I did not watch the Republicans debate
only saw those clips on the news. But I think that Fred Thompson is the most inarticulate of all candidates of both parties. How can an actor not be able to "project?"

1. have you seen him act? he's a one note fiddle
authoritarian disinterest is his main asset to the acting world. Imagine a bald male mother blandly scolding her kids for eating the candy at the checkout whilst he/she scans the Star and Weekly World "kiddsss.....stop it or you're in troubleandImeanit."

kind of like that.

2. He sucks without a script
and he can't ad-lib to save his life. he is a stufed shirt that has no substance. the gop was hoping for a regan reincarnate. they failed.

4. If his main platform is getting Reagan on the dime....he'll win 4 sure
because nothing gets those spluttering dimwith GOP die hards going like an ode to the great leader and B-movie actor, Ronnie.

7. Reagan had at least those one liners quipps
that charmed some voters. Remember his "I am paying for this microphone"

Or "I will not hold my opponent's youth against him"

Thompson does not even have this.
