Fred did not realize how much he would have benefitted from the many months of early (ridiculously early, IMHO) debates. He may have learned before the primaries started how to talk a little faster, to stop clearing his throat and to keep his hands off of his face.
I agree with his positions more than those of any other candidate and believe that he is a man of character. I worried about the lack of leadership that he demonstrated in the Senate Chinese funny-money hearings.
Sadly his years of seventeen takes to get a couple of sentences right on Law and Order did nothing to improve his ability to appeal to a one-take audience.

I’m with you on that. It would indeed be nice if we could have some long-format “Lincoln-Douglas”-style substantive debates but you run with the tactics they’re using.
I too, have not forgotten his somnambulistic performance on the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee during ChinaGate. I recall other conservatives noting this would eventually come back to bite him.
