What a coincidence! That's exactly what I looked like when I saw you say Mitt Romney won and Infinitum say Ron Paul won.

Meh. If you compare all of TIME's report cards, for both parties' candidates, for all the debates, then everyone but Paul out of the 6 still in the running (McCain, Huck, Romney, Paul, HRC, Obama) in fact has a "B" average (they've never given Paul higher than a "C+"). Hillary and Obama have received "C-" and "C+" before, McCain and Romney have received "A-" before, Huckabee's received "B+" before, etc.
Infinitum98 said:So then who do you think won the Republican debate? I'm just going to say, thats also how I looked like every time anyone said that McCain, Romney or Huckabee won the Republican debate. What a coincidence.

My point is that you have predicted Paul to win in every state so far, despite him clearly having no chance in those states, and have declared him the winner in almost every (if not all) debate. If you're not realistic, it makes it much harder to take your perspective seriously.
Diemen said:I think Paul's biggest problem in these debates is his delivery. Everything is said in an exasperated tone, and quite frankly, that ain't gonna win debates. What he says might be true, but if he sounds like a frustrated old man saying it, no one's going to pay attention.
Infinitum98 said:Well the reason he has won every single debate is because he speaks the truth about Iraq. You can't really win a debate if you use our soldiers to gain political popularity nor if you unconditionally back such a horrible war. So if someone else is anti-war in the debate, then it could be that they can also win. But since you think it is ridiculous for anyone to assume that Ron Paul won the last debate, who do you think won?

I don't think it's ridiculous for anyone to assume that Ron Paul won the last debate: I think it's ridiculous to believe that Paul is going to win every state when the primary comes up and to think he won every single debate.
phillyfan26 said:If you summarize every debate to one single issue, sure, Ron Paul won every debate.
But that's not how debates work.
Axver said:Winning a debate isn't about your positions though. It's about how you present them. It doesn't matter how right you are; if you're not persuading people, you're not winning.
