Latest Democratic debate the dullest political event in years
NY Post ^ | January 14 2020 | John Podhoretz

When the Democratic debate started Tuesday night, I was young, carefree, merry. Two hours later, when it ended, I was praying to the Almighty for a swift end to my suffering. I felt like I was 103 years old — or even older, like one of the early patriarchs in the Bible. All the life had been sucked out of my body.

This, the seventh debate in seven months, was the dullest major political event in years.

And there is no excuse for that, since there were only six candidates on stage and, therefore, a real possibility that the Democrats could ­explore their differences with one another and draw sharp divisions. After all, the first voting will take place in Iowa in only 19 days.

I watched 15 minuets and was promised free health care, free college and free day care. I could not have afforded to watch the whole thing.

Apparently no one asked Sanders about gulags for Trumpsters or burning Milwaukee to the ground.

The President Trump rally in Wisconsin drowned out the Democraps infomercial.

I maintain my threat to dub a laugh track onto the entire debate and upload it to YouTube.

Well, we did find out that Steyer’s ties are more interesting than he is...I saw it in news this morning - only reason I knew the debate was happening is because it was juxtaposed by the Trump Rally...

For a confirmed “Never-Trumper”, Podhoretz is showing a clear trend toward liking the President. Is he going soft?

Thinking there should be a law that the state primaries should all be held at the same time. Early primaries by various states might not look promising for certain candidates & unnecessarily cause them to decide to drop out early. Of course, there are certain candidates who will have already dropped out & more who should have for the good of the country.

Far more effective than Sominex.

Should be required to have a “black box” warning from the FDA that Progtard DildoCrat debates can induce coma and cause brain damage resulting in death.
