“He didn’t “surrender”...he just said he wasn’t prepared yet to debate.”
He’s seen Obama in action for 2+ years, he’s the governor of IN and worked in the Bush White House. He’s decided he wants to run for President and has the support of many (albeit in the establishment), yet he can’t debate a community organizer who has never held a real job and has failed in ALL foreign relations decisions, except in existing in which he has followed to a T?
Saying he surrendered isn’t “hyperbolic” it’s diplomatic.
When you debate a socialist president (regardless of his low-life past) you are not just debating an individual. You are debating the entire far-left wing MSM and ivory-tower intellectual community.
Anything Daniels says will be jumped on like flies on honey and torn apart, parsed and twisted beyond recognition (kind of like some of Daniels' quotes). I don't blame him for not being quite ready, especially since he hasn't even announced for Pres...why would he be ready?
Daniels' conservative accomplishments as Governor are mitigated, yet 5-word statements are turned into soundbytes over and over again and the right eats it up. Ridiculous.
