Michele Bachman acted correctly in standing back from the fray and refereeing and then giving great solutions. She impressed me as being a smart intelligent woman who could handle high office. But we all know the Republican Party will never allow a female to get the Nomination, the old style conservative bullshit will stop her.
No Front Runner really exists here in the Republican Nomination Race in my opinion. They all stumble, rant and rave at each other and sometimes act outright stupid on national television. Until, one of these individuals realizes they must stand above the fray and act like a President not a school child in the playground well, you get my drift!.
