Yesterday, I was trying to find posts about his one-on-one with Kraut and the others yesterday. He did answer all the questions but I thought some of the responses weren’t clear. Did he do a good enough job?
That was not an easy crowd for Herman.

———Did he do a good enough job?——

I guess time will tell. My assessment is like yours.

I think he was thinking when he was rambling.

It was a tough crowd. Charles made it tough so it would be tough and not pandering. I would not do nearly as well.

I thought his answer to Charles re: the 9% Federal Sales Tax being added onto a state sales tax was confusing at best. He needs sit down with his advisers and come up with a clear answer and then commit it to memory because that question is going to come up repeatedly.

BTW, this was the same basic question he got from Romney at the last debate (he bungled that one also...responding with the apples and oranges retort).

If his plan replaces some hidden Federal taxes buried in the retail price of a product such that the end result is a lower overall tax, he needs to say so clearly and concisely.
