Before you take an exit, or are shown the door, here's something for your (re)edification, on what it takes to win debates, primaries and presidential elections. Clue: It ain't RINO "composure."

---

The Ronald Reagan's "Nashua Moment" during a 1980 GOP debate: He defied the media. He agitated the crowd. Many, in both parties and the media, called it unpresidential. But enough American thought otherwise and gave him the Presidency over Jimmy Carter, by a landslide margin of 440 electoral college votes.

Re: The Gipper's "I'm paying for this microphone moment" in 1980:

In the YourTube video graciously provided by DrPix, notice who ends up heartily applauding Reagan's smackdown of that bozo Breen, i.e., John Anderson, Howard Baker, Bob Dole and Phil Crane, but conspicuously silent like a deer in the headlights is George H.W. Bush, aka 'Poppy RINO', who didn't know whether to crap or get off the pot.

The same Poppy RINO supporting Romney today.

And that audience wasn't ABOUT to be shut up or cowed by some media chowderhead.
