Republican debate #1

[shopgirl07]

Vivek is a tool who has the dumbest, most nonsensical ideas ever. I’m glad Christie tried to take him down BUT, comparing him to Obama? No sir. First, greatest insult to Obama ever, second Obama got elected so maybe not the smartest comparison.

[shopgirl07]

They just all have their shtick and don’t say anything beyond that. No ideas, no answers to the questions.

[shopgirl07]

OMG, Pence is like an SNL skit.

[bronxgirl]

I had to switch the channel during the abortion section because I know that will send me over the edge. But hopefully they’ll all start tearing each other down soon on a less triggering topic.

[erbear]

Pence is…not doing well.

[rosiebear]

Pence can’t get any applause on even the most blatantly pandering catch phrases. He’s toast. Hope it was worth hitching your wagon to Trump’s star, asshole.

[rosiebear]

I don’t watch R politics too closely, but Haley seems formidable. Why do people think she’s a weak candidate?

[pixy0stix]

I don't know why Pence even tried. They built a literal gallows for him.

Other than being a woman??

She has a vagina.

just tuned in - all the criminals are coming from across the border... (pretty sure the mass shootings weren't committed by immigrants)

and thank you Christie for not endorsing Trump and calling him out.

Republican women get elected, though. Look at Kristi Noem. Although I suppose President is a bridge too far for them.

Georgia begs to differ.

[rosiebear]

Surprised at the cheers for saying Pence did the right thing on January 6.

Vivek is just so annoying.

He reminds me of Beavis and Butthead for some reason.

Omg yes. He is his own bobble head.

It’s his stupid hair. 

[lilypad1126]

I missed most of this, but I just got home and H is watching. DeSantis is SO DETESTABLE. He has no charisma. His voice is annoying. Whyyy does anyone like him?? Ugh.

[bronxgirl]

Is Vivek just here to troll? Or to be a mouthpiece for Trump?

I just saw someone post that they expect him to try to sell them a time-share. He has the vibe of a MLM salesman.

High school debate champion dude who thinks that means he should be president?

[rosiebear]

Oh FFS. Again with the wall?!

So the GOP voters will be buying it up then...look at the stuff Trump pedals and swindles then ot of their money through campaign donations...

[cous0226]

All of these dummies were begging trump to show up. It’s actually better off he didn’t show up. It’s already loud and messy and for the most part except for the Dakota guy, Tim and Asa they’ve all pretty much got some time in. Pence is gonna get a hug from momma tonight.

Here you go

@@@ They forgot any mention of "grooming." Though maybe that's "child indoctrination"?

[taratru]

I read Sharon Says So's coverage on IG and kept my BP down. 😂 God, they are clowns, and even though I cannot stand her, Nikki Haley seemed to do very well.

[basilosaurus]

It's there anything worth rewatching? Or a good sarcastic recap?

My friend and I want to have a watch party for the perp walk and mug shot tomorrow, but neither of us had it in us to set an alarm to watch the shit show.

Watching the republican debates in 2015 at a gay bar in DC can't be topped (a very anti r crowd). Although watching another republican debates on capitol hill at a republican enclave was close second, watching each faction in their corners tear each other apart, all trying to convince us (we'd never vote for any of those evil fools).

Watching on my laptop at home, alone, just doesn't have the same appeal.

What’s Vivek’s deal? I don’t know much about him. He seems a little likable but his policies are yeeek.

He wants to be Trump's VP or a cabinet position is what I’ve read. He won’t win over evangelical Rs because he has the wrong skin color and wrong religion. He’s getting his name out there since no one had heard of him until now. IMO smart way to go about that.
