I am sick and tired of this “oh, but he is such a good debater” line. He has had his chance in the past to be a great debater against people like John Kerry and he rolled over. Reagan had a disasterous debate against Mondale...so, was Walter the better debater? What about Bush? both Gore and Kerry were “better more polished” debaters and they both lost. So, this whole issue of “he is such a good debater” is horse caca. What he is is a snake oil salesman...and anyone who is a true conservative can see this about Newt.

Yes. A good used-car salesman, given some preparation, could be an excellent debater, but that wouldn't make him a good presidential candidate.

It is what the guy does after the debates, assuming he gets elected. That is when Gingrich gives rise to a huge question mark.
