Those that vote in GOP primaries probably should watch on the off-chance Trump does not win the primaries or opts to run as an independent if he does lose (rendering the GOP candidate irrelevant).

Nope. The race for 2nd place doesn't really interest me.

i watched 1st, & plan to watch 2nd (it's tonight)...

(Trump's counter-programming stunts -should- be considered an insult to the GOP & all the voters, but obviously he's immune to everything)

So how many millions of views is Trump's Michigan visit going to get?

I'll put out a lowball guess of 800,000,000.

He will top 100 million. No one is going to watch the debate tonight.

i assume Trump's speech will be televised so he'll have a harder time misleading about his 'ratings' being better (though obviously still will... probably will add internet 'views' to his total & not to the debates... or just make up numbers as he does regularly...)


a shame Vivek at the debate as he brings similar unserious/entertainer energy as Trump

These debates are like pre-season football games. They don't matter and only take place to weed out the fodder. We can start paying attention when the field gets down to two or three.

"These debates are like pre-season football games. They don't matter and only take place to weed out the fodder. We can start paying attention when the field gets down to two or three."

Usually when it gets to 2 or 3 it's already over. That's why most states hate late primaries.

Tw, What is misleading?

Your argument is that Tucker draws the views?

Twitter post views have no correlation to TV ratings (& are not unique views, & don’t need to watch -any+ of video to count, etc)... but if you want to insanely believe 270 million people watched that interview of no significant time or content, fine

Vivek is such a dick... (on his dumb shit birthright citizenship answer and suggesting illegal immigrants not subject to our laws... I don’t want to explain it... find video if interested)

So this "GOP" debate involves a moderator who is a clear immigrant-loving leftist...sounds about right.

Shutting off for the night.

(I did like how the British guy did butcher her name in the beginning though)

Although that's another thing...a "GOP" debate where 67% of the moderators are foreigners...wtf?

Wed Sep 27 20:45:05
Oh and now that illegal-loving moderator is asking "gotcha" questions on the 2nd Amendment...

Fuck whoever organized this debate.

Chris Christie or Nikki Haley should be the nominee

I'd vote for either one or Mitt Romney but only if Democrats controlled the supreme court and at least one house of congress.

I will pay attention when my attention is warranted. Right now it isn't. Three people on the stage can't scrape together a measly 3% each? They shouldn't be wasting peoples time and money. We still have more than three months to the first caucus. Plenty of time to look through candidates when all the chaff is removed.

Haley would wipe the floor with Biden in a general election. Her much more reasoned tone and moderation in regard to female reproductive health care would pull a shit ton of women voters and independent voters. She'd obviously win the old ass Biden vs someone much younger contest.

It's very telling the shambles of the Republican party MAGA comma that she's not polling much higher.

should be a cakewalk for R's with inflation & the border

run someone who is not a dangerous cult leader... someone not w/ open contempt for truth & the law... someone who hasn't repeatedly admitted to gross mishandling of classified info (that you found disqualifying for Hillary when wasn't even intentional)... someone who hasn't tried to overturn the election w/ lies... someone who doesn't pick foreign allies based on amount of personal praise for or payments to him... someone who doesn't purposely spread division & cause major friction amongst families & friends

+ any polls showing Trump doing well in the general aren't factoring in how little focus there is on Trump's behavior... he's tucked away on his cult platform instead of a real platform, once he's nominee, the spotlight goes on & people will be reminded of his ridiculously obvious unfitness

if he -actually- is your side's best candidate to win, the country really is doomed

That debate was a shitshow.

Who decided it was a good idea to allow a far-leftist to be one of the moderators? Her questions were complete garbage from start to finish.

This is why no one respects establishment Republicans anymore. Establishment Reps are basically Dems who believe that billionaires shouldn't pay taxes, of course they would have been fine with Calderon and her BS about LGBTQ, immigration, and CRT issues.

Anyway, everyone involved in that debate lost. No one stood put and no one demonstrated any sort of potential ability to defeat Trump. The orange man must have been grinning his ass off last night.

Long live thengreat MAGA King!

What the left doesn't seem to get is that, not even Reagan is more popular than Darth Trump.

He is loved amongst the rank and file more than any political leader I've seen in my lifetime.

Got too cute with my next to last post. Should have left it at ...

That's more accurate.

Murder, You have not changed at all from, ever.

Most politicians suck, at least with Trump he is entertaining and transparent.
