Do what he almost did - what he started to do - which was simply to ignore them and move against Obama. He almost did that. And he answered the sugar cane question and should have ridiculed that question too.
In short, they all let Brian Williams and those stupid locals run roughshod over them. I thought it was embarrassing. Santorum had a good night but that’s because he was given softballs all night when he wasn’t ignored.
Frankly, I watched some of the commentators from NBC covering the debate (which I didn’t see) and they were surprisingly fair. They said that Mitt did not help himself tonight, that he was not connecting. They gave Newt points for keeping his cool and staying “above” it all. Said Newt was more presidential. I know that they probably were being kind about Newt because they think he can’t win against the “won”, but it gave me a good overview of how the debate went.
