Jon Stewart: Romney Leads From Behind, ‘Follow me, I’ll be right behind the President’

Jon Stewart: Romney Leads From Behind, ‘Follow me, I’ll be right behind the President’

Jon Stewart leveled Mitt Romney with a devastating critique of his debate performance. Stewart described Romney on foreign policy as, ‘Follow me, I’ll be right behind the President’

............................................

The Romney campaign has long suffered from a delusional hubris that has caused them to act like they are winning when they are really losing. Romney’s third debate strategy was that of a candidate who thinks he has this election in the bag. He acted like he had this thing won when the reality is that he is still losing or tied in all of the battleground states.

If Mitt Romney thinks Barack Obama’s foreign policy is so great, why wouldn’t voters cut out the middle man and support Obama?

Jon Stewart was right. The third debate was total role reversal from the two candidates’ first encounter in Denver. The Daily Show host’s argument leads one to the conclusion that unlike Obama, Mitt Romney really did lead behind in the foreign policy debate.
