USM Dowdy - Herring Debate

It was really bad and I don't think it'll inspire the students who attended which is sad.

They appeared to be responding to thoughts they'd brought with them without being open to what was being said. Both gave responses to questions that had little to nothing to do with the original topics.

No one ever asked about Haley Barbour and only one student asked about economic development yet job figures and Herring's love of Haley and Haley's ethics came up multiple times.

Their responses were not always clear and often included multiple unrelated topics.

Herring seemed to speak like he was being paid by the word.

The most interesting point of the night was when the following student stood up to offer a popular opinion from the students there. You needn't watch past the first minute. The response to this, like everything else, was largely disappointing.
