I think Perry just needed to “not lose.” He’s still standing and didn’t back down. He has a lot of work to do to prepare for what’s coming in his direction in the near future.
Read earlier today Perry doesn’t like debates much...hasn’t done many for the years he’s served. So hh’s going to have to ramp it up even more I think. But you could see he was tired from handling the Texas fires. Gotta give him credit for that IMO.
Well since everyone is giving final impressions.
Paul did badly. No one noticed Santorum was on stage most of the time. Newt had the biggest applause but he doesn’t have a shot at the nomination.
Bachmann gave stock answer the first half of the debate and only livened up in the second half.
Cain was good.
Romney was good PERFORMANCE wise but some of his answers on issue are dealbreakers along with Huntsman. I don’t care how good they talk, I hate what is coming from their mouth.
Perry started strong, had a weak spell in the middle, finished strong. They didn’t knock him out. Certainly held his own against well...everyone. He was tonight’s pinata.
