“The cringe-worthiest moment, by a hair, was when Perry botched what should have been his most potent attack on Mitt Romney’s chronic flip-flopping.”
Romney’s response? “Nice try.”
ouch.
Romney’s response? “Nice try.” ouch.
Remember the great 1984 Mondale debate line, "Where's the beef"?
Since then, Mondale's debate coach has written that Mondale had never seen the Wendy's commercial and had no idea what the line was about. After explaining it, the debate coach had Mondale practice and practice the line, with comical results in the beginning. After enough practice, Mondale was sent to the next debate with the line that somebody else came up with to pretend to be clever on his feet when the opportunity next arrived.
It worked because Mondale got the most laughs.
It seems that America is choosing Presidents based upon how well they can act like trained monkeys on a stage.
