how Mit handles it. Obama lives in the furnace.
Romney wouldn't know trouble if his plastic ass was on fire.
It's gonna be interesting to watch.
Mano a mano.

(22,541 posts)In some circumstances he'll be very, very cool. In others he's more likely to blow, like when his grandiose view of himself is challenged. But he's smart enough to have practiced this. He'll know his own weaknesses.
There were times in the primary debates when his anger showed very clearly, especially when looking at Newt. I don't think he'll be able to hide that when he looks at President Obama, either. And he won't like having his "authority" challenged, as if he has any.
We've seen it already, though, his trying to claim credit for things he had nothing to do with, like saving the auto industry. That's grandiosity and false authority right there. When Obama makes a fool of him over that or anything like it we'll see some fireworks.

(22,541 posts)he's a true psychopath. Marked by grandiosity, no empathy for others, no fear. He is driven by what he wants for himself like money, position, etc. The feelings he does have, like for his family, are shallow. Just shells of the feelings that normal people have for their families. Psychopaths lie impulsively so they have trouble keeping up with their lies. They blame others for their mistakes or even harmful and violent acts.

(4,982 posts)Those who support their robosigner candidate(s) don't care if he can debate, spell, walk and chew gum at the same time, or anything else. He could be the most brain-dead, incompetent lousy candidate in existence - but as long as that little monkey can sign his name to a piece of Grover Norquist/KochBros/Teabagger legislation - then he's good enough for them - and most of them are still going to vote for him. Reference GWB, Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachmann, etc. as examples of this "phenomenon". None of these people are competent enough to clean toilets much less be POTUS - but they could sure sign their name to legislation that the GOTeabaggers and their two--headed King KochNorquist want. And that's all that counts in their book.
Meanwhile, watching the psychopath squirm while attempting to pretend to be human in public and while his buyers try to make him look competent will be entertaining, yes. But the bottom line is, competence isn't what they're looking for. Neither is humanity.
Honestly, if they could put a chimp in the oval office to sign their legislation, I bet they'd do it.

(163,986 posts)is watching Obama get some political licks in which he really doesn't do very much apart from campaigning. This guy, he'll be great for comedians just as McBomb was.
