Chris Hayes: Romney Disrespected the Rules of the Debate his Campaign Agreed To

[berni_mccoy]

Said Romney doesn't feel like the rules have ever applied to him. Not even 20 minutes into the debate, Romney started asking Obama direct questions. This is a clear violation of the agreement of the debate rules. Says the questions Romney asked did more damage to him in the end because Obama answered them well *and* Obama followed the rules to answer them. The fact Romney fought with Crowley and was called out by Crowley on his b.s. shows that Romney doesn't understand what it's like to live by the rules.

7. A woman telling Mitt what to do?

Of course he ignored the rules - they were made for normal folks, not people like him. Good on the moderator for reining him in.

Is the moment he realized he was fucked.
