I’ve got no interest in winners being chosen by applause meter.

Maybe the audience is applauding what they like.

If it was just all phony then they would be applauding everything.

If mitt and rick said anything great they would get the applauses.

“I’ve got no interest in winners being chosen by applause meter.”

Then, obviously, you have no interest in most of the elections that have ever occurred in this country, for better or worse...

Cheering is what we do in this Country if we approve, you can still vote for who you want.

"I’ve got no interest in winners being chosen by applause meter."

Then you can return to belatedly trusting the talking heads about the audience response to the debaters. I'd prefer to see and hear the real thing in real time.

“I’ve got no interest in winners being chosen by applause meter.”

The problem Newt faces is that he needs the audience to control the moderator. When Mitt levels 8-10 charges, and the moderator gives Newt 30 seconds to respond, there is no reason to bother.

I don’t think Newt would have any problem with a series of 15 min exchanges. What he cannot afford is a moderator who allows Mitt 3 minutes uninterrupted, and then gives Newt 30 seconds.
