Oh, Ted would fight back if Trump wasn’t taking them out. This is what he means by the Trump campaign helping his - Trump does the bomb throwing, while Ted sits back and acts innocent. I’m just saying that Ted didn’t even fight for time in the last debate. Others jumped in - not him, he just stood there and took it. That really bothers me. He takes on Congress - only because he wants to enhance his reputation as someone who stands up to the Washington Cartel. Funny thing is - he is tied to DC by being a sitting Senator. He had no problem calling McConnell a liar, but, if he hadn’t believed him over his aides - that wouldn’t have been necessary either. He was duped.
Yes, Ted wasn’t as assertive in the early debates as I would have liked, but they were designed to be a “food fight” and that forum didn’t play to his strengths.
I have watched him for a while now (been to three stump speeches in NH) and I think he is getting better. I think Ted will be one of the final four and I believe he will shine in the debate venue with fewer people on the stage.
