Anonymous: That video isn't of Mitt cheating. What he pulled out of his pocket was a handkerchief. He picks up the same object again at the start of the closing statements and wipes his nose with it. Kleenex and hankies are allowed on the debate stage and are frequently used by candidates. Please do some research before you spread lies about one of the presidential candidates. Huffpost, USNews, buzzfeed, and others have all said it was just a hanky.

I don’t know why I didn’t see this til now or if you just sent me this. But if you looked at my comment on that video I said that I thought it didn’t look like a piece of paper to me it looked like a handkerchief.

Also considering Mitt enjoyed altering his stance on most topics and his plans while incorrectly assessing Obama’s plans in many ways, I would say that he should have been allowed notecards.  Then maybe he would actually know his own policies and could accurately attack Obama’s.
