2024 Presidential Election thread

[Mr.TaterSalad]

The Republicans have to have a TV ad essentially telling them that Russia is the bad guy and we need to support Ukraine. That's sad and pathetic!

[MIguy]

This thing has been nuts so far.  The Republican party is a disaster.

Yeah - I salute you who have the fortitude. While it is certainly part and parcel of a noble level of civic responsibility,  I am at the point where life is too short to spend it on that

I'd be really bored if Chat GOP wasn't there.  At least he's there just being a trolling jerk and entertaining me

It's all for not in the end. Unless Trump is physically in jail he'll be the nominee and that's all there is to it.

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Nikki Haley with probably the most rational answer on abortion you'll hear tonight. And then Ron DeSantis out there talking about a person being discarded in a pan.

[pfife]

I hope they keep talking about abortion like this 

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Lol at Vivek talking about mental health when he previously railed against social welfare programs.

[Mr.TaterSalad]

This outta be delicious. Rule of law Republicans on stage kissing ass of a man who broke the law.

[pfife]

If winning us defined as who helped themselves the most, to me its ChatGOP and Haley at half time

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Does Chat GOP realize Trump nearly killed Christie?

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Well good for Christie anyways. At least he has a small spine, even if it took selling out for 4 years and nearly dying of covid to do it.

[pfife]

Christie will always stand up for the constitution..... except for all of those times he didn't

[pfife]

I thought Pence was really effective there re Jan 6.

[MIguy]

Pence taking Vivek to the woodshed is hilarious.   

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Nikki Haley giving it to Chat GOP (thanks Pfife for the nickname).

[pfife]

Doug  Burnum won that debate

[Motor City Sonics]

One moment summed them up as the spineless losers they are

The question was if Trump is convicted how many of you would still support him............None of them raised their hands for a second then when the first one did and got cheers, the rest of them, but one, followed suit, including Pence, who Trump basically tried to have killed.    All you need to know.      Spineless.    

What a joke. 

[romad1]

Saw none of it until this morning.  I really don't care what these idiots say to each other about their love for Orange felons.

I'm glad Christie, Hutchinsen and Pence were saying mostly the right things.  Still nevertrump and any party that raises its hands for him is not my party.

Granted life has been busy, but I honestly forgot there was a debate going on last night.... which kinda gets to the point that the whole charade is irrelevant and that none of these folks is likely to be the nominee when it's all said and done

I'll be genuinely curious as to what the ratings were.... I can't imagine they were high on the debate last night.

For the little of it I could handle to watch, I agree.  

I will say I saw Haley rail against GOP spending which was surprising.  I imagine she'll be spending today backtracking everything she said and praising Trump.

If nothing else she just eliminated herself from the VP contest

She's been doing that on the trail for a while.   I've heard her doing that before om Cspan.

Heard this morning that the Tucker Trump thing on "X" got 100 million views in the first four hours.

Granted views probably encapsules a lot of views from outside of the US / bots / etc., but there's zero question in my mind he drew a lot more viewership than the "Omega House Couch" debate drew.
