Shamelessly quoting my own post above here, but the debate "expert" here in this article interestingly makes the same point I made above about Nikki trying to ram the whole enchilada into a short space of time. Although we came at it from different angles. He faulted her for doing it in the debate but I gave her credit for doing so much better with it in debates where time limits are set- because off in town halls or solo interviews where she is given more time she just goes on and on to the point of weakening her point.
Make a point or two then land your plane for crisesakes woman.
Debate coach: One candidate got a B. The other almost flunked
Editor’s Note: Todd Graham is a professor of debate at Southern Illinois University. His teams have won five national championships; he’s been named the national debate coach of the year three times and been presented with the lifetime achievement award in academia and debate.
The other hiccup for Haley is that she debates as if she can win the whole debate, nay, the entire presidency, in this very instant right now if she jams as many topics as possible into each of her answers. Debt limit, supporting Ukraine, Iowa campaigning, renewable fuel standards and social security are all deep topics. Yet Haley mentioned all those and more in just one of her crowded answers.
