I'll bet you $10,000* he fails at both.
Empathy and comedic timing cannot be learned at "debate camp".
*I don't have $10,000.

(3,960 posts)He needs to bump up his likability numbers. I don't expect to see him snarl and hiss too much. I hope I'm wrong and his true prick nature comes out to bite himself in the ass.

(28,876 posts)I'm looking forward to seeing Romney try, but I don't think he'll succeed.

(24,411 posts)...because Romney has spent his entire life avoiding any show of empathy. In fact, at Bain, it was his job to have absolutely no empathy and to view employees as objects to be fired for monetary gain. Rombey turned human suffering into millions in his pockets.
Everyone will see through it.

(6,929 posts)Zingers? Really? If I were a Romney fan, I would be insulted. As it is, the sooner his candidacy is in the dust bin of history, the happier I will be.
