BuzzFeed Grades The CNN Debate
Because you were bored of everybody else’s letter grades. What is this? School?
1. Newt Gingrich
Newt Gingrich blew away viewers with his barrage on CNN for opening the debate with a question about his ex-wife. The exchange instantly set the tone for the testy debate, and put Gingrich in a strong position from the start.
3. Ron Paul
5. Mitt Romney
Mitt Romney called his own cited program by the derogatory term used by its conservative critics, and said he comes from “the real streets of America.” He handed his rivals easy points of attack on a silver platter, and once again demonstrated that he is out of touch with real Americans.
7. Rick Santorum
Rick Santorum unloaded on Newt Gingrich tonight, but also provided some of the most unusual moments of the night — whispering into the microphone to highlight his steadfast opposition to abortion, and accusing Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney of “playing footsie with the left.”

Krissy Diggs a year agoI don’t want Newt to be so good at debates… He’s sleezy to the core.

turtlefeed a year agoOMG, that Ron Paul .gif! XD Honestly, considering Rick Santorum claimed that his anti-abortion stance was justified by the “Con-er-Declaration,” which confers the right to life, I’d say he failed. The Declaration of Independence doesn’t protect life or anything else. It is an explanation of why the Continental Congress passed the Lee Resolution. But hey, even if you think that’s an obscure bit of trivia, why would you assume federal legislation written prior to the Constitution is binding? Do the Articles of Confederation still count or something? I just can’t deal with it. Presidential candidates should know better. Oh, and historian Newt, you’re kind of slow to correct your fellow GOPers when they spew glaring historical inaccuracies, and yet claim you know what the Founders thought. Hmm.
