Your logic doesn’t follow. Even if he is the strongest, that wouldn’t mean there was no room for improvement. And his performance today was pitiful for the reasons that I thoroughly explain. If you don’t think this is serious criticism, then I don’t know what you would consider serious.
I haven’t watched ‘’Meet the Press’’ in seven years. One of the last episodes I saw was in 2004 when Jim DeMint gave a similar poor performance; so bad it was, I thought he would lose the election for the Senate. I can see how Santorum failed in his response. It is hard to tell a politician’s true convictions from his canned responses to “routine” questions. It sounds as if Santorum’s poor response is akin to Michael Stanley Dukakis not catching on to the “rape” question posed by Bernard Shaw in 1988.
