Republican primary debate

[jamil]

No dude, not at all. They get along. Trust me. Trust us all.

I know. But.

 

[Leadeye]

I would imagine some of the obvious losers will stay in as along as the big money that's bankrolling them keeps coming. Newt kept his campaign going long after it was dead because Sheldon Adelson wanted him to stay in the race.

Want to know where politics is going?

always follow the money

I DeSantis is the most administratively competent candidate. Probably the most qualified for the job that needs done. But he can't campaign for ****. He makes so many blunders. Why did he have to feign his military service being more than it is? It's like he wants to see that he's the hero. So there's this example, the god sent him nonsense. If you have to tell people how heroic you are, you're really not one.

He should just focus on his accomplishments in FL and making the case that he can be successful on a national level, especially defeating ClownWorld™.

Problem is his Florida performance is starting to wane. Their homeowner’s insurance situation is hosed and he has a hand in it.

Larry who?

I like Larry Elder. I don't think he's presidential material. He's an author and talk show host. But they were justified in leaving him out. The threshold was some number of individual donors and at least 1% in polling. He met neither, though he claims he's met the individual donor minimum. He's like 0.4% in the last RCP average.

Didn't even watch it. I was eating crow pizza and drinking beer. No matter what ... Our country is doomed. Billy Bummer is done venting

Yeah it was sarcastic. I know who Elder is and I do think he's on the right side of the fight, but I agree that he'll never rise to the position of POTUS.

I figured you did. He is on the right side of the fight, but he's kind of a one-trick pony. He's got the get-fathers-back-in-homes speech down pat. And he's right about that. We have other problems, many of which that would help solve. But it's a long term fix. We need a fix now, until long term fixes can even happen.

What does that have to do with Larry Elder? Are you saying that Fox News rigged the polling against Larry Elder? The RCP average is a lot of polls and he's only at 0.4%. He's not going to be higher on any poll Fox News could rig.

“Former President Trump's debate night interview with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson is at 80 million views and counting on the social media platform X on Wednesday evening.”

Trump's GOP debate night interview at 230 million views and counting

What I learned last night is that you do not have to have a lot of charisma to be elected as a governor.

Didnt watch, watched two episodes of Suits instead. Just had zero interest in watching them or Trump with Tucker.

Heard Ron kinda **** the bed. Trump will be the nominee, no need to waste my time watching the circus for the next six months.

I don’t know if I’d say **** the bed. He didn’t win any points and I think his slide will continue. Ramaswamy will be the favorite of the US first voters. And I think that the chamber-o-commerce vote might lift Nikki Haley up a bit with the chamber-o-commerce/neocons, at the expense of Pence. But, maybe my disgust with Pence is preventing me from seeing all the swarms of voters who are into pretentious piety from their leaders. I just don’t see it. He done.

 

[Expat]

I watched the start of GMA this morning. They were saying Nikki probably did the best in gaining voters. But they said the whale turned in a masterful debate performance.

It's not stones, it's stupidity.

If he had any sense he would have already walked off. It's the same **** he did last time. All he's up there for is to try to take people down, he has no interest in actually running and winning.

I disagree. I think Christie is delivering on what he is being paid to do. The fact that he enjoys his work is just a bonus situation

He has nothing to lose and $millions to gain

This is our 1776 moment and as much as I admire the qualities that some of the men that have held the office of George Washington possess, none, in my opinion, have done it as well as Washington, have had the brilliance of Jefferson, the wisdom of Franklin and the chutzpah of our Founders.

“Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

Not sure even the Founders could see a path out of the weeds in today's political environment

I get that one has to be likeable. But if by charisma we mean someone who can dazzle us with their shtick, we’re simply not serious. The democrats put up mummies, fruits, and nuts (many with what their voters would probably consider charisma) and still advance their vision for America. They are serious about winning even with human debris they nominate and elect.

Yeah, everybody could use a few more holsters, yes?
