Four hours ago I was saying to friends and family that I really wish Donald Trump would sit it out and let this thing run its course because I was convinced that there was no way Romney wasn’t going after Obama tonight on his chaotic foreign policy and especially Libya.
Right now? I am actually waiting on another Trump PR stunt to erase this entire joke of a night. Horses and bayonets.
Thy Will Not Mine Be Done.
Obama is finished and Romney was magnanimous.
If that isn’t the case then God himself has chosen against us
If Romney would have focused on Libya last night, it would have hurt him. The reason is obvious, there isn’t enough time to lay out timelines and get into specifics. Also, the Libya debacle is still in the process of being peeled back.
We all want to see Obama “get what is coming to him”. But in these debates with lefty moderators, a candidate runs the risk of getting cut off at the wrong moments.
Getting into the Libya issue, the way it needs to be debated, would have needed another entire debate.
Romney did a fine job of showing Obama as a petty little ankle biter. Yesterday, all the dems were wanting so much to paint Romney as a Bushlike warmonger and drag him into a Libya discussion where they could argue the facts by parsing words. I could tell this tact Romney took pissed Obama off. He didn’t get what he wanted.
The focus groups after were not really interested in the foreign polcy. They perked up when Romney got to China and the economy.
