The Campaign is over Thread #3 for 10/22/12: The Romney Gaffe Fest of Foreign Policy

First, let me just express how the weird and disturbingly clandestine Presidential Debate Commission picked a horrible night to have this final debate. Not recognizing that both a Monday Night Football game and a potential MLB LCS playoff contest could happen on the same night as the final debate (and it indeed has happened) shows how out of touch with America the shadow commission truly is.

Now with that said, there will be enough viewers tonight who don't tune into those sports contests to witness Mitt Romney potentially have one of the most desperate and embarrassing debate performances ever, as if last week wasn't atrocious enough in Long Island.

With any lies he can come up with about the economy gone, Romney will have a whole assortment of John Bolton-esque right-wing attacks that only Dan Senor could memorialize better. He will be desperate and out of control on another of issues, especially trying his hardest to make Libya an issue despite the smackdown he received last Tuesday.

What is going to be so appalling for any rational American and those in the global community to witness is Romney showing how limited a man this close to the White House is on foreign policy. When Paul Ryan arguably knows more about foreign policy than you do, then it really says something about how utterly brain dead the Republican Party has become on international issues.

There is no diplomacy Romney will display, just faux tough chatter from a man who will hide in the moment of a real fight. Ridiculous stern rhetoric on China, Russia, Iran, random Islamic groups, maybe even one on Venezuela too. It will get so incongruous from Romney this evening, I wouldn't even rule out a verbal threat on Canada.

Bob Scheiffer will try his best to be "neutral", but even he may go further in correcting Romney for ridiculous and horribly inaccurate information than Candy Crowley cautiously did last week.

Obama will talk about drones I think, and won't shy away sadly from being proud of them. And he won't mentioned (or will be asked) about private contractor insanity. He will remain cool and placid, ready to humiliate Romney subtly for any ridiculous comment of many he will make tonight.
