Jim Geraghty on the MTP Interview

Jim Geraghty has written his review of Fred's performance on Meet The Press. He gives Fred a "ground rule double".

Jim quoted Jen Rubin describing the way that Fred answers questions and gave an example:

“He does not answer questions linearly with a direct answer to the question but rather talks about the subject matter. Some find this thoughtful and other think he is vamping and unfocused.” His talk on Iran was a perfect example, in that Thompson’s position isn’t terribly different from the rest of the field – he doesn’t want to use force, but he’ll keep that option open - but as he talks at length about the risks and benefits and factors that would go into a military strike, the audience, I think, will feel reassuring that if Thompson needs to face that decision, he will have weighed each option carefully.
