The left has been calling Trump names for the past 7 years.

They all stand up there and say what they are going to do as President,
and they have no clue as to who and what they are up against with the democRats and the media.
At some recent time, they all slammed Trump for not carrying through on building the wall. Christie is the worst for that.
I can't decide whether or not they didn't see all of the opposition piled against him,
or whether they think that we didn't see it.
The Rat pack is never going to let a republican president succeed on anything.
PERIOD.

Actually it Was Very Good “Debate”.
The Best “Debate” So Far. Reason being Right/Center/Right moderators asking questions those of us on The Right/Center Right are actually interested in.

To bad Donald Didn’t Show Up.

It was a good debate, and yeah, it would have been good to see Trump in the mix to see the contrast between him and the others.

Pressure is growing on former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie to drop out of the GOP primary in order to clear a path for either Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis or former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, as Republicans look for a viable alternative to former President Trump.

Christie has largely centered his campaign around his criticism of Trump, but that message, coupled with a crowded primary field and a New Hampshire-centric operation, has complicated his path in the Republican field. There was even speculation that he wouldn’t qualify for Wednesday night’s debate, which will be hosted at 8 p.m. ET by The Hill’s sister news organization NewsNation, though in the end he did.

But with the Iowa caucuses steadily approaching, Republicans are pressing the New Jersey Republican to exit the race.

The good thing about these debates is that it is a skill to learn.
Newsome, out in California never had to debate a serious candidate, he knew he could lie and get away with it, he has been given every job he has had, never had to work for it. That became very clear to him, his wife and the country last week when DeSantis cleaned his clock.
These Republican debates are good if for no other reason than to learn how to do it well.

Yes, but not a Presidential debate since none of these clowns will be the nominee.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Why? We already know the contrast. Trump would have been a fool to go to any of those sham debates.

He had exactly NOTHING to gain by going.

He would have been a fool? You think his numbers would go down if showed up? If he can’t defend his record or articulate his vision without looking like a fool, then maybe he’s the wrong person for the job.

DeSantis is the establishments only option to get close to Trump and he’s not going to be the one. It’s simply not his time to run. Haley is JEB Bush in drag and offers the establishments same platitudes-aka lies they have told since Bush 41. If she were to get the nomination by hook or crook it would be a blood bath for the GOP next November.

Krispy Kreme is nothing more than a 21st century Captain Ahab hunting his proverbial white or in Trumps case orange whale. He’s bitter, nasty and would be a bigger disaster than JEB in drag in the general election.

The Indian dude is killing the establishment GOP’s drones in the debates but has no chance. Everyone knows what he is saying is right but no one believes he will walk the walk.

The GOP establishment has to decide will it support Trump and hope he drags their lying, backstabbing behinds over the finish line next November or betray Trump again and face a terminal event for the GOP as a viable political party. Another election betrayal would never be forgiven by the base.

The LIE of this entire primary, is the establishment and media pretending any of this BS matters....

Trump is the Nominee, period, he was the nominee as of Jan 7, 2021, as long as he decided to run.

Every one of these clowns, and “debates” just reinforces exactly why that is true.

Utterly out of touch and owned by the globalists... not a damn one of them wants or will put America first, not a one of them, because they are all owned by globalists.
