I was at a BBQ this weekend and nobody mentioned this debate or even anyone in it.

The lie here is that people thought RDS won. No they didn’t, FOX declared him the winner. Surprise surprise! A guy who was too timid to even raise his hand without checking what others were doing.

I didn’t watch it, just video clips and articles after it. It was just pathetic and outdated with people very few even care about anymore. As if the voters care about Ukraine when the US is falling apart.

Only Vivek, because he was different, and Fatboy, because he is so pumped with pure hate and venom are even mentioned.

RDS ? Pfffffff!

He was primed to hit back but nobody took a swing at him.

It’s just FOX News propaganda. It still sells to lazy mind controlled GOPe.

Sine this was a FOX debate, the others probably knew better than to hit Murdoch’s golden boy who was all spit shined and decked out in his elevator shoes.

I never disliked RDS at all until he aligned himself with the GOPe Jebra crowd. He asked for the disdain. That was one awful mistake of judgment on his part.

So far, Youngkin has not engaged in the same mistake. Time will tell.

Yeah, Jeb, a former Florida governor, shows up as a guest at DeSantis' inauguration. Evidence that DeSantis has allied himself with the "Jebra crowd."

Trump fills almost his entire administration with Bush swamp creatures. Evidence of Trump's skill at 28D chess, or something like that.

Can you name anyone working in any official capacity on DeSantis' campaign that is a former Bush official?

The propaganda never ends.

I equally loathe all candidates on that stage, but all comments seem to strongly imply that most that watched it feel that one Indian guy won the debate.

RE: what Win?

The author is basing his remark on the post-debate polls he cited in the article.

Looking at the other candidates before barely raising his hand to support Trump if he is convicted is a “win?”

There is much more than that and people know it. Perhaps it is just Meatball himself. He just doesn’t have what it takes.

He should have run on the RAT side because they install ho hummer party elite boys by fraud.

Even a dud like Fetterman, a big brainless dolt, but it was real, had an appeal to the blue collar boys.

There is nothing about Meatball who appears to be working and obeys at the request of his donors that is in touch with people. Why? Because they aren’t in touch with people or their interests.

"DeSantis lost."

They all lost. Each one of them deserves the booby prize.

I get where you are coming from but there is a problem. RDS took exactly the correct position on Ukraine. Then he met with the GOPe. He came out sounding like Linda Graham. That was the begging of his collapse with the base. Then came his half assed criticism of the rat lawfare attack on Trump. The final straw for me was when he sounded like Pelosi and said “the voter fraud theories have all been proven to be untrue”. He didn’t betray Trump with that BS he betrayed us. Unforgivable

"I didn’t watch it, just video clips and articles after it."

I didn't watch the debate or Trump's interview. I don't have time in my life to waste on that stuff. I already know I'm voting for Trump a third time anyway. The only video I watched of the hand raising question, was from Mark Dice, and as always, he put a humorous spin on it. The bottom line is, that I wouldn't vote for any of those self-serving fools on that stage. They all know they don't have a snowball's chance in hell of winning the nomination, yet they are still willing to run around the country, spending other people's money, and setting some of it aside for their future political aspirations.

Hard to tell, he keeps firing them.

Yeah, DeSantis actually fires people who aren't performing. Trump should take notes.

Exactly. Occasionally Levin is relevant but he leans GOP-e

Dave Rubin had a good after debate discussion with Jordan Peterson, Glenn Greenwald, Michael Malice.

I didn’t watch any of it also. I already know where they all stand.

He then rehires people who aren’t performing. Or maybe it is what they have to work with.
