2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumIt doesn't matter if Romney lied
Obama came off as stiff, hesitant and even remote and uninterested. For once Romney came off as confident and in command. This resonated with those who watched and why Romney is up in the polls today.
I was frustrated and yes I was swearing at the tv. Did we really come this far for the Obama campaign to throw it all away?
Tell me I am wrong................ please.

(362 posts)When Obama listens to the lies and doesn't confront them, listeners assume there was no lie. And Romney had said ahead of time that Obama would lie, so Romney deserved a strong response on virtually every issue he talked about.
I was disgusted. This could lose it for Obama.

(367 posts)that Romney kept saying basically the same lies over and over. By the end of the debate I couldn't tell if it was Romney or if it was just a Head On commercial

(11,229 posts)The debate flash polls don't say anything about who people will be voting for.
Wait a week or so for polls to tell us the impact of the debate.

(1,596 posts)will look different when Romney is seriously fact checked by the NYT's and other newspapers.
When finally people find out what a liar he is.

(15,189 posts)Aren't going to go Rmoney's way. This was his moment in the sun. His time to hang himself with all the lies he's been telling. By the time we get to the other debates, this one will be just a faint memory.

(82,383 posts)Confident and in command? No way. And it does matter if he lies. People aren't that low info. If they are that low info they won't be able to figure out how to register or where the poll is.
