Why Rudy Giuliani Won Tonight’s Debate

15 May
2007

I’ve read the early reviews and while there doesn’t seem to be any consensus, I firmly believe Rudy Giuliani will emerge the winner tonight. He was the only candidate to stand up to Rep. Ron Paul’s despicable comment blaming 9/11 on America’s foreign policy. Giuliani showed presidential form by jumping in and slapping down Paul. By the time Giuliani was finished articulating his point, he had other candidates and the entire crowd cheering him on.


If Giuliani goes on to capture the nomination, his response to Ron Paul will be one of the moments that is replayed years from now. It was so powerful that I found myself cheering him in front of the TV.

Giuliani also did everyone a favor by exposing Paul as someone who doesn’t belong in this field and should be booted from future debates. It’s time for Republicans to stop giving this libertarian a platform.
