Which African American GOP candidate is a stronger debater?

[PoliticsWatcher1]

We have seen now how Tim Scott debated tonight. From Alan Keyes in 2000 to Tim Scott tonight, which African American GOP candidate had the stronger debating skills?

[インターネット掲示板ユーザー Punxsutawney Phil]

Alan Keyes - not sure, can't assess, no frame of reference
Herman Cain - not the best ideas man, he certainly is entertaining though
Ben Carson - everything Cain is except amplified for both better and worse
Scott - highly professional and best at debating, but is also the most bland of them all
Voted Scott.

Cain runs circles around everyone else.

Herman Cain by default. Scott and Carson are a snooze-fest, Keyes is too weird.

[Podgy the Bear]

Herman Cain by far, even though I disagreed with him on just about everything.  Thoroughly entertaining and could hold an audience--as he demonstrated on his radio show (WSB-AM) in Atlanta.

Keyes and Cain were at least high energy.

Ben Carson was crazy but in a bizarrely boring and reassuring way. He could calmly, with his eyes closed, talk about demons and magic belt buckles.

Tim Scott isn't crazy, but he is painfully boring. I am increasingly convinced Donald Trump is just flat out the best candidate the GOP has. That Tim Scott and Ron DeSantis would just be worse in the general than Trump. Scott didn't stand out the entire time. Dude's wallpaper.

Cain was the funniest.

I can see the case for Cain, Keyes, or even Carson depending on the debate format. Carson seems comically bad to me, but it's hard to argue with the evidence that he was effective at connecting with people in the 2015-2016 debates.

Tim Scott just seems out of his depth. He's one of the worst political communicators I've ever seen at this level of presidential politics. Has he never had to deal with real adversarial questions? Most of his responses are so dull and muddled that I have trouble sustaining attention through them. Sometimes, it's hard to believe that this person is a US Senator, and not an insurance salesman still sitting on the city council.

He doesn't even deliver his personal story convincingly. It's all broad strokes and clichés. At least Marco Rubio had the talking points down.
