(882 posts)I was a little disappointed that the moderator didn't live up to her promise to not tolerate answers that didn't address the question. Walker's answers rarely did and he was never called on it. He just rattled off talking points. It's not like he could honestly answer anything so what else does he have? Burke's answers did address the questions and the answers were reasonable.
Of course that makes little difference to the "decided" republican voters.
Another bright spot was that the panel's questions were pretty good. None of the "Hey look at me, i just nailed someone with a gotcha question!" stuff. I hope they continue that in the second debate. Even if Walker just continues to evade, which he will, maybe some of the undecided voters who actually watch will finally notice.

I thought the questions need to be more aggressive. I do realized that is because I want to see Walker called out on specifics. Not a good way for Mary Burke to shine. This worked out better.

(429 posts)Nothing fazes Walker, he just picks up where he left off lying to whatever the question is. He's a lying machine. She needs to be more forceful and direct and really say the words 'you are lying' and then back it up with the facts. If she doesn't she won't score enough points to knock him out.

He lives in his own little, miserable world. Sad that so many live in that world with him.
