Not only did his show a complete lack of regard for the rules he agreed to, he showed a complete lack of respect for POTUS being completely and obviously rude and, yes, bullying and confrontational in a bizarre way...completely disregarding or respecting the moderator's role, even despite very direct instruction, when he ignored time and still didn't answer the questions.
He's simply a hot mess. I was wondering just how far he was capable of going, of course he knew millions were watching. Let's also remember, this is after weeks of training on how to appear and act in front of the camera.
He's just a grown man who never outgrew his bullying style. What a phoney, lies, lies, lies...does he even know what he supports? Does he support one thing? Anything?

(58,364 posts)The same bullying Romney that held that boy down in college to have his hair cut off shouldn't be in the most powerful job in the land.
From his debate demeanor and actions last night I believe fundamentally he's still the same Willard Romney; he hasn't grown or matured.
He was totally disrespectful of the debate process, the Presidency, the moderator and women in general.
Thanks for the thread, mother earth.

(6,002 posts)He's a disaster and ready for war at every turn.
The haircut incident did come to mind last night, along with the poor dog on the roof incident. He certainly seems to lack empathy, unless you are wealthy, he worries about those Bush tax cuts incessantly.

and how threatening he could be to the wrong people.

Rmoney would have blathered on anyway (the rude and overbearing do this) ... but Obama positioned himself in a way that had him permitting Rmoney to proceed!

(35,340 posts)nearly told the POTUS to sit down and shut up. Can you imagine if the the tables were turned and Romney was President and Obama was the challenger. The Righties would be going crazy
over how he showed no respect for the POTUS.

(6,002 posts)it were reversed they'd be screaming about it. I think we should be. This is our president. This is not someone you order about in front of the masses in a public debate. Robme was just vile and showed his true colors last night.

Joseph Smith's perfect wet dream was possession of the White House and control of the US.

(1,253 posts)the same streak that kept him out of 'Nam, while cheerleading for that clusterfuck.
anything coming out of left field - that he hasn't been coached for beforehand - will send this simpering idiot into a catatonic state.
imo, this POS will fold like paper, whenever the sh*t hits the fan; just like his 'puke predecessor, Bushyphallus, the horse's ass.

(6,002 posts)two we were hoodwinked into. Deficits be damned, war trumps everything.
Rmoney is a disaster lying in wait, pun intended.

(13,390 posts)I remember reading an op ed that was very direct. The author stated that his presidency would result in a national disaster. I don't remember who wrote it, but I do wonder what that author thinks of romney.
Seriously the low bar comparison Obama made should really make a lot of people think.
mother earth
(6,002 posts)will speak of...if he's a GOP'er he can make it up as he goes, say whatever he pleases and retract it the following week.
Who cares?!!?? Does it matter if he can "get elected" the same way? That's within the realm of possibility. If history repeats itself, we are screwed!
