No wonder so many Republicans are looking for another
candidate.
Mitt Romney came in as the presumed GOP leader before tonight’s debate and no one laid a glove on him. That makes him the winner of the event. For the most part the CNBC questioners stayed on topic. Questioning of Herman Cain’s character was not appropriate at this event and the questions were appropriately booed by the audience.
Rick Perry’s inability to remember his basic theme of three governmental agencies he would eliminate was such a bad stumble that he may no longer be a viable candidate.
Rick Santorum’s call for no income tax for manufacturing companies was not adequately discussed.
The willingness of all the candidates to allow the failing
of European nations and particularly Italy showed me a lack of understanding of the interconnectivity of the things that can
impact the United States.
The discussion surrounding China showed a lack of understanding of that nation. China, after all, is the world’s second largest economy. They are a major exporter to the United States and are a major holder of our federal debt.
The lack of a solution to help fund college education showed a complete disconnect with the American public.
Which one of these candidates will be able to stand up to Barack Obama in presidential debates? I have not heard one yet.
