End of Round 1:
Diane Sawyer completes the round by pimping Romney.
She claims only he answered (when in fact he lied and avoided the direct answer).
Round 2:
Democrat/RomneyBOT Diane Sawyer: “What about the Payroll Tax Cut?”
Michele Bachmann “Extension should not have been there in the first place. .... It is an Obama gimmick.”
Sawyer puts down Bachmann and gives a lead to Romney (again).
Mitt Romney: Changes topic to discuss unemployment (ignored by Sawyer). Talks about ‘bandaids’.
Changes topic to investment in America (ignored by the swooning Sawyer).
Stephanopoulos interrupts and with audicity answers the question for everyone else.
Will not let anyone else answer now that Romnety was given time and lauding.
Rick Santorum interrupts and explains his position for a tax cut that works.
Ron Paul: Changes topic to war in Iraq and contractors (ignored by Sawyer).
Stephanopoulos closes it out, only and Bachmann Romney weres allowed to answer in Round 2.
Stephanopoulos then allows Romney to talk about his conservatism.
Only Romney.
Conclusion: This is an overtly fixed “debate” set up for Romney.
Thanks for the summaries.
Late to the show...thanks for the recap :)
