It's about 4 weeks before the first debate and RMoney is taking a week off to prepare for the debate. Has any candidate ever taken so much time off (and so early) just to prepare? Does that show that he's either unqualified or just plain lazy?
He's been running for President for over four years now and has held no other job. You'd think he'd be ready to debate.
The Repubic party makes fun of Obama playing golf. Why does RMoney take this much time off? Lazy, entitled, needy or just stupid?
He has appeared on Fox and other Repubic friendly talk shows and responds only to softball questioning. What is he hiding from?

(14,624 posts)to date he has only responded to softball questions. No matter who moderates, he won't get away with that in the debates.

Yeah, I think he's a lazy, "entitled", bully, much like GWB*.

And then he lost that.

(32,648 posts)I'm not sure if it's a sense of entitlement, some dad issues, or if Anne is forcing him to run, but this man isn't running for the right reasons.

(1,186 posts)All his life he let his surrogates do the heavy work.
The last thing he did himself was to cut that kid's hair in boarding school. Even then, he had to have help in holding the kid down.
formercia
(18,479 posts)there was no fact-checking, dissent or argument. No proof necessary. Now he has to deal with the facts. He just can't get his brain around that.
This is why the 'Founding Fathers' chiseled the separation of Church and State into Stone. It was to protect the Nation from people just like Mitt.

(6,163 posts)For one, he does not want to take a stand on any issue. None. It has been this way all along.
Second, I think he resents being questioned.....about anything. His ego doesn't like it.
Using an excuse such as prepping for the debates allows him to be out of reach and away from reporters.
I would bet he will be releasing statements to select media (Faux), but it will only be statements.
He is such a coward.
