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?

LOL. I don’t make it a point to watch liberals arguing with each other. But the “one” is and will be continues to be touted by the media as a good communicator, despite the fact that he is addicted to teleprompters.

Perry just isn’t going to be able to compete. We’ve seen him implode time and time again when he gets nervous. That is not an attribute of someone that will have to deal with a hostile media, and hostile foreign heads on a regular basis.
