Full title: Newt Gingrich: Dem presidential candidates doing a great job showing voters why Trump should be reelected

Remember the exciting, unpredictable and entertaining 2015-16 Republican presidential debates? Who would candidate Donald Trump take down this week? How would he dominate media questioners yet again?

Whether you were for Trump, appalled by him or just curious, each debate was worth watching.

Trump was so different – and so cheerfully direct and aggressive – that people began to see the debates as a sort of reality TV (which is what they should be). Our country is better when more people want to watch political debates and participate in elections.

By contrast, Thursday’s Democratic debate was a bore, with an old-time politician tone that made it painful to sit through.

After about 30 minutes of policy-wonk jargon about incomprehensible details of health policy, Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., remarked: "This discussion has given the American people a headache."

Like or dislike Trump, I can’t imagine a participant in a Trump-energized presidential debate saying – as South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg did – that the debates "are becoming unwatchable."

The most revealing moment of the debate may have been former Vice President Joe Biden’s comment that to help poor children learn more words, parents should “make sure you have the record player on at night.”

It may be tricky for Democrats if they nominate someone in 2020 who is mentally in a world of record players. It will be quite difficult to try to be the party of the future when you have a candidate of the past.

The free-loaders don’t give a rat’s behind who will be the president so long as he/she will maximize the free stuff.

Even those blacks who now have jobs during Trump admin, instinctively pine for the bigger welfare party of democrats. Hillary lost PA, WI & MI by very thin margins. Was she a worse candidate than Warren or Klobuchar or
Yang or Castro or even old white guy Biden? Yes, Hillary was more lazy and addicted to alcohol, than all those running in 2020.

I am not going to sit on my duff and take a Trump win for granted.

Because a house full of gender confusion and gerbil warming makes kids yugely smart.

I agree. Never underestimate the enemy.

I’m hoping they pick Joe Biden though.

Joe has a hands-on approach to things.

Yes, JB can never keep up with the torrid pace DJT will set up of holding 100 rallies all over during the 2020 run.

I was actually excited to watch the debate and I’m not sure why. I only caught part of it, and it was just absolutely horrible. It seems like all of these people are trying to lose to Trump with these f****** crazy ideas. No meat, no straws, you’ve got to give up your car and your gun. Oh yeah, we’re not too crazy about you riding on airplanes either. It’s all good because we’re going to fix the climate of the planet. It was like watching a debate in a lunatic asylum but they all thought it was normal because they’re all crazy.

I didn’t see any of it live but have seen some clips.

It seems to me that most of them are just there for the spotlight and really aren’t interested in the presidency.

It’s pretty pathetic.

Exposing kids to words they didn’t normally hear at home. It’s an old teaching method. They did similar things when I was doing teaching stuff between 1999 & 2011, with CD’s, and digital recorders. Particularly for kids in special education programs. It’s also been used for teaching languages for a long time.

Not particularly modern. These days you’d probably use a smartphone.

I think it was about kids hearing words because he was talking about poor kids hearing 4 million less words

The "lyrics" in most rap would count as negatives...
