He actually held up pretty well against McCain, but that’s no surprise. His performances against Hillary in the primaries were well “managed” as well.

If Perry is the nominee, he will sink under the media pressure, that is a guarantee. Thankfully, the electorate knows this, and that is why he is dropping like a stone after all these debates.

John McCain is a skillful politician and is gregarious and in personal conversation he is outgoing and enjoyable to talk to. But he is one of the least intelligent people ever to be a nominee for President of a major party. He had difficulty getting through the Naval Academy and through flight school and graduated from both out of deference to his father and grandfather. He was a poorer student, graduating far lower in his class than Governor Perry, whose mediocre grades in animal science at Texas A & M have been much mentioned. However, Governor Perry did get a degree in science whereas John McCain had great difficulty with science and math courses. Also Governor Perry did not have the difficulty that John McCain did in getting through flight school and never crashed a plane as John McCain did more than once. John McCain has never, as far as I know, shown any skill in debating. If I am wrong feel free to point out an example.

John McCain performed well as a supply officer, which is to say he was good at getting stuff for his guys within the politics of the Navy. He was good as a congressional liason where political skill of his sort is an asset. His executive experience that he touted during his campaign was based on what he referred to as commanding the largest air squadron in the navy but precisely because it is such a large squadron and has been for a long time it has a well developed management cadre and did not require any management skill from him to keep on running as it had been running for quite a while.

Hillary Clinton won more primaries after debating the One than she did before debating him. Can you name a debate between her the One where she was outdone? Again, can you name an example where the One showed actual skill in a debate?
