Republicans have been well versed in this techniques and it was apparent that Even Romney was successful in the first debate using this method..

What I think is that if a Progressive ends up in a debate with a right wing fast talker that as soon as the first lie is spewed by the Repub. the Democrat or Progressive should not let the debate continue until the lie is fully addressed.. Even to the point of walking out of the debate.. If we are sure of the lie or misrepresentation of facts., the next day there would be a great degree of fact checking and discussion which in 99% of cases would support our candidate..And the lie or misrepresentation would be in print all over the country..
