The first Republican Presidential Primary Debate hosted by Fox News, with partners Rumble and Young America’s Foundation, live from the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin
“One of the symptoms of late stage TDS is constant foul mood swings.”
well, just like drug addiction it is a disease. But in the meantime I love rattling that cage and watching them snarl. Like this for instance from tonight’s MOST WATCHED interview...
CARLSON: If the protest didn’t work, you got elected anyway. Impeachment didn’t work twice. Obviously. The indictment is not working. Your poll numbers go up when they raided Mar A Lago in August of last year. Your numbers went up, um, they can indict you 20 times and it’s not gonna, you’re not gonna lose the Republican primary because of that.
sure was fun to watch.Hard to type,that’s why I wasn’t on.
Starting in 2016 with “crossfire hurricane” and then all the other unAmerican unConstitutional shenanigans, the USA has lost it’s moral authority to intervene anywhere.
I think that's called 3,239.3715 dimensional chess.
Took a look at your posts. You definitely fall into the prejudiced camp based on his religion. Did you know he went to a Jesuit high school, and was their valedictorian? Have you considered really looking into his background, how much respect he personally has for Christians? What do Christians who were close to him growing up think of him? You should be ashamed.
I thought DeSantis did fine though I favor Trump. Trump erred badly in not appearing at this forum.
Hindus do not belong leading western countries and Hinduism is a social cancer on humanity.
Why the angst against Hinduism?
Do you feel that strongly about pagan commie globalists leading western countries?
You sound shrill and bigoted. Godless communism is the threat to America. Not Hindu patriots.
Tried to do both Trump’s Tucker interview and the circus debate. Also checking here on freeper thread.
Trump as usual is awesome and heard some new info on J6 and when Hildabeast called in 2016 at 3 am and had a different voice. Can you say she might have tipped a few?
Anyway I’m Trump 150%,
If having natural born parents is a stipulation to run for President, Vivek shouldn’t be allowed to run. His parents are naturalized, not natural born US citizens. But, hey, it worked for Obama.
Haley’s a war whore.
What’s going on right now is the same thing that goes on every primary.... though rarely is an open primary so COMPLETELY dominated so early by 1 candidate.
What you have is folks who, whatever reason are looking for someone other than the dominant player, bounce from one person to another.. largely these folks they bounce to are fairly unknowns, and those looking tend to PROJECT what they want to see onto these unknowns, and then through the process they get a real look at them and decide, nope, next and move one to another one, where the same outcome usually happens.
Desantis was far more popular before folks actually got a good look at him, now, the more he’s seen the lower he polls, because those backing him are realizing he isn’t what they projected onto him... Ramaswamy has gotten gains by those folks projecting onto him things that just aren’t there, based on a few soundbites etc, and now after tonight that they have actually seen him, I’d suspect him to quickly flounder as well...
This will continue for a while, though this cycle I don’t think it will last too long.. while the primary won’t likely “TECHNICALLY” be over, by March 5th, (12th at the latest) any lingering delusion that Trump is not going to be the nominee will be put to bed.. oh sure there will be some bitter folks who will still try to claim some crazy mathematical path exists for the others, but effectively it will be done.
Trump will almost certainly clean sweep every single state up to that point by multiple double digits above his closest competitors.... Then from March on, it will basically be the establishment trying to destroy Trump and Trump lambasting whoever the Dem candidate is...
By the time of the convention in July, the GOP candidate will have been effectively decided for more than 4 months.. and the lines will be well defined with the squawking nevertrump/establishment/uniparty/globalists ranting and raving as their heads explode, while the rest of the folks will have rallied.
The real drama in this campaign isn’t around Trump, as much as the establishments wants you to believe it is, the real drama is going to be around the D’s.
They can’t hide the fact Biden is a dud, so they either have to get rid of him somehow, and figure out who else should run, or try to prop up a man who doesn’t even know his name and has no pandemic as an excuse to keep hidden.
So, what are they going to do?? They are the ones who really have the bigger problem on their hands.
And that’s not even getting into whether or not a third party candidate decides to jump in...
3.5 times as many people watched Tucker and Trump instead of the GOP debate. That shows what voters really think.
The GOP nomination belongs to Trump, the rest is filler.
I don’t know. So far Trump’s interview with Tucker has almost 90 million views. It broke the internet. So Trump has reached far more people tonight than he would’ve taking part in the debate. It was a very good interview.
I think that Trump was himself a little conflicted about not doing the debate. He’s a good American and part of him wanted to do it but the American political system has morphed into something unrecognizable and the old book ends up going out the window. When you are under 4 felony trials and your very life may be in jeopardy you do what you need to do.
Destroying Vivek is like picking on the special needs kid, it’s just not that hard, the man’s a complete fraud... he thought his little act would play well on a national stage, and he discovered, the act that plays trying to schmooze and sell your next vaporware investment doesn’t play all that well with the public.
Man is absolutely a Slick Willie with more melanin, and not nearly as good at the game as Clinton was either.
What about the Fox News “spin-room” after-show with the “surrogate”? Any streaming sources...cord cutter here.
Big loser tonight, Faux Snooze. The moderators were horrible, and the questions sucked.
Too many debate participants at this time. I always hate these early debates. I don’t think anyone’s performance is going to move the polls much. Ramaswamy’s opposition to funding the Ukraine war was probably the biggest point of contrast between him and the others. He might make some gains because of that. DeSantis was DeSantis — level-headed but lacking charisma. Pence was the stuffed shirt empty suit he always is. He’s going nowhere. Christie is glib which is sometimes entertaining, but his attacks on Trump doom him to low level support. The rest? Meh. They’re going to have to do a lot better than that. If Trump gets removed, I think the battle is between Ramaswamy and DeSantis.
