As promised here is what I saw in the latest debate of dumb vs dumber, the GOP candidates duke it our.
Let me say from the onset….the GOP never takes a day off from crazy.
I watched and that will be time I shall never get back….there were back and forth….DeSantis and Rama(whatever) attacking Haley…..Rama(whatever) attacking Christie for being overweight….Haley trying to be cute….all in all it was a just night at the Chuckle Hut.
Well was there anything interesting at all?
Very little with the exception of the question about Trump…
An hour into the Republican debate Thursday night, the topic turned to Donald Trump.
Ron DeSantis: “Father time is undefeated,” he said when asked whether the 77-year-old Trump was fit enough for another term. “I think we need to have somebody younger.” At another point, he said Trump “had failed to clean up the swamp.” However, Chris Christie broke in to accuse DeSantis of dodging. “The question was very direct, is he fit to be president, or isn’t he?” said Christie, per the Wall Street Journal. “The rest of the speech is interesting but completely unresponsive.” DeSantis denied dodging the question but did not answer with a yes or nor about whether he thought Trump was fit enough to be president again. He repeated his line that “father time is undefeated,” adding, “I do think that over a four-year period it is not a job for somebody that’s pushing 80.”
Chris Christie: He delivered by far the most blistering critique of Trump in this portion of the debate. “This is an angry bitter man who now wants to be back as president because he wants to exact retribution on anyone who has disagreed with him,” he said. “His conduct is unacceptable. He’s unfit. Be careful of what you’ll get if you ever get a second Donald Trump term.” The comments drew boos from the crowd. Christie also said his rivals were afraid to criticize Trump. “Failing to speak out against him, making excuses for him, pretending he is a victim, empowers him,” he said, suggesting that this was the reason Trump was so far ahead in the polls, per the New York Times.
- Nikki Haley: Asked about Trump’s pledge to reinstate a ban on people from predominately Muslim nations, Haley said she would take a different tack. “I don’t think that you can have a straight up Muslim ban as much as look at the countries that have terrorist activity that want to hurt Americans,” she said, per CNN. “It’s not about a religion.”
- Vivek Ramaswamy: He did not get a Trump question but said all three of his rivals have been “licking Donald Trump’s boots” for years.
All in all the only adult on the stage last night was Christie….Haley tried but she just falls flat in my opinion.
There you have a rundown on the night’s festivities….as sad as it was.
Now aren’t you glad you did not watch this stupidity?
You are welcome.
I Read, I Write, You Know
“lego ergo scribo”
I am glad I did not watch the stupidity because I know that it was all for nothing… Hitler is coming again in a fatter and dumber-looking form and there is nothing that anybody can do to stop it…this mess last night was no more than the second ring in a larger circus that is facing disaster.
John it was a hoot….grown women and men acting like 8 year olds….like I said a get comedy act. chuq
What’s so sad about this is that there should be a healthy debate of ideas and policies that someone would fight for that would help our country…not a spoiled rich kid who says disgustingly offensive things just because he enjoys the spotlight…as for the others, at least Christie offers an honest, candid look at the future…which is why he is booed by the crowd…when Trump says EXACTLY what he will do if re-elected, believe him…he is vindictive and will tear down our country to satisfy his own bloated ego…why anyone would support him is beyond me – find someone who espouses the policies that you apparently agree with, not the wretched human being who has said on many occasions doesn’t care about you at all!
Like I said Christie was the only adult on the stage even when Rama….insulted him he wore it well….these are not debates that I participated in the past…these are just regurgitation of slogan from their campaigns. chuq
They lowered the level down to talking about someone being overweight? That speaks volumes.
Thanks for the roundup, chuq.
Best wishes, Pete.
I am glad to be of service…..chuq
I’m glad four of these have occurred and I didn’t watch any of them. Christie was the only one I expected to add anything to the chatter and it turned out that way. This is the first time since the Kennedy-Nixon debates that I didn’t watch all of them, Democrats and Republicans.
Sorry to say these days most are a comedy act with little but one liners. I watch because I am a glutton for mental punishment. chuq
Someone has to watch the circus so the rest of us can be spared. Thanks for your “reviews”!
You are very welcome….glad you like them chuq
