RNC debate

So there it is.

https://rumble.com/v3ak5c2-fox-news-...ry-debate.html

Thoughts? Just seems like a lot of kicking can stuff. And obviously none of this matters, really, given how far Desantis is behind Trump in this (sadly). Though it might shed a little light on who Trump might pick for vice.

I haven't watched the debate yet, but right now I'm most interested in Ramaswamy, Tim Scott and DeSantis.

I did like Ron’s little quip, “We’re not elementary school kids” when they were asked to raise their hands if they agreed that climate change was a man-made issue

Gotta start indoctrinating them with that crap while they're elementary school age to make sure it sticks!

You know they’ll still call him a “white supremacist”. Heck, they called Larry Elder “Trumpism in blackface”.

Did anyone else notice that there was a severe lack of election integrity questions?

So who are the righties favoring most?


Didn't watch any of it. Did anyone, besides presumably Christie, have the gonads to speak against Trump as part of the competition or are they still too afraid? What good is avoiding it to not upset that base if they can't win them anyhow if they are not bothering to offer something better and say so.

I mostly skipped to the Pence, Desantis, and Ramaswamy bits. In another universe it'd be fun to see Ramaswamy get the nomination. Can you imagine the debates he'd have with Biden (that is, assuming Biden even has any)?

I thought Desantis did pretty good, all around. Good, solid answers.

The media said he was "the black face of white supremacism." Now, how people in the media get to say that and keep their job, I'm not sure.

Because the media’s not the news anymore; it’s pure propaganda. If the government decides that the sky is green, their media mouthpieces will say that it’s green, even though it’s clearly blue, and anyone who says that it’s blue is spreading “fake news”

Its the same media that pretends that a man can be a woman, if he cuts his dick off. Or just says he is a woman.

Nothing is of the table with those lunatics.

Just listened to this. The big takeaway is that Ramaswamy swears he will refuse to be Trump's VP if that's the way things shake out.

Thought this part was interesting, very telling



The 4 on the left did eventually raise their hands, but not until looking around and thinking about it first.

Pence and Christie are such a joke

There was a window of time where I thought that Pence might make a good President. And then I saw an interview with him some time back where he was asked if he would run and he played sort of coy and it just didn't go well. It was all downhill after that in almost everyone of his public appearances.

Something about the guy just screams Manager from the "Office Space" movie. Standing there with his coffee and vocal tonality, but full of $#!( and all "act" with no substance.

I noticed the sbscence of Trump. Now I get that he's currently indicted in three states and thus in quite a legal battle, so I know he's maybe too busy to attend something like this (to say the least). Question is, does the Republican party even want him back?

That has absolutely nothing to do with why he didn't show up.
