Presidential Debate

The first presidential debate was held this past Wednesday at the University of Denver. The two candidates that debated were Governor Romney and President Obama. Although the debate was very intense, there was a clear winner: Governor Romney. I believe that Governor Romney won because of his aggressive personality and his determination to get his point across. Like a true debate, the candidates truly never answered any questions that were being asked. President Obama throughout the whole debate kept bringing up the fact that Governor Romney had a "5 trillion dollar tax cut" and that seemed to be Obama's only argument. Governor Romney, in my opinion, won the debate due to the fact that he corrected President Obama on everything that was incorrect, never let the proctor ask questions, stayed off topic, brought up the flaws in the past four years that Obama failed to fix, and had a manipulative personality. The debate was not about the truth behind what the candidates were saying but rather how well they got their message across and how convincing they made it sound. In other words, the debate was not about truth but about believing in lies and being confident about it. I believe that Governor Romney won the debate not by the content of his answers or what his plans had to do with this country but rather by his aggressive personality and confidence in his information. I do not think that President Obama lost because he did not try or have enough content in his answers but because of his laid-back personality. The difference in morals as well as personalities is the reason why Governor Romney won the debate over President Obama. The next debate should be very interesting considering the fact that the President got walked all over because of his mellow personality.
